Overview of IoT Architecture
We put together a set of slides giving an overview of IoT system architecture. The approach outlined in these slides allows us to provide highly optimized, right-scale end to end IoT applications to our customers.
8 Attributes of a Full Stack IoT Company
Chances are, if you are in the business of technology, you have come across the term “Full Stack”. It started few years back with the notion of a (software) developer being able to program all layers for web applications – you can find a great description from 2012 here: What is a Full Stack developer?. The momentum,…
3 Benefits of Event (Alarm/Alert) Logging & Auditing
An integral offering of any IoT-driven monitoring solution is capturing, processingand generation alarm conditions to users. For example in case of Fleet Management, an alert could be a vehicle going over a speed limit, or in case of Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) it could be an alarm condition generated because of rise in the freezer…
Connectivity and Protocols in IoT: Thoughts on picking the right one
There’s lots of ways to move from Point A to Point B: trains, ships, and planes. We instinctively assess the logistics of travel by basing our decisions on factors like distance, cost, and urgency. If we have to ship goods, similar logic comes into play. It is cheaper to plan in advance if you are…
Integrating diverse devices and protocols – AgTech Use Case
The iMsight platform, along with its Dashboard application now supports 3 different soil sensor manufacturers each integrated with different connectivity and protocol mechanism: EnviroPro sensor has been integrated using an in-house prototype adapter that interfaces to the serial, wired SDI-12 protocol and converts it over Wi-Fi using a microcontroller. Data from each sensor is sent…
IoT: The Rise of Edge Computing
IoT applications are distributed across several elements – device/thing, gateways, cloud and smartphone-based apps. The edge (or also referred to as “Fog”) is gaining tremendous traction. It is gaining popularity and press, especially this year, thanks to several key events & initiatives: Microsoft used its key annual event – Microsoft Build – to announce a major…
Digital Agriculture: Soil Monitoring from Wired to Wireless, Edge to Cloud
Agriculture has been an early adopter of instrumentation and monitoring systems even before the term Internet of Things or IoT was coined. The reality is that the world of IoT can be divided into two distinct camps Brownfield: Scenarios where measuring, monitoring and control of physical things and devices has been done using instrumentation systems.…
4 ingredients to get started with LoRaWAN
Introduction LoRaWAN™ defines the communication protocol and system architecture for the network while the LoRa® physical layer enables the long-range communication link. The protocol and network architecture have the most influence in determining the battery lifetime of a node, the network capacity, the quality of service, the security, and the variety of applications served by…
