Internet of Things (IoT)

ViableView Internet of Things (IoT) allows to connect physical devices such as barcode scanners, receipt printers, payment terminals, measurement tools, etc. to an ViableView database using an IoT system.

The following IoT systems are supported:

  • IoT box: micro-computer, plug-and-play device (i.e., the ViableView IoT program is pre-installed);

  • Windows virtual IoT: ViableView IoT program for Windows that can be installed on a Windows computer.

Note

  • MRP devices, including cameras and measurement tools, are not compatible with Windows virtual IoT.

  • Multiple IoT systems can be used at the same time.

  • It is also possible to create a Windows Virtual Machine on a MacOS/Linux computer. However, this option is not supported by ViableView, and no troubleshooting assistance will be provided.

IoT box subscription

An IoT box subscription is required for production use of IoT systems. If you have issues related to your subscription, contact the database’s account manager or ViableView partner for assistance.

Tip

If the subscription is linked to an ViableView.com portal user, check the information on the portal’s subscription page.
