IOT Platform for Velocity Laboratories

We developed a highly scalable IoT application for Velocity Laboratories to collect data of experiments on rodents and also control experiments remotely. The application runs on Raspberry PI which is connected to sensors attached to rodents and records their metrics.

Technology Stack

React

Node JS

Next JS

Docker

Maria DB

MQTT

Microservice Orchestration

Raspberry Pi

The Client

Velocity Laboratories helps clients bring pain-relieving medicines to market through innovative and accelerated operant pain-testing methods.

Biobox(Behavioral Input Output Box) is their product which enables communication to an external TFT touchscreen and works logs data to an SD card. It uses Raspbery Pi inside.

The Problem

They wanted a system to start experiments and control them remotely or from intranet. Also data collected from experiments should be synced to cloud.

The Solution

We developed system which records data of experiments, sync data to cloud, manage experiments from intranet or internet. System will run on cluster of raspberry pi's and

Modules

Raspberry PI intranet communication using MQTT, Socket

Raspberry PI to Cloud backend, and Cloud Socket communication via the Internet

Scalable Socket service for real-time communication
