Paapri Cloud Technologies is a digital transformation company that specializes in enterprise resource planning (ERP) consulting and implementation for small to mid-sized manufacturing businesses. Paapri seeks to aid customers in solving any problems they may have by utilizing their own technologies, such as PCTFlex, a cloud and app-based platform. Whether it be data processing or machine monitoring, PCTFlex can do it. A common request from customers is connectivity from their machinery to Paapri’s platform. However, one problem arises when integrating PCTFlex and older PLC style machines. A serial connection would be needed to send data to PCTFlex, but not all PLCs follow the same serial communication protocol. This would require an almost unique device for each customer. As a result, Paapri has tasked us with creating a commercially viable device, titled FlexBoard, that can interface with PLCs via a variety of serial communication protocols.
