Measuring air quality with arancino.cc (outdoor)

In many applications it is useful to have a continuous monitoring of heterogeneous environmental parameters for statistical purposes, security, evaluation of effectiveness and optimization. The continuous monitoring is accompanied by environmental monitoring understood as the identification and prevention of risk factors for the protection of the environment and human health. Environmental control allows to quantify the impacts of weather events, starting from the measurement of environmental parameters (e.g., particular matter, amount of rainfall, direction and wind speed, etc.) from sensors connected to intelligent monitoring and control units. Arancino.cc helps to track and assert the air quality in both indoor and outdoor environments, thus becoming “smart” environments and based on the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm.

Measuring air quality with arancino.cc (indoor)

SmartAirLamp is an electronic device made by smartme.IO®, based on the arancino.cc ™ architecture and the LoRaWAN® communication system, which lights up in a different color according to the air quality of the surrounding environment. It consists of a 3D printed plastic case of dimensions (118×104 mm) whose main internal component is the arancino.cc™ mignon electronic board (vers.1.3). In addition to the arancino board, there is a Nano LoRa click module, an environmental sensor, a 24 RGB LED crown, a LoRa wireless module and a 4G PCB antenna (for LoRa data transmission). The weather sensor records the temperature, pressure, humidity and VOC data and sends them to the microcontroller present in the arancino.cc mignon. The microcontroller through the LoRa® module sends the score from the sensor to the gateway, and processes it by transforming it into a color code, which it sends to the ring RGB LED (which consequently changes color or rotates based on this code).

Industrial

Motorsport with arancino.cc

Thanks to the arancino.cc technology, the “SIC – Stretto In Carena” MotoStudent’s team deployed an advanced dashboard for a racing motorcycle. Arancino.cc is used for telemetry, geolocation of the motorcycle in track, the management of the graphic dashboard, and the real-time communication with the Engine Control Unit.

Connecting machines for smart manufacturing facilities

Arancino.cc helps industries to make manufacturing processes “smart”, i.e., safer and sustainable. Arancino.cc enables smart manufacturing facilities, lets collecting data from a large number of machines, tools and IoT sensors. They thus become intelligent and interconnected by means of WiFi 802.11 b/g/n (2.4G), Ethernet, LoRa®, 3G/4G/LTE and GEOlocation with embedded GNSS. Resulting advantages are in the automation by deploying new technologies like machine learning, artificial intelligence and cognitive analytics.
