"Bolt" which can easily start making IoT system

Although IoT is expressed as "Internet of goods" and it is used as a means to solve problems, it is often heard words, but it is difficult to understand what language is abstract and what kind of thing it is think. The same is true when creating a system, it also takes a lot of time and cost, because it is difficult to understand what to start from when concepts are abstract and how to develop it. Using the integrated platform "IolT" developed by IoT, you do not have to worry about it and you can easily start making IoT systems.

You can tell what "Bolt" is like by watching the movie below.

He is John, 200 years old and has been making IoT products since 100 years ago. ...... This is exaggerated example, but many IoT developers and enthusiasts are using a lot of time, cost and energy to make products.


The previous approaches to making IoT products were boring, troublesome, and especially tough. What should I do if I have a hard feeling like John?


You can solve it by using "Bolt".


It is an IoT platform that can monitor and control various things via the Internet. Moreover, IoT can be realized with just a few steps of work.


First connect the sensor or actuator to "Bolt".


Enter short code.


Then, whether to visualize the data acquired by the sensor ... ...


Just move the actuator and control it.



The bike tells me "I am using too much fuel."


This plant tells me that "I have not got enough water or sunshine".


The basic role of "Bolt" is to gather necessary data from the sensor and visualize it.


You can also remotely control the robot or use the machine learning (ML) algorithm to predict battery condition over time and replace it before failure.


If you want to record every day in order to know how efficiently you are running, there are two ways.


Take notes. Or ...


Use "Bolt" to develop a simple monitoring or control system.



"Bolt" is a fully integrated IoT platform.


The "Bolt" application that runs on both Android and iOS recognizes that the chip is powered on and connects to the Internet network you set up. After that, we will notify you when a secure connection with the cloud account is established.


In the cloud dashboard, you can create products in just 2 steps.


First, configure the hardware ...


In the editor provided in the cloud, simply write code to "monitor the data collected by the sensor" or "control the device".


Using the open API, you can add the tools you added to the dashboardIFTTTYou can also link with services such as.


With the cloud you can receive notifications of important events. In addition, it is even possible to prevent obstacles by executing machine learning algorithms with one click, performing "future data prediction" and "machine abnormality detection".



Also, since "Bolt" has no restrictions on the language to use, you can code it in your favorite programming language. There is no need to worry too much.


"Bolt" can be applied not only to small devices but also to large machines.




In other words, "Bolt" removes all barriers to development of IoT products and proceeding with projects.


It does not matter what kind of person you are and what kind of industry you belong to. "Bolt" reduces the time and effort spent on IoT product development and projects. We are hoping that you will be part of this revolution along with "Bolt".


Although not described in the video, the hardware of "Bolt" is a Wi-Fi module, "" IEEE 802.11b / g / n "encryption protocol is" WPA 2 "" The activation time is 1 second "" Lights up when a cloud is connected "" Function to automatically reconnect even if the connection is broken ". In addition, I / O terminals for connecting with sensors and actuators are said to support 5 ports of "digital I / O", 1 port of "analog I / O", and also UART.


"Bolt" is a cloud-funding platformKickstarterWe are seeking investment for commercialization at the target price of 10,000 dollars (about 1.1 million yen), when we leave 13 days until the deadline, we will collect about 30,000 dollars (about 3,340,000 yen) or more Successful, productization is almost certain.
