What if your operators could enter machine data on their phones and that data automatically appeared in a Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet? 

What if production or usage data from your spreadsheet was automatically updated in your supervisor's *groov* mobile operator interface?

Could be pretty handy, right?

Well, we've got a couple of code samples to show you how to make it happen.

In several previous posts we talked about some of the software technologies automation professionals should put on their radar in preparation for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications.

[JavaScript](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/server-side-javascript-for-the-iiot), [node.js](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/node.js-the-engine-of-iiot) and [Node-RED](https://blog.opto22.com/optoblog/digitally-wiring-the-iiot-with-node-red) offer a ton of benefits to those looking to build their IIoT application. Learn more about the Industrial Internet of Things in the [State of the IIoT white paper](https://info.opto22.com/state-of-the-iiot-white-paper-offer).

In a recent [developer survey](http://iot.ieee.org/images/files/pdf/iot-developer-survey-2016-report-final.pdf) conducted by the Eclipse IoT Working Group, IEEE IoT, and Agile IoT, 40.8% of respondents indicated that the IoT solutions they were either currently building or planning to build are IoT platforms or IoT middleware.

Almost every large IT or OT company today has some form of IoT platform or middleware.

In fact, right now there are over 150 self-described IoT platforms in the market today. Not neccessarily created equally.

This week Opto 22 is exhibiting at the [Open IoT Summit](http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/openiot-summit) in Portland, Oregon. The IoT Summit is a [Linux Foundation](https://www.linuxfoundation.org/) event, packed with a ton of technology workshops and product demos.

We also exhibited at the IoT Summit last year. It’s a great chance to connect with the Linux developer community and get their perspective on things, since it’s so much different from what a typical industrial automation professional is exposed to.

### New release adds Data Store device

With the new Data Store device in *groov* R3.3, you can put data into *groov* from anywhere—like a database, another device or system—and monitor or change it in your mobile operator interface. 

- For example, your company’s SQL database could place production or maintenance data into a *groov* Data Store for managers or technicians to see in their interface.

- Think about how much computers have changed in the last 30 years.
- Think about the quantity of data that enterprise data centers (EDCs) process today.
- And think about how facility management priorities have changed to meet rising energy costs.

Now imagine what needs to be done to update a 30-year-old EDC.

<http://www.opto22.com/players/w_player.aspx?vid=cshh5z6yyw&pid=gu987p3war>What does the new built-in [RESTful API in Opto 22 SNAP PAC](https://info.opto22.com/snap-pac-rest-api-thank-you) S-series and R-series programmable automation controllers mean to you?

It means you can use a variety of programming languages to easily access data in the PAC.
