Three-phase energy metering joins eManager to extend the features of the best markets modular solution, combining energy management with automation and industrial control. From now on you can add electric consumption monitoring to the data capturing and computing point.

PickData will attend to IoT Tech Expo 2021, one of the biggest events in Internet of Things, Blockchain AI & Big Data, Cloud and Cybersecurity in Europe, taking place from November 23rd to 24th in Amsterdam. This year you will find us at Stand 524 of Main Hall.

In August, our business hours will be from 8.00 to 16.00 CET. PickData’s offices, factory and warehouse will remain closed for summer holidays from August 16th to 22th. Remember to send your orders no later than July 23th for guaranteed pre-holiday delivery. We thank you for your understanding and wish you happy holidays!

eManager is an IoT controller designed with eMOD technology for monitoring, control and automation applications. Node-RED is fully integrated on eManager’s product range, including customized nodes. Today we present an online Node-RED simulator as the best tool to program and test our industrial modular solution without needing hardware.

Industrial monitoring and control world has always been associated with PLC concept. Until recently, programmable logic controllers were always the first option to digitalize a factory, but this paradigm has just changed. Devices like eManager or Raspberry Pi provide a solid alternative, or even a complement, to make the leap into Industry 4.0.

The Node-RED’s community is more alive than ever, and proof of that are the increasing numbers of available nodes and the number of manufacturing companies that opt for the integration of this software tool. This article will explore the main nodes to develop applications for the industrial automation and monitoring in Node-RED.

As we announced in previous blog entries, we are performing a full integration between eManager and Node-RED software, creating customized nodes for each of our expansion modules. Today we present two new modules which are already integrated in Node-RED: the module of 5 Digital inputs and 2 Power relays and the Supercap (battery) module.

It is relatively easy to put together an IoT proof of concept (PoC) that sends device data to the cloud, but the challenges get more complex when deploying enterprise-grade IoT at scale. These challenges include integration with factory and enterprise systems, data securitization and doing all of this without incrementing the project budget. Check how Node-RED and Edge computing can help on IoT company projects.

eMOD’s solution welcomes a new model prepared to any kind of installation, the eManager Pro GPRS ACTIO 1072. It is an allrounder eManager Pro, with 10 digital inputs, 7 analog inputs and 2 relays. A device fully integrated with Node-RED to ease the integration with any IoT application.

During the last years, Internet of Things has experienced a significant growth and 2020 has been its most successful year. The coronavirus crisis has raised the market regarding the remote control and monitoring needs for facilities, establishments and factories. In 2021, the sector will undergo a new evolution to achieve these new challenges caused by this new scenario.
