Industrial IoT is a natural extension of historical process control systems that have dominated factory floors for decades. In recent years, the increase in sensors and devices to monitor machinery and outputs has meant manufacturers are now moving from monitoring individual things, to monitoring entire processes from one screen. The result is the invention of industrial IoT as a catch-all [...]
The Internet of Things (IoT) is the networking of physical devices, vehicles, buildings, and other items which have embedded software, sensors, and network connections that enable these items to collect and exchange data. With the explosion of connected devices, IoT is a hot topic and experiencing dramatic growth, driven by ever-increasing ways to leverage the data being generated. IoT platforms [...]
IoT is on the Rise… The Internet of Things (IoT) is a hot topic right now, experiencing dramatic growth, driven by the increased use of connected devices, or endpoints. These devices vary from sensors, actuators, and valves in factories, to home automation control systems (Nest, Apple HomeKit, Philips Hue), wearable fitness trackers (Fitbit, Garmin), smartphones, and even traffic and transport [...]
Our world is constantly growing and evolving. By 2050, the human population is predicted to jump up to a whopping 10.8 billion people, with 68% living in urban environments. Consequently, there is increasing pressure to invest in more sustainable ways of living, like developing smart cities, that harness the power of the cloud and edge computing. Artificial Intelligence (AI), the [...]
As manufacturers modernize their operations, it is crucial that they find new ways to address the unique and ever-present challenges of running at the edge. The rapid development of Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT), which requires high levels of reliability, performance, and cost efficiency, has led to edge computing in manufacturing growing in importance over the past [...]
Edge computing is one of the biggest IT trends of recent times. Companies of all sizes are focusing and investing heavily in it, as more data than ever is recorded and stored at an increasing number of locations and endpoints. But what exactly does “edge” mean, and what some typical use cases? It feels like the definition keeps on changing, [...]
The internet of things (IoT) – the interconnection of everyday devices via networks that facilitate interactions, including the exchange of data – is an ever-present force in the contemporary world. Whether in our personal or professional lives, we seem to always be “connected” to IoT endpoints. The growth of these types of network capacities comes with huge potentials, as well [...]
This week, the world celebrated the release of the Raspberry Pi 4: the miniature computer that is known for being a versatile tool of innovation. In appreciation, we’ve compiled three of our favorite uses of the Raspberry Pi: In California, Adarash Ambati realised that the average American household is wasting a whopping 25% of their total water usage on over-watering [...]
Even if you have rudimentary estimating capabilities and you spend a little time doing back of the napkin calculations, you'll quickly figure out that the notion that "all data is going to the cloud" is patently absurd. In the world of the industrial Internet of Things (IoT), data is collected "in the field." And in the field, especially in remote [...]
