IIoThink Lab by RAFA Solutions is an educational kit based on NI myRIO that enables the easy studying of IIoT hardware and software concepts.
The IoT (Internet of Things) links smart objects to the Internet. It enables an exchange of data never available before and delivers information to users in a more secure way.
The IIoT expands the Internet and networks to places and applications such as manufacturing floors, energy grids, healthcare facilities, and transportation. Industrial devices, such as sensors, actuators, and embedded controllers, are being connected to the Internet to allow online and remote control and monitoring.
The main idea of IIoThink Lab is to bridge the gap between conceptually different faculties in universities, such as Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
The basic experiments include various useful and interesting exercises, which give a unique opportunity to fully understand what sensors and actuators are, basics of data acquisition, control systems, statistical analysis, cloud communication and its usage. There are also project-based experiments, which help students to explore small but real IoT projects, such as irrigation system or warehouse management. Students will conduct all the hardware wiring on their own, which will help them to better understand how ‘things’ are designed. As a cloud technology, IIoThink Lab uses NI Systemlink and IBM Watson cloud platforms.
One of the main advantages of the kit is its comprehensive curriculum that covers various aspects of the Internet of Things. It includes topics such as sensors and actuators, data acquisition systems, deep understanding of IoT protocols, statistical analysis and control systems.
