IoTConnect is a full-fledged platform as a Service (PaaS). This horizontal IoT platform allows for device communication and management, data storage, app creation as well as enablement and robust security protocols.
Below are the components of the IoTConnect architecture.
Architecture components
The IoTConnect architecture consists of different components explained below:
Compute
Run code on-demand without having to explicitly provision or manage infrastructure. Create powerful cloud apps for web and mobile and get real-time analytics and insights from apps, sensors and other devices.
Storage
Get globally distributed database storage that allows you to store both structured and unstructured data like text, audio files, videos and many other types of data.
Integration tools
Get reliable and secure bidirectional communications between millions of IoT devices and a solution back end, broadcast tailored notifications, push events to process voluminous data in real-time and implement scalable integrations and workflows in the cloud.
AI and visualizations
Apply modern AI techniques to identify hidden patterns in your data and get efficient visualization of the data.
Benefits of IoTConnect
IoTConnect allows businesses to streamline and synchronize their connected devices to generate the insights a business needs to get the desired output.
Parallel device management
Numerous devices are layered onto the enterprise technology infrastructure. Hence, businesses are looking for flexible, horizontal device management systems that can seamlessly on-board and off-board devices. Our uniquely designed IoT platform organizes and unifies disparate machine-to-machine communication processes and their virtually limitless end-points.
Maximize data management
IoTConnect provides a matrix of devices, sensors, gateways, actuators and other modules. These devices collect different types of data at various intervals which is then monitored, filtered and processed in real-time to provide you with actionable insights.
Multitenancy
IoTConnect supports architecture that provides multiple user groups (tenants) to share one or more applications or services. To support the logical separation of tenant-sharing applications or services, they must operate within different instances and contexts.
Enhanced security
To ward off unauthorized access from any device, organizations need to embed IoT security at every level. IoTConnect adds the highest levels of encryption in data transmission and ensures the authenticity of each device and gateway explicitly.
Scalability
As organizations look for an enterprise ready IoT platform that can scale to meet the pace and magnitude of this growth, IoTConnect is developed to handle the increasing number of varieties of connected devices and to allow businesses to generate new revenue streams.
Device types support
There are a huge number of different hardware types, firmware versions, revisions and other variations of devices available in the IoT market. It is difficult to ensure plug and play compatibility with every device available in the market. However, with IoTConnect you can make most of the devices compatible with your system using gateways and routers.
Some of the popular devices available in the market are mentioned here:
| Libelium | Meshilium | Raspberry Pi | Adeunis LoRaWAN Demonstrator | BeagleBone Black |
| Cinterion | CloudGate | NetComm | HW Group | INSYS |
| Janz Tec emPC-A/RPI | Mbed u-blox C027 | Meitrack | Owa3x | Queclink |
| Robustel | SIGFOX | SMARTbox | SMARTbox – Modbus | Stratus Connect |
| TC3G | Telic | TinkerForge | Tixi | Dell Edge Gateway |
IoT Solutions
With IoTConnect, you don’t have to create many IoT solutions from scratch as it offers different tools required for an effective deployment of IoT ecosystem – from remote device management to analytics. It also allows you to connect your existing enterprise system for processing, so that you can generate intelligence out of it. The solutions we offer are as below:
Smart Factory
Our Smart Factory solution helps you to keep track of production on your factory floor(s) and measure production performance. We make it possible for you to collate and analyze data across machines to make your processes faster and more efficient.
Smart Asset Monitoring
Smart Asset Monitoring solution helps you to make the most out of your aging assets and reduce asset lifecycle costs. This also helps you in monitoring your virtual assets such as data from various business systems. The predictive analytics capabilities result in reduced technology costs and improved efficiency of your business processes.
Smart Connected Worker
Connected Worker solution helps you to improve worker safety in manufacturing plants, refineries, mining operations, power generation facilities and all kinds of industrial sites through the use of intelligent sensors, safety vests and specialized wearables.
Smart Warehouse
Smart Warehouse is a solution that introduces IoT in warehouse management, bringing the ability to locate and communicate with the inventory products in a precise manner. The way companies manage and distribute orders is going to turnaround with the solution that records product information and shares it with the users to help them streamline the entire inventory process.
Smart Facility
Smart Facility solution helps you collect data from every area of operations – from lighting levels, HVAC, signage, to fire arrangements in your facility network regardless of manufacturer, and get the visibility you need on humidity, temperature, pressure, airflow, fluid or water leaks, smoke, and much more. The solution helps you to improve occupant experiences, reduce operational costs, and enhance preventive maintenance planning using real-time and historic data with AI capabilities.
Smart Office
Meetings are an integral part of business, but what isn’t necessary is the amount of time wasted in arranging them. Smart Office solution powered by Bluetooth-based beacons and sensor technology makes it really simple, fast, and convenient to find and book a meeting room by simply entering the room with a smartphone.
Smart Healthcare
Smart Healthcare solution not only improves patient care but also provides caretakers with insightful medical data for continuous monitoring of patient status. The incorporation of AI in our Smart Healthcare solution helps hospitals in processing big data, analyzing medical records, and enhancing patient treatment. Automated algorithms to make data processing are very useful in streamlining clinical trials and decision-making processes.
Smart Fleet Management
Smart Fleet solution can help you connect all your vehicles to a central monitoring system. This solution includes vehicle tracking devices that collect the data and transmit it to the cloud. The end result – you can monitor all aspects of your fleet from the device of your choice.
