Description
This session will feature two examples of real-world Swim applications.

Senior software engineer at SWIM.AI, Scott Clarke, will demonstrate how to integrate and transform data streams in a Swim application, using his Swim Greenhouse application as an example. This application uses Raspberry Pis and sensors to monitor plants in the Swim office, but the same patterns can be applied to any use cases involving sensors and/or a network of devices. In addition to Swim, each device is also running a minimal NodeJS server is used by the web app and as a data bridge from the sensors into Swim. Scott will cover integrating new data streams, creating aggregations and other application logic, and how to generate APIs from Swim data. All source code for this app is available on GitHub: https://github.com/swimos/greenhouse

Corporate innovation specialist, Ali Isitman, will demonstrate how Maxitech used Swim to turn "non-smart" industrial devices into data-producing, smart equipment. This enabled the creation of an end-to-end solution for small to medium-sized businesses that monitors industrial devices in real-time and can run on any computer or mobile device without the need for specialized equipment. Ali will highlight a pilot project consisting of an edge device that reads, processes and relays sensor data to a central application. The central infrastructure creates digital twins of devices and allows the customer to view insights in real-time, updating state every time the source data changes. This infrastructure can support both web and mobile applications, which allow the customer to view the real-time data and intervene when necessary. The edge device is comprised of very low-cost products and can be assembled as a plug & play unit, avoiding the need for costly custom-tailored solutions.
