NeuronEdge controller from Brainboxes
Brainboxes has launched a smarter way to know what’s happening on your production line. The BB-400 NeuronEdge Controller combines industrial hardware connections with the processing power of a Raspberry Pi Compute Module and the possibilities of opensource software to offer a simple retrofit way to unlock the potential of your equipment.
The BB-400 NeuronEdge combines Brainboxes’ proven IO and serial connectivity with a range of network connections to allow data to flow to the application of your choice. The innovative design uses a Raspberry Pi Compute module and an Arduino to provide edge processing. The Pi is supported by a power management system, making it match the robust demands of industry.
The device offers the flexibility of PC systems with open source API programming options to make integration and customisation user friendly.
Combining insights from machinery of all types and ages can be done through a preferred programming language, such as C# and Python or visually in Node-RED, circumventing many of the interoperability issues that have traditionally hampered integrated automation.
Brainboxes says that with the new BB-400 NeuronEdge controller it is providing a smart factory solution that enables users to achieve a significant step on their Industry 4.0 journey straight out of the box.
