Combining the power of ubiworx™, ubilinux™ and an UP board we have transformed a construction site connected to the cloud 24/7.
In response to a need of an important client, we designed a complete solution to constantly monitor a construction site, gathering data about noise and vibrations. Some of the challenges we had to face in this project were:
Remote data gathering of industrial grade sensors
Radically minimize the solution's cost
Provide 24/7 monitoring and real-time notifications
Design an off-the-grid solution
The previous scenario:
Noise and vibrations sensors
On the construction site the most commonly used data collector instruments would gather data and store it on SD cards which would have to be collected manually.
They would include no remote management or network access capabilities.
A tilt sensor
Our solution:
The ubiworx™ stack
Thanks to ubiworx™ framework, we easily connected all the legacy instruments to an unique intelligent layer linked to the cloud, hence implementing an incredibly cost-effective solution.
Ubiworx is running on the ubilinux™ operating system and they both rely on the power of an UP board.

ubiworx™ comes with the edge devices side and the cloud infrastructure in one software product. It was easy to give all the sensors remote access and control.
Thanks also to the power of the hardware, we were able to run CPU intensive tasks providing the cloud with ready-to-plot data.
