Cloud computing has significantly changed the data management during the last 10 years. Most of the companies have already implemented IoT solutions thanks to the power and reliability of cloud computing. Many people talk about scalability, low maintenance and cost-effectiveness, but cloud is much more than that.

eManager is an OEM industrial controller which is equipped with a high-performance control unit with a Linux Yocto embedded. The device includes RS-232/485 serial communications and an Ethernet 10/100 port. Two versions are available, eManager and eManager Pro, with different options of CPU clock, flash storage or RAM memory. Node-RED software tool is integrated on eManager Pro version.

From the beginning of programming, one of the industry’s main challenges has been to facilitate the applications development to simplify the integration between the hardware devices, the software and us, the humans. Thanks to Node-RED we are much closer of this goal. Programming, without programming.

We are manufacturers, and we know the effort, time and costs involved in creating a customized and certified industrial hardware from ground zero. eMOD is a new hardware system that brings a solution to all these needs. We have evolved the modularity concept to enable the creation of fully customized industrial devices without R&D costs.

It is well know that the more facilities you have to handle, the less time you have to manage each one. In addition, when you exceed a number of establishments, hotels or restaurants, you are no longer able to separately analyze each facility. Nowadays it is as much important to capture your installations’ data as knowing how to manage it in an efficient way. This process is based on filtering this data to perform a fast and effective analysis.

2020 has begun. A year where the business world will be more competitive than ever and where increasing the productivity without major expenses will be a need. We must be aware that if we don’t measure, we won’t get data, and if we don’t get data, we won’t take the right decisions.

We would like to wish all our employees, customers and partners a wonderful Christmas and a brilliant start into a successful New Year 2020!

In an HVAC system installation, including domestic, industrial or office buildings, the energy efficiency consists in generating the best comfort for the user with the lowest electric consumption. This efficiency must be present on the management of the temperature setpoints, the distribution of cold/heat and the scheduled regulation of the system.

MQTT and CoAP both are the most popular Internet of Things protocols. During this post, we will talk about pros and cons of each one.
