What are Dragonfly's architectures?
Should I pick a Cloud or Local version?

Dragonfly is a flexible technology that can work on multiple Operating Systems and is available under different architectures.
Let's explore them together.

Cloud based

  • 4 Minutes Setup
  • WiFi Connection Required
  • Monthly fees, no contract

Local Server

  • Local WLAN connection
  • One central server per-location
  • One time fees

On board processing

  • Computing on board, no server
  • No wireless connection needed
  • One time fees

CLOUD

How does the Cloud Installation work?

Requirements

WiFi or 4G Connection

2 Mbps/device

Camera

A camera on board of the device, or our Dragonfly Streamer

Is there already a camera on board of the device (robot, drone, forklift, AGV...)?​

Make sure that:

  • The camera has a wide angle (130°-180°)
  • It can stream a VGA video (640×480) to Accuware’s server.
 Then, contact us to get a step by step guide to get started.

The cloud based architecture requires either:

And a WiFi, 4G or 5G connection with internet access.

LOCAL SERVER

How does the Local Server Installation work?

Requirements

WLAN / Local wireless Connection

2 Mbps/device

The Local Server architecture requires either:

And a WLAN or local wireless connection (internet access not needed).

In addition, a Server has to be available on site.

Usually Accuware provides this server pre-configured. As an example, a server with 2 devices connected at the same time, in a venue of 10,000 sqm, would require a quad-core CPU like an i7-8th gen or better, 8 GB or RAM, 120 GB SSD.

ON BOARD PROCESSING

How does the On Board Processing work?

Requirements

Camera

A camera on board of the device

Computing Unit

A CPU on board of the device

Is there already a camera on board of the device (robot, drone, forklift, AGV...)?​

Make sure that:

  • The camera has a wide angle (130°-180°)
  • It can stream a VGA video (640×480) to the local on board Computing Unit.
 Then, contact us to get a step by step guide to get started.
