Hola! Can you comment what type of machines you are trying to control? There are many options to get what you want, but it depends on the client’s budget, technical skills and the complexity of the process. E.g,. this is my way to get what you try doing if I understood your scope/idea. It’s an old demo (currently data update is not working as expected) but I think you will understand the steps and software you are going to need if your want to have a Pro solution. > [@Glide with IoT, IIoT (Industrial IoT) and Domotic applications](https://community.glideapps.com/t/glide-with-iot-iiot-industrial-iot-and-domotic-applications/22698): > > Hi guys, Here I show you my demo APP where I simulate a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) for cellular stations. From APP, the user could read/write values (real-time and historical data) from/to devices or machines connected to system. Of course, machines don’t talk XML, JSON or HTML and Glide and Google services don’t talk industrial protocols either so, I use something called \*\* IoT Gateway\*\* as translator and move the data from plant floor to cloud and vice ver… I have a new demo about IIoT and in the next few days I will post it to share and get some feedback to improve it.
