NORVI expands its Industrial IoT Device range 

Out of hundreds of devices out there on the market we wish to serve a different aspect of Industrial IoT Devices , 
Flexibility in expansion, communication and reliability is our main focus. Making a reliable device, reliable on industrial environment is challenging while maintaining flexibility.
We were doing Research on introducing a series of expansion modules for our key IoT Hardware, NORVI IIOT and NORVI Arita.
Finally, we were able to release 7 expansion modules as,
1) NB-IOT with BC95-G
2) LoRa with Reyax
3) Analog (0-10V)
4) Analog (4-20mA)
5) Temperature (thermocouple)
6) Temperature (RTD)
7) Load cell



All the modules communicate with the controller via expansion port on the side of the controller. Expansion ports are facilitated with I2C and UART lines., There is no hassle in programming for the expansion modules, they connect with the host controller as usual modules. 
For more information on expansion modules
https://norvi.lk/norvi-expansion/

Additional to its expansion modules, we launched two new products for more simpler applications.
NORVI Agent 1 is a model with lesser input count than NORVI IIOT with options to choose the type of micro-controller depending on application. It is offered with either ESP32-WROVER32 or STM32L series ultra low power micro-controller. As communication options NB-IoT and LoRA comes built in. It has RGB led on the top of the controller and can be programmed as a status indicator.
If you with to go battery powered without WIFI connectivity STM32L series micro-controller can provide years of battery life.
