2 Application Examples

Arduino Opta® is designed for industrial standard machinery control as a PLC with advanced features such as AI

and connectivity capabilities. It is readily integrated into the Arduino hardware and software ecosystem, including

real-time monitoring via the Arduino Cloud.

Conveyor belt management: Arduino Opta® offers the possibility to configure its inputs as digital or analog

to flexibly collect data from several types of sensors. Thanks to the Wi-Fi®/Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity,

Arduino Opta® can also be smoothly integrated with sensing boards, like the Nicla® ones from the Arduino

ecosystem, leveraging Arduino Opta's potential with vision, sound, weight detection, air quality measurement

and many other capabilities.

Arduino Opta® can use the data from the various sensors as they are or, thanks to its powerful microcontroller,

use the outcome from a computation, to operate a wide variety of industrial machinery through its high-

performing relays.

All these features, wrapped in a compact form factor, make Arduino Opta® the ideal solution for product flow

management in conveyor belts, automated packing or bottling lines.

Real-time industrial monitoring: Get instant access to your factory floor data and to the insights of your

industrial processes to leverage your manufacturing excellence to continuous improvement. Implement visual

management and KPIs monitoring thanks to the Arduino Opta's built-in connectivity features (Ethernet on all

the product variants, Fieldbus and WiFi®/Bluetooth® Low Energy upon choice), delivering in a simple, fast and

reliable way the data collected through beautiful dashboards in Arduino Cloud.

Predictive maintenance: Combine the possibility to interact with wireless and wired sensors, given by the

multiple connectivity options of Arduino Opta®, with the powerful microcontroller computational capabilities

to implement AI algorithms for predictive maintenance. Edge computing and monitoring capabilities, thanks to

the Arduino Cloud features, can help to identify small drifts in your processes to address issues before they

become a problem, reducing production line downtimes and ensuring quality outcomes.
