MOLO17 has designed the Cooperativa Bilanciai world-selling weighing systems to the Era of Industry 4.0 with a powerful and intuitive IoT Dashboard. This IoT Dashboard is accessible to all the resellers network and technicians from the web, where they can inspect metrics data, alarms and KPIs of the machines installed in remote locations.

The challenge

Allow Bilanciai’s electronic weighing terminals to collect all the sensor information from the numerous load cells within an IoT platform. The weighing terminals are connected to each of these cells using a plug-and-play solution, capable of connecting to the current ModBUS field protocol connection, without the need to rewrite the entire firmware stack inside each product then distributed around the world.

The solution

As expert developers of Edge technologies, we have provided the client with a solution that goes from the Edge to the Cloud. It is an easy-to-install Eurotech IoT gateway: it transfers data to a tailored IoT data collection platform, which uses Amazon AWS services to provide users with access to information stored in the time series database via a fully responsive Web dashboard.

Selected Edge Gateway from Eurotech

We chose the Eurotech 10-11 Gateway and connected it to multiple weighing terminals simultaneously via ModBus on RS232 and/or Ethernet, thanks to a properly customized implementation of its business logics. The Gateway can provide data via 3G, Wi-Fi and Ethernet connection to the AWS Public Cloud. All gateways are supplied hardened and remotely manageable via Device Management Cloud.

Tailored IoT Platform secured by Auth0

The platform is securely accessible from the Web via tablets, smartphones and desktops thanks to its responsive design. Platform admins can manage ACLs, roles and provide access to a multi-level hierarchy of users belonging to different branches of the Bilanciai Group or resellers. Everything is made secure thanks to Auth0 integration.

Technicians and suppliers are now able to better follow, inspect and understand usage behaviors, so you can offer even better customer support.
