Built for Sand Testing Labs
One control unit. Any sand testing equipment. Complete traceability from sensor to ERP.
Universal Control Unit
A complete IIoT control device that integrates with any sand testing equipment — compactability, permeability, green strength, shear strength, AFS, and more. Configured per test by programming.
Automatic Wi-Fi Data Transfer
The control unit reads sensor data directly from the equipment and transmits it over Wi-Fi — no manual entry, no delays, no transcription errors.
Operator Input Support
Operators can log supporting information — batch details, mix composition, source, observations — alongside auto-captured sensor readings for a complete test record.
Full Test Traceability
Every test record captures who tested, what was tested, when, how many times, and the result — giving you complete shift-wise and batch-wise traceability.
Out-of-Range Alerts
Define acceptable limits for each parameter. The system flags out-of-spec results instantly so corrective action happens before bad sand reaches the moulding line.
Equipment Manufacturer Ready
Designed as a complete, embeddable control unit — ideal for sand testing equipment manufacturers looking to add IIoT capability to their machines without building it from scratch.
How the IIoT Control Unit Works
Sensor data flows from your sand testing equipment — through the BRS control unit — straight into ERP over Wi-Fi. No middleware, no manual steps.

Common Questions
Everything foundry managers, plant engineers, and equipment manufacturers ask before getting started.
What sand testing parameters does the BRS IIoT Control Unit measure?
The control unit can be programmed to capture any sand testing parameter including compactability, permeability, green compression strength, shear strength, AFS grain fineness, and moisture percentage. Parameters are configured per test type by programming — so if your equipment measures it, our unit can log it.
How does the data transfer to ERP work?
The IIoT Control Unit reads sensor output directly from the equipment and transmits the result over Wi-Fi to the BRS ERP system in real time. No cables, no manual entry, no delays. Operators can additionally input supporting data — batch number, mix composition, observations — via the device interface.
Is it compatible with any sand testing equipment brand?
Yes. The BRS IIoT Control Unit is a universal, programmable control device. It can be integrated with sand testing equipment from any manufacturer — Simpson, Dietert, Omega, or any other brand — because it works at the sensor level. It is also available as an embeddable unit for equipment manufacturers who want to offer IIoT-ready machines.
What traceability information does each test record capture?
Every test record automatically logs: who performed the test, which machine was used, date and time, the test result values, how many tests were run in the shift, and any operator notes. This provides full shift-wise and batch-wise traceability directly in ERP — no paperwork needed.
Does the system alert when results are out of acceptable range?
Yes. You can define upper and lower limits for each test parameter. When a reading falls outside the set range, the system triggers an immediate alert — so corrective action happens before out-of-spec sand reaches the moulding line and causes casting rejections.
Can sand testing equipment manufacturers embed this unit in their machines?
Absolutely. The BRS IIoT Control Unit is designed to be embedded directly into sand testing equipment. Manufacturers can offer IIoT-enabled machines to their foundry customers without developing the hardware, firmware, or ERP integration from scratch. Contact us to discuss OEM partnership options.
