Do you need data to feed your software platform?
Hardware that forces you to pay for it does not sound like a good idea.
PLCs based on Arduino, Raspberry Pi or ESP32 can be customised and adapted to your needs.
Forget about paying for licenses or data transport.
Focus on your monitoring platform, that is where you add value. Forget about hardware issues.
Get rid of incompatibilities of proprietary hardware and connect your platform without extra costs that reduce your competitiveness.
Up to 50 % savings
Picture a data acquisition device with:
- lots of standard communications
- competitive price
- easy programming
- no licensing or surprising costs
Proprietary hardware options also involve licensed software, which means added costs and less freedom of movement.
Concerned about security?
Open source offers you fully transparent code. No black boxes with software outside your control.
Make your monitoring platform as secure as possible.
Own the code you develop.
