FrontSeat at European Night of Science

On Friday, September 27th, we had the pleasure of participating in the European Night of Science. Held at the Old Market Hall in Bratislava, the event attracted thousands of visitors eager to explore the world of science and technology. At our booth, hosted by the Institute of Information Engineering, Automation, and Mathematics (ÚIAM) from the Faculty of Chemical and Food Technology STU, we showcased exciting demonstrations of automation and process control.

We were thrilled by the overwhelming interest in our hands-on demonstrations of automation and process control. Visitors had the chance to learn the fundamentals of control systems by interacting with our FlexyAir device, which allowed them to adjust the height of a hovering object sustained by a controlled airflow. It was an engaging way to showcase basic control principles in action.

Moreover, our IoT Benzene Core provided live monitoring of various physical quantities such as air temperature, humidity, CO2 concentration, and more. All the data gathered was transmitted to the internet in real-time, offering visitors a glimpse into the world of smart monitoring and data collection.

It was an inspiring event, and we look forward to participating in future editions to spark curiosity and excitement about science and technology!
