Linux-based machinery controller platform

A Linux-based controller platform for agricultural, water treatment, and fertigation machinery. It extends to any number of analog/digital inputs and outputs (AO, AI, DI, DO) to control machines, replacing expensive PLC + SCADA setups with a cost-effective connected solution (Go backend, React UI).

01 / The problem

What it addresses

Traditionally these machines use a PLC connected to SCADA and the Internet, which is expensive, leaving smaller customers unable to afford connectivity inside each machine.

    “We have built Linux based controller that can extend into any number of AO, AI, DI, DO inputs and control the machine. It's very cost effective, and unlocks a lower bottom of the market that before didn't even dream about installing connectivity inside each machine.”
