MOVING PRODUCTION INTO THE IOT

WHAT IS THIS ABOUT

Moving production into the IoT (Internet of Things) sphere refers to a company shifting its manufacturing processes and products to incorporate IoT technology. This typically involves integrating sensors, connectivity, and data analysis capabilities into their products. By doing so, the company can enhance functionality, enable remote monitoring and control, gather valuable insights, and potentially offer new services to customers. However, it also requires expertise in IoT development, data management, and cybersecurity to ensure the success and security of the IoT-enabled products.

  1. Add sensors: The first step is to add sensors to your product to gather data. These sensors could measure things like temperature, humidity, pressure, motion, or location.
  2. Connect to the internet: Once you have added sensors, you need to connect your product to the internet. This can be done through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular connectivity.
  3. Develop software: You will need to develop software to process the data gathered by the sensors and transmit it over the internet. You will also need to develop software to control your product remotely.
  4. Use cloud services: Cloud services can be used to store and process the data gathered by your product. Cloud services can also be used to develop and deploy software updates.
  5. Security: Security is critical when it comes to IoT devices. You will need to ensure that your product is secure from cyber-attacks and data breaches.
  6. Integration: Finally, you will need to integrate your product with other IoT devices and platforms to create a connected ecosystem. This could involve integrating with other smart home devices or with industry-specific platforms.

By following these steps, you can turn your product into an IoT device that can gather data, communicate with other devices, and be controlled remotely.

What We Offer

PRODUCTS INTEGRATION

To turn a product into the IoT world, you need to add connectivity and intelligence to it.   Add sensors that could measure things connected to internet. Develop software to process the data gathered by the sensors  to control your product remotely. Use cloud services to store and process the data. Integrate your product with other IoT devices and platforms to create a connected ecosystem. This could involve

CLOUD DASHBOARDS

An IoT dashboard is a data visualization tool that transforms, displays, and organizes a collection of data captured and transmitted by network connected devices. It enables users to monitor and interact with connected devices through graphs, charts and other tools and UI elements.

Some of the things IoT dashboards can do for you include dispatching commands, running over-the-air software updates, analyzing device data, and setting up smart alerts

MULTI TENANCY CLOUD PLATFORMS

The IoT platform supports multiple tenants or customers on a single instance of the platform. Multi-tenancy provides users with the ability to manage a network of separate entities on one platform.

A tenant is  a user or group of users who share common access. All data related to a tenant is stored in a dedicated database. This includes user data, inventory, events, measurements, operations and alarms.
