LoRaWAN® networks provide long-range, low-power communication for Industrial IoT (IIoT) applications. What happens when legacy, unconnected, or remote sensor data needs to be connected to the IIoT network? VoBo solves this problem by bridging the gap between wired sensors and IIoT networks. LoRaWAN® Network Architecture Let’s take a look at a common LoRaWAN® architecture. This […]
Modbus® has been a standard method of communication between industrial devices such as PLCs, sensors, and actuators for decades. It provides a reliable way to exchange data and automate processes. For industries that utilize industrial IoT (IIoT), Modbus® with LoRaWAN® can provide monitoring on another level. VoBo bridges the two, allowing a level of communication […]
Safety is crucial in industrial environments. This is especially true in hazardous areas where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dust may be present. Utilizing IoT devices in industrial applications requires careful use of devices with hazardous area classifications, certifications, and protection to prevent accidents and comply with safety regulations. Volley Boast’s VoBo HL-1 and VoBo […]
For many industries, pressure and differential pressure monitoring are essential for maintaining system efficiency and safety. The VoBo is an excellent choice for pressure and differential pressure monitoring with its long-range and low-power wireless connectivity. The VoBo endpoint is agnostic to the pressure transmitter being used. This makes the VoBo the ideal LoRaWAN® bridge endpoint […]
The insight learned from data analysis is essential for efficiency and decision-making in today’s IIoT environments. LoRaWAN® is low low-power and long-range network where sensor data is typically sent to the server at set intervals. What happens when typical data collection practices don’t fit the operation’s needs? A solution is to analyze that data at […]
Temperature monitoring is essential in industrial environments for ensuring equipment reliability, optimizing operations, and preventing costly failures. Traditional manual inspections are inefficient and often hazardous, making automated monitoring a necessity. The VoBo solves these problems. In this article, we’ll explore the importance of temperature monitoring and see how the VoBo provides a reliable solution for […]
LoRaWAN® is a wireless system that delivers data over long distances and in congested spaces. In any real-world setup, power loss can occur at any time. What happens when the power goes out? More importantly, what happens to the VoBo and the data it collects? We’ll explore this question in this article. Battery Powered IIoT […]
Companies must often integrate data from their wireless system to their SCADA system. LoRaWAN® is ideal for wireless data streams, but the LoRaWAN® server does not directly connect to the PLC. VoBoBridge solves this by bridging LoRaWAN® data with a PLC. This enables a streamlined connection between LoRaWAN® endpoints and SCADA systems, which checks and […]
Many companies have legacy sensors throughout their facilities and operations. These sensors, also known as transmitters, are wired devices often left unconnected to a network. When companies look to gather data from these unconnected sensors, they often replace those sensors with those compatible with a wireless network. However, this isn’t required. With the right equipment, […]
In this article, we’ll look at the major benefits of using VoBo endpoints to help you decide if VoBo is the right product for your applications.
