It isn’t a “thing.” PTC management seems to “get it.” As you’ll read further down, PTC is not pursuing a simple bolt-on strategy such as what several companies have come to me to help justify. PTC Acquisition Bolsters Internet of Things Offeringīy Gary Mintchell | | Commentary, Internet of Things, News, Operations Managementįollowing on to last week’s quick post of PTC’s Internet of Things acquisition of Kepware, I’ve gone a little deeper into the build up to and the strategy of the acquisition.įirst off, the Internet of Things is a strategy. According Dave Hellyer, Sr VP Marketing, “Tatsoft believes that we can use the intersection of people, data and intelligent machines to have a far-reaching impact on the productivity, efficiency and operations of industries around the world.”

For Raspberry PI, we also included easy access to onboard I/O in addition to all other HMI features.” explains Marcos (Marc) Taccolini, Tatsoft LLC CTO. NET Framework, Linux operating system with the Mono Framework and Raspberry PI devices. “The development tools are the same whether you are deploying projects to Microsoft Windows computers running. The FactoryStudio platform can also work as the presentation layer and data gateway to historian systems, such as OSIsoft PI, Prediktor APIS, and ERP systems such as SAP, or directly connect with the SQL enterprise databases.

Those embedded applications can easily communicate with remote FactoryStudio applications on the cloud, or on premises, accessing and consolidating distributed information. It provides an Application Development Platform to allow easy creation of solutions for the device level itself, with Graphical real-time displays, communication protocols to PLC’s, data logging, alarm engine, local SQL storage and C#/VB.NET scripting. With FactoryStudio, projects can scale from local embedded devices and mobile applications up to very large, distributed, high performance fault-tolerant systems. It has released its FactoryStudio Industrial IoT (IIoT) HMI for Raspberry PI and Linux.įactoryStudio delivers real-time information with a set of fully-integrated modules in a unified and intuitive engineering user interface. HMI for IoT and Raspberry PI and Linuxīetting on that is Tatsoft. We have moved to the cloud in a big way for many applications including HMI/SCADA.

But Microsoft Windows won (remember the 1999 ARC Forum in Orlando when the Sun guys promoting Java as an OS packed up and headed out?), and Linux has been sort of peripheral. I started following it somewhere around 1999 and even started to write about Linux in automation for a Linux magazine about that time. Use of Linux in industrial automation has never reached any sort of critical mass.

I figure there must be a number of engineers figuring out how to implement these devices to reduce cost and complexity. I’ve seen a number of really cool projects on various tech blogs and video podcasts. Raspberry PI is an intriguing small, inexpensive computing platform.
