2. What is the IoT (Internet of Things)?
The IoT is a constellation of numerous contemporary
technologies working together

3. The effects of the IoT on industry are often cited as
the next industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0.
Industry 1.0 Industry 2.0 Industry 3.0 Industry 4.0
Mechanical

4. Each revolutionary period can be viewed as a natural
extension or evolution of the previous.

5. Those who mastered the technology of their time were
in position to innovate and inspire the next revolution
• Existing infrastructure to change scale of production
• Proven processes to apply in new paradigm
• Knowledge and resources to leverage new
technology
• Awareness of industrial landscape and foresight to
anticipate coming change

6. Industry 1.0
James Watt grew up laboring in his father’s very
successful ship- and house-building business
before creating the steam engine that catalyzed
the first Industrial Revolution.

7. Industry 2.0
Henry Ford earned a living in his youth operating
and servicing steam engines for farmers before
learning about electricity and ultimately
inventing the moving assembly line.

8. Industry 3.0
General Motors was running a highly successful
manufacturing operation using electricity and
moving assembly lines when they commissioned
Dick Morley to create the first PLC
(Programmable Logic Controller), ushering in the
beginning of SCADA and the third Industrial
Revolution.

9. Industry 4.0
Who is leading the charge toward the fourth
industrial revolution and the Internet ofThings?
As with all previous revolutions the major players
are the ones who have mastered the previous
revolution’s technology.

10. IoT is a Natural Extension and
Evolution of SCADA
• SCADA has evolved beyond individual process
control to bring unified control to entire systems of
processes
• Concepts like real-time data visualization and
machine-to-machine communication were born in
SCADA

11. SCADA has evolved so that late generation SCADA
systems are truly first-generation IoT systems.
• Decades of tangible results in high-volume, high-
velocity industrial apps
• Codified communication standards maintained by
organizations like the OPC Foundation
• Interoperability and hardware-agnostic integration
of multiple data systems

12. B-Scada (formerly Mobiform Software) began preparing
for this change before the IoT became a buzzword.
• Changed name to B-Scada (Beyond SCADA) in 2012
• Released management-level SCADA application (Status
Enterprise) in 2013 as Industrial IoT offering
• Released line of wireless sensors and IoT development
platform (VoT Platform) in 2015
B-Scada Saw SCADA Growing
Beyond the Factory Floor.

13. About B-Scada
Originally founded in 2003 as Mobiform Software
Produced data visualization solutions for industries around
the world
Technology licensed into products of some of today’s most
successful companies
Member of OPC Foundation, HART Communication
Foundation, and the Control System Integrators Association

14. The VoT (Virtualization of Things)
Platform
B-Scada’s open platform enables you to consolidate and
organize disparate data – from sensors, logic controllers,
databases, other systems and users – and visualize it in
real time on any device.

15. B-Scada is Making the IoT a Reality
B-Scada sensors and software tools add intelligence to
physical and digital ‘things’, facilitating remote monitoring
and management, integration of separate data systems,
machine-to-machine communication, data analysis, and real-
time visualization.

16. Hosted IoT Monitoring Solution
B-Scada’s VoT Solution is a cloud-based solution that
allows you to benefit from sensor data without
investing in theVoT Platform. Log in to theVoT
Solution gateway on any device with a web browser,
and gain immediate access to real-time sensor data,
trended historical data, numerous personalized
settings, configurable alarms and alarm notifications
sent by email.
B-Scada IoT Solutions
Custom IoT Application Platform
Create sophisticated applications for any IoT project,
connecting thousands of potential devices. Use
powerful tools for data analysis and visualization
through custom user interfaces. Data connectivity
includes OPC UA & DA, Modbus, HART, Excel, SQL and
ODBC data sources, and sensors from B-Scada and
other vendors such as Monnit and B+B SmartWorx.
Custom data sources can also be supported.
*B-Scada’s software is built to industry standards based on OPC UA (Unified Architecture), a secure, platform-independent, service-oriented architecture developed by the
OPC Foundation,The InteroperabilityStandard for IndustrialAutomation™.
