To monitor air quality, air pressure, temperature, humidity, ambient noise and people movement in buildings.
To monitor local weather parameters.
CENSIS has created IoT2Go, a series of plug and play IoT development kits for organisations to try out an IoT solution in their own premises. IoT2Go was developed as part of a Scottish Government programme to raise awareness of IoT technologies.
No experience required
These are quick and easy to set up and can be used by people with no technical or coding experience.
If you have IoT experience
The kits can also be used by those with IoT knowledge as a development platform to find out what else you want your IoT system to measure.
Each system has been designed to be plug and play. All the user needs is internet access (broadband) and a USB charger.
Once you unpack and connect your system, you can sign in to our dashboard and immediately view results. This will help you decide if an IoT system is right for your organisation and if the type of data you are measuring could lead to meaningful business decisions.
Once you have a clear idea of what you want your IoT system to do, we can work with you to develop a more bespoke solution.
If you would like to find out more about using our IoT2Go development kits in your organisation, let’s talk.
Any organisation, which wants to investigate using IoT to improve its own processes or services but is unsure how to get started or how much effort is involved in implementing a solution, will find these kits useful.
Our development kit is designed to be up and running straight out of the box, without any time spent coding or any huge financial commitment.
You can deploy an IoT system in a particular area and see the results quickly. Then you can decide whether this is something you need to implement in your organisation and whether you need a simple kit like this, or if you want to talk to us to make it more bespoke.
We understand why there is uncertainty and you definitely don’t want to commit a large figure to an IoT system when you don’t know if you need it. This is the ideal way to show your team what an IoT system can do. Unpack it from its box, set it up and get started. You will be able to see what can be measured in your organisation and how useful these measurements could be.
You don’t need any with this development kit. We’ve already done the hard work for you and the IoT2Go kits are pre-installed with sensor options. All you need to do is set up the kit following the easy to read instructions and you’ll have an IoT system in place.
No, the sensors/camera are connected to the IoT2Go controller, which is wirelessly connected to an IoT gateway (included). The data from the gateway is displayed on a cloud server, which only you will have access to. Set-up takes less than 10 mins and is similar to connecting your mobile phone to a wireless network.
There are a number of connectivity options available. By default, IoT2Go comes ready to operate over LoRAWAN networks such as “IoT Scotland” or the “Things Network”. Other wireless connectivity options are available on-board for technically competent developers such as NB-IoT, Sigfox, Bluetooth, WiFi.
We’ve taken the pain out of that task too. We’ve tested and trialled various pieces of hardware and the items we’ve selected are ready to use. You don’t need to spend any time researching hardware.
Yes, it is an open flexible and modular system, which can be used as a platform for hardware and software development.
No problem. Use our development kit as a first base board design to test a few measurements around your organisation and decide what you else you want it to do. The development kit links in to established networks and can we can help you work further to expand it to create a bespoke solution. We can work with you to go deeper and develop code to collect other data.
IoT2Go can be used straight out of the box without having to write any code. It is built using powerful OEM development microcontrollers. As such it is a very flexible system allowing both non-technical and technical users to develop IoT solutions with a range of connectivity options.
If you want to incorporate IoT2Go into your processes or services full-time then CENSIS can advise on how to use the solution as a stepping-stone to a fully certified and developed solution.
