Why “Sensor-Agnostic” Matters More Than Ever in IoT 

Uncategorized / By

Flexibility is crucial in the evolving landscape of the Internet of Things (IoT). The ability to connect, monitor, analyze, and act on data from a wide variety of sensors is what drives innovation for industries. Unfortunately, many IoT systems are locked into proprietary ecosystems. This limits their adaptability and increases long-term costs.  This is why the VoBo sensor-agnostic solution is important. By supporting sensors from any manufacturer and type, whether they …

VoBo: Smarter Industrial Monitoring at the Edge 

VoBoAnalytics, VoBoSync / By

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 …

Understanding the Power Budget of Battery-Powered VoBos 

Best Practices, VoBo Devices & Features / By

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, …

Manage Modbus® 32-Bit Numbers with VoBo 

Uncategorized / By

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 …
