Context informations

In the context of the global digital development in Solvay, the R&I laboratories have identified that they need a solution to have global data acquisition solution, this solution must have some control lab equipment, automation functionalities.

Pibox Project is followed by :

Barthélémy PINSON as Project Leader
Romain CLERC as Digital Analyst for IOT hub
Thomas CLERICO as Automation & Robotics manage

Pibox is a Data acquisition / automation solution based on a raspberry pi and the opensource software Node-Red.

Lab equipment such as pumps, heaters, stirrers, temp probe... can be connected to Pibox through RS232 / Modbus connection for controlling them or acquire their data.

Some functionalities can also run simple automation like pH regulation, Mass flow calculation, delay for starting a lab device...

Pibox can also send these Data in an IOT HUB (data base) with Google cloud platform through a connection to the WIFI Solvay network.

a Webcam can also be plugged on the Pibox for viewing / recording only live images.
