Bivocom TR321 is a compact design IoT Router, supports global 4G LTE, or LTE-M/NB-IoT, and it comes with 1-RS232, 1-RS485 and 2-RJ45 Ethernet ports(10/100MB), that allows IoT developers to connect the serial port and ethernet ports sensors, controllers, PLC to router. In addition, it has rich industrial protocols, such as Modbus RTU/TCP, MQTT, JSON, TCP/UDP, easily help to convert the data format and transfer to remote cloud IoT platform. Besides, it has option of 2.4G WIFI supports captive portal for WIFI advertisement and radius WIFI field router maintenance. What’s more, it supports multiple VPN protocols, includes, PPTP, L2TP, IPsec, GRE, OpenVPN, providing secure VPN tunnel for data transmission.

While as the standard housing of TR321 is IP30 only, that has limited its usage for IoT applications that require waterproof housing, so the aluminum designed IP65 housing will definitely help to withstand dirt, dust, debris and low-pressure water jets.

Bivocom TR321 IoT router has been widely used for IP camera, EV charger, digital signage, automatic meter reading, air compressor remote monitor and control, etc. It’s designed upon OpenWRT Linux OS, providing Python/C/C++ programming for IoT developers and engineers.

What Is Exploration Drilling?

Exploration Drilling is used in the mineral mining sector to probe the contents of known ore deposits or to explore sites for potential geological/commercial value. Exploration drilling allows geologists to extract and examine sample core profiles at the surface with reduced environmental impact and lower costs.

Except mining industry, exploration drilling is also used in below industries and applications, such as

1. Civil engineering
2. Construction
3. Water
4. Oil and Gas

While as exploration drilling normally requires worker to dig drilling hole from 100 to 1,000 meters depth or more, for different applications you may need different drilling rigs.

Types of Drilling Rigs 

1. Water Well Drilling Rigs

2. Mineral Exploration Drilling Rigs

3. Geotechnical Drilling Rigs

4. Multipurpose Drilling Rigs

When IoT Meets Exploration Drilling

The traditional exploration drilling needs manually report data of drilling depth and status of drilling rig, which is time and labor consuming. Thanks to the IoT technology, you can connect the sensors of drilling rig to a Bivocom 4G IoT gateway, and transfer the data of drilling hole and drilling rig to remote office and control center, to reduce operating costs, increase productivity, increase utilization of equipment, reduce environmental impact, and enhance health and safety conditions.

First of all, we need to know what is Mobile VMS and what is it used for?

Mobile Variable Message Sign

With a single sign that serves multiple functions, Mobile Variable Message Signs (VMS) are an ideal road signage solution for informing, advising and influencing road users and the wider public, applications as below.

1. Temporary roadworks
2. Events and crowd control
3. Advertising
4. Weather and air quality information

Why Need Mobile Variable Message Sign?

The need for a visible message is not always fixed or permanent, sometimes people need to be informed of temporary roadworks, flood warning, changes in traffic flow or upcoming events in the area, and more recently we have seen mobile displays used to communicate Covid-19 messages.

IoT Technology Empowers Mobile VMS

As we know, the mobile VMS is not always installed in a fixed location, they may be moved to different places wherever it is needed. Besides, the message always changes for different applications, and this has brought some challenges to the owners of mobile VMS, such as

1. How to manage the massive message and transfer the instant message without going to field?
2. How to monitor the changing status and location of mobile VMS?

Thanks to IoT technology, the challenges mentioned above have been easily solved by using industrial 5g/4g IoT router and cloud IoT platform.

The industrial 5g/4g router provides robust wireless communication between the field variable message sign and remote cloud IoT platform, and receive instant message or commands from IoT platform. Besides, it is also used to transfer the status of operation of sign and solar panel, as well as battery installed on the trailer.
