Arduino based PLC - Where Arduino Meets Industrial Applications

Some people still think about Arduino and open source electronics as a toy for hobbyists and students.

We believe that open source hardware is in the process of revolutionizing electronics and industry in all fields of our lives.

Arduino and its shields have matured to be a modern way of researching tool, rapid prototyping and even in the field equipment for many industries.

Ease of use has made Arduino a good candidate for many applications. The variety of tools and millions of lines of code have facilitated the process of development.

Abundant sensors and massive processing power have found their way in Internet of Things era.

Collaborating with Big Data to collect huge amounts of bits of data to form useful information that lead to giant knowledge base for decision making on larger scales; Arduino is the heart for this big picture.

Today you can find weather monitoring stations completely built around open source hardware using open source tools for competitive prices.







Many companies are forming around Arduino platform to evolve into industrial automation makers.

To name some:

industrialshields.com is making its own industrial Arduino PLC and shields to control water level in tanks, production lines and weather station monitoring systems.

sferalabs.cc is making industrial enclosures for Arduino kits and shields for robustness.

If you are interested in Arduino, you can start by learning how to build your own industrial application.
