Yay! We haz clowd cntrol of we IOT!!
"Tend, a Boston-based startup, introduced its hardware-agnostic smart cloud robotics software that allows manufacturers to remotely control, monitor and analyze the performance of any robot from mobile devices. The software, called Tend in.control (intelligent control), allows users to securely interact with robots tending to production lines using a simple mobile interface. Dashboards provide a real-time view into the status of machines and specific jobs. And, if you need to stop or start a robot, that can be done remotely from any location via the smartphone."
Since smartphone interfaces are *intrinsically secure* (TM!!) then shirley nothing can go wrong with controlling your industrial IOT from your effing Android, right? Oh, wait, the ad-blurb has the magic keyword "securely" in it, so that's all right then.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
