At onEdge NV, we’ve created a transformative platform named Caelum that redefines traditional hardware development with its modular design and rapid deployment capabilities.
Platform Overview
Caelum speeds up the journey from concept to deployment by offering a modular platform that allows for quick design validation and compliance testing. Engineers can focus on innovation, and the platform supports a wide range of wireless and communication protocols, ensuring compatibility with virtually any IoT or industrial application.
Key Features
- Extensive Protocol Support: Caelum is compatible with Zigbee, LoRaWAN, NFC, Bluetooth, BLE, Z-Wave, WiFi, LTE-M, Private 5G Mesh (DECT-NR+), FLRC, MQTT, CoAP, Thread, Matter, and other protocols. This ensures seamless communication across diverse IoT environments.
- Modular Design: The modular architecture lets engineers customize specialized, purpose-driven boards rapidly, shortening development cycles and improving prototyping efficiency.
- Universal Sensing Capabilities: Measure almost any environmental or operational parameter, from seismic activity and air quality indices to vibration, temperature, and chemical composition.
- Machine Control & Data Logging Solutions: Monitor and control devices like actuators, lighting systems, motors, and industrial machinery. Log specific variables to identify trends and diagnose performance issues.
Custom Caelum Boards
Caelum’s modular architecture enables the creation of custom boards tailored to validate specific cases. Our engineering team can design custom boards to meet specialized functionality or unique challenges. This allows even the most specific requirements to be met, delivering the perfect solution to validate and scale innovations.
Data Management and Visualization
InfluxDB is our preferred database for initial concept setups due to its superior performance with time-stamped data. However, Caelum can integrate with any client-preferred database system. The platform supports MQTT, CoAP, and other protocols for comprehensive data communication. We also integrate with Grafana to build insightful dashboards if InfluxDB’s built-in solutions aren’t sufficient.
Use Case Deep Dives
- Environmental Monitoring: Implement Caelum sensors to detect and monitor pollutants, air quality indices, and other environmental factors crucial for urban management and health agencies.
- Smart Agriculture: Deploy sensors that track soil moisture, pH levels, and nutrient content, ensuring optimal irrigation and boosting agricultural yield.
- Healthcare Monitoring: Create wearable devices that continuously monitor physiological parameters, aiding in proactive patient care and remote monitoring.
- Industrial Automation: Monitor machine conditions, vibration, and temperature, enabling predictive maintenance that reduces downtime and improves equipment reliability.
- Research Support: Design comprehensive data-gathering systems to provide research groups with deeper insights into mechanical and environmental science.
Conclusion
Caelum’s modular architecture, protocol flexibility, and schematic reusability enable seamless integration of a wide range of sensors and control solutions.
