We successfully fitted an Industrial Plant Monitoring System into a suit case. We built a compact and portable IoT demo running ubiworx™.
Due to its compact form factor the demo has already travelled the world, showing the Industrial Plant Monitoring demo at events in: Nurnberg - Germany, Rome - Italy and San Francisco - USA.

The goal: to create an industrial monitoring demo packed into a small suit case.
Left Side: Warehouse
The setup on the left side of the demo simulates a warehouse. It consists of an ambient light sensor, an LED and a weight scale.
A manufacturing monitoring application sits on the other side of the perspex. It contains a PWM controllable fan, a vibration sensor and a temperature sensor.
Right Side: Manufacturing
what we have done so far:
Weight scale in use
Using the weight scale, the gateway can monitor the weight of incoming and outgoing items and emit warnings about unexpected or exceeding weights.
ubiworx™ supports a feature called local logic that enables intelligence to be run on the gateway.

ubiworx™ comes with the edge devices side and the cloud infrastructure in one software product. It was easy then to give the sensor remote access and control.
Using ubiworx™ the suit case is instantly connected to the cloud and executes local logic to enable smart and responsive applications even if the gateways are disconnected from the internet.
