inVirtus Technologies offers a powerful solution to help teams work more efficiently and improve the management of their assets on the shop floor. What’s it for?

inVirtus App. is a mobile application and monitoring platform designed to facilitate the tracking of asset on your operations. It enables teams to track the location, use and condition of their asset in real time, which can be very useful for optimizing operations on site, business parks and improving efficiency.

Automatic localization

The tags from inVirtus Technologies are installed on the asset connected to the smartphones of all your employees. The inVirtus App. works in the background, even when the phone is locked in the pocket. As soon as one of your employees passes close to an ivBeacon Display-equipped device, for example, it detects it and pinpoints its exact location. The app also records alerts for potential problems, such as breakdowns, bottlenecks or necessary repairs, helping teams to plan maintenance operations more efficiently.

No need for anchors and trackers

The inVirtus Technologies application forms a veritable network where users can collaborate. It detects and locates any asset it comes across, without distinction. This means you can benefit from the help of employees in other subsidiaries and warehouses around the world using the inVirtus Technologies solution.

In the world of the Internet of Things (IoT), selecting the best platform is crucial to the success of your connected assets tracking and geolocation project. An IoT platform is the heart of your system, facilitating the collection, processing, visualization and management of data from your connected objects. It offers key functionalities such as geolocation, alerts, scheduling and much more. Find out how to choose the right platform for your needs.

What is an IoT platform?

An IoT platform, short for Internet of Things, is an IT infrastructure that connects, collects, stores and manages data from connected objects. It plays an essential role in the transmission, visualization and analysis of this data, enabling users to make informed decisions. IoT platforms are used in a variety of fields, such as fleet management, construction, healthcare, defense and many others.

How an IoT platform works

The operation of an IoT platform involves the collection of data from sensors, devices and connected objects, followed by its transfer to a data center for storage and analysis. Users can then access this data via connected assets tracking applications or supervision platforms. These applications offer functionalities such as map-based geolocation, alert definition, equipment zone entry and exit planning, and much more.

However, at the heart of this process are the APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that enable communication and interaction between the various components of an IoT platform.

APIs are essential for extracting data, sending commands to connected devices, or accessing specific platform functions.

Proprietary vs. open-source platforms

IoT platforms can be divided into two broad categories: proprietary and open-source.

• Proprietary platforms: These solutions are developed by private companies, often in the form of SaaS (Software as a Service). They generally offer smoother integration with specific devices, and are often more user-friendly for non-technical users. However, they can be costly and limited in terms of customization.
• Open-source platforms: These solutions are developed collaboratively by a community of developers. They are generally free and offer maximum customization. However, they may require technical skills for configuration and maintenance.

Understanding your needs and selection criteria

Before choosing a connected assets tracking and geolocation platform, it’s crucial to understand your specific needs. Here are some questions to consider:

• Tracking objective: What is the main objective of your connected assets and geolocation tracking? Is it fleet management, environmental monitoring, or something else?
• Scalability: Do you foresee future growth for your tracking system? Your platform must be able to adapt to this evolution.
• Interconnectivity: Does your platform need to be compatible with a variety of devices and communication protocols?

The Internet of Things (IoT) has opened up a new world of possibilities for industrial companies in terms of asset tracking and real-time tracking. The use of IoT trackers, such as Invirtus Technologies’ ivTrack Evo, has become commonplace in many industrial sectors. However, for these devices to be used in an aeronautical environment, DO-160 certification has become a necessity. In this article, we explore the importance of DO-160 certification for industrial companies and its impact on IoT trackers, highlighting the recent case of the ivTrack Evo.

DO-160 Certification: The Sesame for airworthy equipment, supplies and parts

DO-160 certification, also known as “Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment,” is an internationally recognized standard that establishes electromagnetic compatibility requirements for electronic equipment intended for installation on board aircraft. Your tracker automatically switches to “airplane mode” when in flight.

“Airplane mode” on an electronic device, such as a mobile phone or a GPS tracker, disables wireless communication functions like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular signals. The purpose of airplane mode is to avoid interfering with other electronic devices in the area, conserve battery by avoiding constant transmissions, and comply with safety regulations in some situations.

The benefits of DO-160 certification for industrial companies

DO-160 certification offers industrial companies an exceptional opportunity to monitor their assets safely and compliantly when used on board aircraft. Here’s how this certification benefits companies:

Impact on IoT trackers

The integration of DO-160 certification into the development of Invirtus Technologies’ ivTrack Evo has a significant impact on the IoT tracker sector.

1. Access to aerospace markets: DO-160 certification opens doors to aerospace markets for industrial companies. It enables IoT trackers, such as ivTrack Evo, to be integrated into aircraft, opening up new opportunities for tracking new asset.
2. Boosting user confidence: Industrial companies are increasingly demanding the quality and safety of IoT devices. DO-160 certification boosts user confidence in the reliability of these devices, which in turn encourages their adoption.
3. Boosting innovation: DO-160 certification encourages IoT tracker manufacturers like Invirtus Technologies to invest in continuous innovation to meet the needs of the aerospace and industrial industries.

Use cases for IoT sensors in aeronautics

IoT sensors have found many applications in the aerospace sector, thanks in particular to connectivity and real-time data collection. Here are a few use cases:

1. Predictive maintenance: IoT sensors constantly monitor the condition of aircraft components, such as engines, hydraulic systems and electronic equipment. This enables anomalies to be detected and maintenance requirements to be anticipated, reducing unplanned downtime.
2. Supply chain management: IoT sensors track the location of pharmaceutical products, for example, including vaccines, which need to be continuously monitored with regard to their temperature, ensuring efficient supply chain management and reducing the risk of quality disruption due to temperature variations and the risk of production delays.
3. Tracking and tracing of packages and asset: Some IoT sensors, like the ivTrack Evo tracker, enable the tracking and inventory management of equipment and packages transported by air. All trackers designed for aviation use, subjected to demanding environmental and electromagnetic conditions, must comply with the DO-160 standard. This compliance ensures their reliable, secure, and accurate operation during flights.

DO-160 certification is an essential element for industrial companies looking to use IoT trackers in aeronautical environments. It opens up business opportunities while guaranteeing reliability, safety and regulatory compliance. This certification not only concerns a specific device, such as the ivTrack Evo from inVirtus Technologies, but has a global impact on the entire IoT tracker industry, stimulating innovation and boosting user confidence. What’s more, IoT sensors have promising applications in aeronautics, helping to improve the safety and efficiency of flight operations.
