What is the IoT (Internet of Things)?The IoT is a constellation of numerous contemporary technologies working together
The effects of the IoT on industry are often cited as the next industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0.
Industry 1.0 Industry 2.0 Industry 3.0 Industry 4.0
Mechanical production powered by

Those who mastered the technology of their time were in position to innovate and inspire the next revolution• Existing infrastructure to change scale of
production
• Proven processes to apply in new paradigm
• Knowledge and resources to leverage new technology
• Awareness of industrial landscape and foresight to anticipate coming change
Industry 1.0James Watt grew up laboring in his father’s very successful ship- and house-building business before creating the steam engine that catalyzed the first Industrial Revolution.
Industry 2.0Henry Ford earned a living in his youth operating and servicing steam engines for farmers before learning about electricity and ultimately inventing the moving assembly line.
Industry 3.0General Motors was running a highly successful manufacturing operation using electricity and moving assembly lines when they commissioned Dick Morley to create the first PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), ushering in the beginning of SCADA and the third Industrial Revolution.
Industry 4.0Who is leading the charge toward the fourth industrial revolution and the Internet of Things? As with all previous revolutions the major players are the ones who have mastered the previous revolution’s technology.
IoT is a Natural Extension and Evolution of SCADA
• SCADA has evolved beyond individual process control to bring unified control to entire systems of processes
• Concepts like real-time data visualization and machine-to-machine communication were born in SCADA
SCADA has evolved so that late generation SCADA systems are truly first-generation IoT systems.
• Decades of tangible results in high-volume, high-velocity industrial apps
• Codified communication standards maintained by organizations like the OPC Foundation
• Interoperability and hardware-agnostic integration of multiple data systems
B-Scada (formerly Mobiform Software) began preparing for this change before the IoT became a buzzword.• Changed name to B-Scada (Beyond SCADA) in
2012
• Released management-level SCADA application (Status Enterprise) in 2013 as Industrial IoT offering
• Released line of wireless sensors and IoT development platform (VoT Platform) in 2015
B-Scada Saw SCADA Growing Beyond the Factory Floor.
About B-Scada
Originally founded in 2003 as Mobiform Software
Produced data visualization solutions for industries around the world
Technology licensed into products of some of today’s most successful companies
Member of OPC Foundation, HART Communication Foundation, and the Control System Integrators Association
The VoT (Virtualization of Things) Platform
B-Scada’s open platform enables you to consolidate and organize disparate data – from sensors, logic controllers, databases, other systems and users – and visualize it in real time on any device.
B-Scada is Making the IoT a Reality B-Scada sensors and software tools add intelligence to physical and digital ‘things’, facilitating remote monitoring and management, integration of separate data systems, machine-to-machine communication, data analysis, and real-time visualization.
Hosted IoT Monitoring Solution
B-Scada’s VoT Solution is a cloud-based solution that allows you to benefit from sensor data without investing in the VoT
Platform. Log in to the VoT Solution gateway on any device with a web browser, and gain immediate access to real-time sensor data,
trended historical data, numerous personalized settings, configurable alarms
and alarm notifications sent by email.
B-Scada IoT Solutions
Custom IoT Application Platform
Create sophisticated applications for any IoT project, connecting thousands of potential
devices. Use powerful tools for data analysis and visualization through custom user
interfaces. Data connectivity includes OPC UA & DA, Modbus, HART, Excel, SQL and ODBC data sources, and sensors from B-Scada and
other vendors such as Monnit and B+B SmartWorx. Custom data sources can also be
supported.
*B-Scada’s software is built to industry standards based on OPC UA (Unified Architecture), a secure, platform-independent, service-oriented architecture developed by the OPC Foundation, The Interoperability Standard for Industrial Automation™.
