January 28, 2015 - B-Scada announced VoT (Virtualization of Things) that allows real world objects and other sources of data to be represented in a virtual model that retrieves live data from any number of different sources. Virtualization enables real-time monitoring and management of these objects in a structured environment that can include any number of items at any number of locations.
VoT creates an open system that consolidates and organizes disparate data, transforming it into actionable information that can be visualized in customizable user interfaces on any device from anywhere with a web connection.
VoT is available as an extensible, open platform that allows users to create their own custom IoT applications, or it can be deployed as a hosted, cloud-based solution implemented and managed by B-Scada.
The VoT Platform can receive data from hundreds of potential data sources, and new or custom data sources can be added with relative ease. By managing people, places, and/or things in a virtualized environment, users are creating a unified data management system that allows any and all virtualized data to access the many features of the VoT Platform, including:
- Alarming
- Analytics
- Reporting
- Time-based or Condition-based Workflow
- Security (User Roles and Workspaces)
- Web Accessibility on Any Device
