PANJIM: The popular Bolt platform created by Inventrom, a Goan company, has now been upgraded with Bolt 2 being launched in Bengaluru at the Thought Factory. Bolt is an IoT platform that helps enterprise and makers to connect their devices to the Internet.
Bolt comes with a WiFi/GSM chip to connect your sensors to the Internet. You can configure this system over the Bolt cloud to receive, store and visualise the data. You can also connect actuators and control them via Bolt Cloud. The platform reduces your effort to build IoT products as well as the time to market in a huge way. With Bolt you can build scalable IoT products and services in just a few days time.
Talking about Bolt 2, Pranav Pai Vernekar, CEO of Inventrom Pvt Ltd, stated “As part of the Bolt 2 design, we worked on the philosophy of ‘building it for developer and user happiness’. We want to offer a complete development experience from interfacing of sensors to data analytics“.
Since the launch of Bolt version 1, last year, more than 1000 developers are using Bolt. Some of the enterprise clients who use the Bolt IoT platform include ITC and Marico.
Dattaprasad Naik, Electronics Engineer at Inventrom said “The new Bolt 2 WiFi module is 40% smaller and 3 times faster than its earlier version. We are now in the process of launching the GSM variant of Bolt hardware module.”
Bolt IoT worked with Goa based Genora Infotech to built new Bolt app for Android and the one of iOS is in pipeline. The Bolt app lets you setup Bolt 2 in just a few seconds and you can now control and view the data from your smart devices via the UI built by you on Bolt Cloud.”
However, the most important feature of Bolt 2 is the Bolt Cloud. Sourabh Tiwari, Software Developer at Bolt IoT said, “The Bolt Cloud can now store the data, but what makes it amazing is that deploying the storage configuration is so easy that even a 10-year-old kid will be able to do it.
