About this application

BeamControl for Smart Interface is an Android application built for smart factory and Industry 4.0 settings, where machines and production lines expose state over a network. It combines two roles: sending control input to connected equipment, and receiving notifications about what that equipment is doing, so an operator can act on a shop-floor event from a handheld device instead of a fixed terminal.

The context is industrial rather than consumer. Use assumes an existing installation with a compatible smart interface on the machine side; the app is the mobile front end to that setup, not a standalone system. That makes it relevant to integrators, maintenance staff, and plant engineers who already have the surrounding infrastructure in place.

The application runs on Android only. It is licensed GPL-3.0-only, a copyleft licence: derived work distributed to others must be released under the same terms, which matters when adapting the app for a specific plant and shipping it onward.
