Gertec is a Brazilian leader in retail devices products. SAT fiscal is a device ruled by the government, responsible to send real-time retail purchases to the government’s servers. Gertec is a manufacturer of SAT devices. Created a system responsible to get the device status and send it to a web cloud system that shows the devices and consolidates information, detecting and alarming operation problems. Achieved real-time monitoring of Brazilian fiscal machines (SAT devices) installed in POS in retails. The system detects problems with receipts and issues alarms in case of problems. Technologies used: C++, Qt Framework, MQTT protocol, IBM Watson IoT platform, Python.
Karcher Brazil is implementing industrial IoT projects on its factory floor. The first project was to remote monitor its line composed of 8 plastic injection machines, delivering real-time production information. A system composed of local data collection software and storage system was implemented. Worked on project design and development. The project was successfully launched and is currently in operation. The result was monitoring the real-time operation of plastic injection machines on a factory floor using Industry 4.0 (IoT) technologies. Technologies used: C#, OPC Protocol, MQTT protocol, Microsoft SQL Server.
Balestro is a Brazilian company that manufactures electrical products. The company’s main product is surge discharge protection equipment used in electric substations plants. The challenge was to create a device and a system to detect the quality of the surge discharge protection device remotely, without the need of a human to be close to the device for inspection. Achieved real-time monitoring of surge discharge devices installed in electric substation plants. Based on an IoT device installed in the surge discharge protector device, it collects data and detects problems, issuing alarms. Technologies used: C#, MQTT protocol, InfluxDB, PostgreSQL.
Nylas securely powers email, calendar, and contacts integrations, saving months of building infrastructure. The APIs unlock valuable insights from communications data, empowering companies to quickly launch email and scheduling solutions that drive more engaging customer experiences.
