Hardware Systems & Controllers

Explore physical IP-addressable LED controller boxes, WS2812B light bars, storage rack mapping, and physical QR code tag label printers.

Network Microcontroller Nodes

Modular IP-addressable ESP32 and Ethernet controller boxes connect directly to your local Wi-Fi or LAN. Each node drives addressable LED arrays across storage racks.

  • Standard IPv4 network address assignment
  • High-speed UDP & HTTP REST API light pulse triggering
  • Support for up to 256 individual LED bins per node

WS2812B / Neopixel LED Light Bars

Vibrant RGB LED strips placed above component drawers and shelf bins. Instantly light up specific locations in custom colors (Green, Blue, Yellow, Amber) during pick lists.

  • Visual location indicator pulses during assembly pulls
  • Configurable brightness, pulse duration, & LED colors
  • Low latency bin illumination in under 100 milliseconds

3/4" x 1.2" QR Code Tag Printer

Built-in physical label printer engine that outputs high-density 3/4" x 1.2" tags with crisp 0.5" x 0.5" QR codes for instant optical scanning and inventory checkouts.

  • Exact physical aspect ratio for thermal label printers
  • Embedded printing speeds, temps, & nozzle profiles
  • Direct integration with 3D print spools & resin bottles

Hardware System Connection Architecture

PartVault connects web software directly to physical hardware bins over local subnet connections. When a user requests a part, the database resolves the bin mapping and sends an IP packet to light up the physical LED indicator.
