SORACOM Inc. is pleased to announce that SORACOM Flux, which allows developers to develop IoT applications for notifications, detection, and automatic control using data from IoT devices such as sensors and cameras as input, now supports mathematical functions that can be used to analyze the rate of change in sensor data and control robots.
SORACOM Flux is an IoT application builder aimed at automating IoT systems. It allows you to build IoT applications such as detection and control systems that use IoT data from sensors and cameras as input, combined with analysis by notification systems and generative AI models. Since IoT applications can be quickly built using browser operations even without software development expertise, it has begun to be used in a variety of industries for on-site digitalization purposes.
In IoT systems, mathematical functions such as trigonometric functions and logarithmic functions are used in calculations such as measuring location information, geofencing, vibration analysis, sound wave and radio wave analysis, and angle control of robot arms. Now, mathematical functions can be used in the execution conditions of SORACOM Flux actions and in some input fields. Using trigonometric functions and logarithms, you can perform more complex mathematical processing.

In addition, we have published a procedure manual for developing an IoT system using this function, “SORACOM IoT Recipe / Notifying users of heatstroke risk in multiple languages with IoT.” This explains the development procedure for a system that uses SORACOM Flux to calculate the heat index (WBGT), dryness index, and discomfort index (DI) from temperature and humidity values obtained from a temperature and humidity sensor, and generates warning announcements in multiple languages using AI and notifies users via chat. The SORACOM IoT Recipe clearly describes the devices required for each purpose, the costs involved, how to set up the cloud and communications, and the development procedure for each step, making it useful for self-learning IoT application development.
