Hi there,

As we talk with more Blues customers, one thing keeps coming up: the hardest part of building a connected product is not the prototype or proof of concept. The real complexity shows up when you start planning a pilot and preparing to scale across business, operations, and engineering. That's why we are building the Connected Product Guidebook: a practical set of resources designed to help you move from planning to deployment to scale, with lessons drawn from real-world experience.

Start with the Guidebook, take what is most useful to you today, and explore the companion Product Development Roadmap to see how the pieces fit together.

Cheers!
Rob Lauer - Developer Relations

Follow a Device Journey

One lesser-known Notehub capability lives in the Map tab for each device: "Journey". Toggle it on to visualize a device's reported movement over time, giving you a simple way to track assets and better understand where your devices have been.

Try it on Notehub

PLC Connectivity

Our Wireless for OPTA product, which supports both Arduino® Opta® and Finder OPTA® micro PLCs, is getting a strong response from the industrial automation community. To see what teams are building with it, check out the new case study from Output Industries and a hands-on video from our friends at Electromaker.

Snowpipe Streaming

For teams sending high-volume device data into Snowflake, we added the Snowflake Snowpipe Streaming route to Notehub. Snowpipe Streaming enables continuous, low-latency ingestion of streaming data directly into Snowflake, making it a strong fit for near real-time IoT workloads.
