Barco gets Insights from the cloud
Barco Insights gives real-time information on the operating and environmental conditions of the projectors
Barco headed for the cloud when seeking a new solution for enhanced projector management. Barco Insights is a new connectivity platform intended to facilitate and simplify remote monitoring and servicing of projectors.
The software cuts out time-consuming and error-prone manual administration as a result of its cloud-based storage of projectors’ usage data and light-source run times, while live dashboards also give real-time information on the operating and environmental conditions of the projectors. Users can securely access the IoT platform on any device with an internet connection. The manufacturer promises that there is no complex setup and network configuration required, or no local host PC and special software to install to make it all work.
Rollout of this subscription-based cloud platform is happening in stages throughout 2020. The basic features will be automatically embedded in Barco UDM projectors for the first two years of usage.
