The Evolution of Industrial IoT—Powered by Qt
Qt Group's Industrial Automation demo highlights how the Qt Framework's capabilities for Industrial IoT—such as graphics, connectivity, and cross-platform reusability—help organizations in transitioning to Industry 4.0.
OBJECTIVES
Enabling the Transition to IR4.0
Far beyond UI design and development, the Qt Framework delivers rich cross-platform libraries for connectivity, data management and visualization, advanced 2D and 3D graphics, and more—essential to entering the industrial IoT revolution.
Qt tools deliver rich SCADA systems where large data sets are easily presented and operated via dependable real-time visualizations. Additionally, accurate intelligence of the user actions is collected with Qt Insight.
Our IA demo showcases how Qt functionalities play together to build the future Smart Factory.
SETUP
Entering the Factory of the Future
Showcasing a 3D factory floor and a set of fixed and portable control units, our demo includes the core elements of a state-of-the-art IoT factory.
A SCADA system offers a variety of easily readable KPIs and customization capabilities for layout, theme, device type, and more.
Real-time control over the production line enters the SCADA system via digital-twin technology to simulate remote processes, testing, and optimization.
Portable devices are enhanced with augmented reality for efficient interaction with the environment.
TOOLS
Scaling Productivity and Efficiency
In addition to the ready-made functionality for the creation of high-performance HMIs (connectivity, real-time graphics, UI components), Qt's C++ backbone enables easy integration with a variety of third-party products and services. We leveraged open-source and proprietary software for various elements.
NVIDIA AI platform automates fault detection in the production chain via image recognition.
Controlled via Qt OPC UA module, an open-source 3D printed robot arm has its counterpart on the digital floor.
