Barco reveals first IoT platform for projectors

Visualisation solutions vendor Barco, has announced a new cloud-based internet of things (IoT) solution for enhanced projector management.

Dubbed Barco Insights, the connectivity platform will simplify and facilitate remote monitoring and serviceability.

The introduction of Barco Insights is aimed at bringing efficiency, reliability and flexibility.

According to Barco, the platform cuts out time-consuming and error-prone manual administration thanks to the cloud-based storage of projectors’ usage data and light-source run-times.

The live dashboards also give real-time information on the operating and environmental conditions of the projectors for more effective device analysis and proactive troubleshooting.

Users can securely access the IoT platform on any device with an internet connection.

Rollout of this subscription-based cloud platform will happen in different stages with functionality becoming gradually available throughout 2020.
