In addition, a company’s network also has secure access protocols. This protocol implements a security layer. MQTT, on which Panduza is based, is an open-source messaging protocol that provides non-permanent communications between devices by transporting their messages. Q: Is there an impact from a security point of view? A bit like an IT manager who can connect to the network at any time. Currently, it is necessary either to duplicate the test bench, or transfer it, or have the engineers travel between design centers.įinally, if a critical test fails at 9 p.m., we could receive an alert and restart it remotely from home without having to wait until the next morning. Let’s take the example of a multi-design-center project at ELSYS Design: a specialist could set up the test bench in the Cachan lab, and the teams in Rennes and Toulouse could launch their tests remotely. With remote control, we could pool the use of this material. Then, the equipment present in the labs is expensive (customer boards, ovens, etc.) and the people with the skills to use it are not always present. First of all, we want to make it possible to automate test plans. Rolling out a test plan in a lab is often long, tedious, more or less reproducible over time and the operations are mostly done by hand, which increases the risk of errors. We want to facilitate the emergence of a better software ecosystem (test frameworks, a control application, a control web app, etc.) in order to be able to remotely control the equipment of an electronics laboratory. As a reminder, MQTT, also open-source, is already used in the field of home automation, both at home and in the business domain. Panduza is an open-source project that aims to standardize the interfaces of electronic devices via the MQTT protocol.

Let’s meet with Xavier, Bryan, and Antoine, very happy to have been selected at the end of the first phase of the “Into the Lab #1” call for projects. The Panduza open source project aims to promote a software ecosystem that will eventually drive hardware in electronics laboratories.
