Internet of Things (IoT)
BridgeERP Internet of Things (IoT) allows to connect physical devices such as barcode scanners, receipt printers, payment terminals, measurement tools, etc. to an BridgeERP database using an IoT system.
The following IoT systems are supported:
IoT box: micro-computer, plug-and-play device (i.e., the BridgeERP IoT program is pre-installed);
Windows virtual IoT: BridgeERP 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 BridgeERP, 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 BridgeERP partner for assistance.
Tip
If the subscription is linked to an www.mybridgeerp.com portal user, check the information on the portal’s subscription page.
