In the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), many devices gather and transmit data from the field to centralized systems. This works well for basic monitoring, but it also creates a flood of raw information that must be sorted and analyzed at the server or users’ stations. This can lead to inefficiencies, bandwidth congestion, lost data, and higher network costs. The VoBo goes far beyond simple monitoring. It’s not just a bridge between wired sensors […]

In the industrial world, data is the foundation of decision-making. It helps you see what’s happening, understand trends, and take action. The challenge is that data collection can be complicated and expensive. These problems grow as the business expands. That’s why the VoBo was created. It’s an intelligent LoRaWAN® endpoint that was designed to make […]

The power budget is one of the most critical steps when designing a battery-powered VoBo monitoring system. Every sensor and connection draws energy from a limited source. Exceeding that power budget can cause unreliable operation and shorten the battery life. This guide explains how to calculate power requirements, estimate battery life, and plan your setup accordingly. The current battery-powered products are the VoBo GP-1/ HL-1 and Vobo TC. 1. Power Consumption Factors for a VoBo VoBos are industrial, […]

Modbus® is one of the most widely used industrial communication protocols for sensors, meters, and controllers. At its core, Modbus® works with 16-bit registers. But many real-world industrial values, such as flow rates, energy consumption, and pressures, cannot be represented in just 16 bits. Instead, many devices commonly use 32-bit integers or floating-point numbers. For […]

LoRaWAN® is popular for enabling low-power, long-range communication between battery-powered devices and centralized gateways. When used with a VoBo in noisy industrial environments, it offers even greater value for connectivity, robustness, and versatility. In plants, refineries, and other electrically dense environments, VoBo bridges the gap between wired sensors and wireless LoRaWAN® networks, offering a reliable […]

When deploying LoRaWAN® devices for monitoring and data acquisition, raw sensor measurements aren’t useful until they are converted into a value that has meaning. Operators, analysts, and engineers rely on meaningful, real-world values, such as pressure in PSI, temperature in °C, or tank levels in feet, to make informed decisions. The Volley Boast VoBo makes […]
