Me and my friend are building a platform for agricultural / water treatment / fertigation machinery.

Traditionally these kind of machines would use a PLC, and then get connected to Scada and Internet, but that's expensive.

We have built Linux based controller that can extend into any number of AO, AI, DI, DO inputs and control the machine. It's very cost effective, and unlocks a lower bottom of the market that before didn't even dream about installing connectivity inside each machine.

Our first project is https://waboost.com/

It's a water treatment machine, and we are looking for more clients.

Right now we are talking to grain separator company, and one fertigation company.
