Before some days I came to know very IoT specific use case. I collected some details from websites and tried to put important things together. The term "Industry 4.0" refers to the fourth industrial revolution. The first industrial revolution was the mechanization of production using water and steam power, it was followed by the second industrial revolution which introduced mass production with the help of electric power, followed by the digital revolution, the use of electronics and IT to further automate production.

Experiments with Two.js: Getting started

Image
Some basic experiments with two.js . Write in comments if getting stuck in running below example. Lets go step by step. 1. var type defines type of content delivered by the two.js drawing as per request / automatic detection using url.js javascript. var type = /(canvas|webgl)/.test(url.type) ? url.type : 'svg'; 2. Now, we are ready with content type. We can define two.js object using below code. var two = new Two({ type: Two.Types[type], fullscreen: true, autostart: true }).appendTo(document.body); This defines type of the drawing i.e. canvas/webgl. fullscreen behaviour, autostart options and many more things as described here . The last line "appendTo()" decides where our two.js drawing will be rendered. Here, we have taken webpage's body directly to render two.js drawing. <!DOCTYPE html> <html><head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="
