Project combining Raspberry Pi, an Arduino and a flowmeter to collect Business Intelligence for Beer Industry

carriots

Here is the video of the project:

 

This video is unavailable.

 

This project proposes to install a flowmeter between the beer barrel and the tap. Each time a beer is served the information is sent to Carriots. Then, all data is stored and pushed to external information systems to extract useful information by the smart Business Intelligence guys.

 

More information on the project here https://www.carriots.com/cool_project/flowmeter

 

You can create a similar project using our tutorial on how to combine Arduino, Raspberry Pi, a flowmeter and Carriots to collect data:  https://www.carriots.com/tutorials/Arduino_RPi_Carriots/flowmeter

This tutorial includes all the source code you need to create the project.

 

Enjoy it!

  • Hi all,

     

    Sorry for the delay in answering this conversation, we missed the notifications to be alerted on the conversation.

     

    We will try to answer all the questions:

     

    1. Carriots is a company based in Spain that markets its Platform as a Service under a Freemium model.

    2. We have two types of accounts Free Accounts and Corporate accounts (Premium).

    3. The FREE account will remain FREE FOR EVER as long as the company provides this service.

    4. The FREE account will retain all its fuctionallities or will be even improved, never downsized. You will always have 10 devices for FREE to use.

    5. The cost of the Corporate account is 2€ per device per month and you will have extra features than the free account and most of all, no limit to the number of devices used in your project. This account will be launched in September when our Beta phase ends. Once the Beta phase ends, FREE accounts will still be available and even will have some extra features.

    6. All the accounts, even FREE will have in a few days a feature to export your data to a CSV file. You data is yours and we want your data to be exportable.

    7. We really want to thank our Beta testers and our commitment is to still support a community for makers with FREE accounts and services. Please also check our forum forum.carriots.com where we help a lot of our free users and implements their suggestions during this Beta phase.

     

    We hope all these statements solve your questions. If you have any more please let us know. We will be glad to respond and be clear on our Strategy and T&C.

     

    On another topic and related to Jonathan thoughts on the Pi and cloud relation. Our vision is that a Platform on the cloud like Carriots just boost the power of the PI by integrating it with other devices and more systems. For example in this project scenario the data gathered will end a Business Intelligence suite like cognos for data mining but the device can also trigger maintenance alarms to external systems. All these features can not be done exclusively by the Pi, specially if you consider thousands of devices collecting information.

     

    We hope this post is not too late and we would be glad to hear what you think!

     

    Regards,

    The Carriots Team.
