Information architecture for Intelligent Products in the Internet of Things

March 1, 2016

At least in the industrialized parts of our planet, most people have grown up with some vision of intelligent robots, buildings etc. in films such as Star Wars and Star Trek, as well as in a multitude of Science Fiction books. Despite the enthusiasm for such an imaginary world, our current world is still relatively far from that vision. The scientific domain called Ubiquitous Computing (alternatively, Pervasive Computing, Ambient Intelligence etc.) may be the one that most clearly envisages developing such environments. A new candidate concept, the Internet of Things, could expand the rather local view of Ubiquitous Computing in a way that would integrate backend systems of companies and other organizations with the more embedded processing model of Ubiquitous Computing. The resulting communication infrastructure could enable any computing device to communicate with any other computing device (not to forget the human users), no matter what is their physical size or computational capacity. In this paper, we present an information architecture that enables this vision.

INTERNET OF THINGS AND UEI DATA ACQUISITION & CONTROL SYSTEMS

whitePaper | February 5, 2020

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a networked system of interconnected physical objects that have the capability of sharing data with each other and also with a cloud service for archiving and analysis. With IoT, data producing devices can easily publish data, and multiple consumer clients can receive that data from any location in the world.

Empowering DSOs to secure the Smart Grid

whitePaper | February 6, 2020

As the world’s growing need for energy meets the power of the Internet of Things, the traditional energy marketplace is rapidly transforming. Millions of meters and energy assets are connected and digitized each year, providing enormous benefits to the entire ecosystem: real time tracking of energy production and consumption data, optimized load balancing systems, streamlined operations and billing systems to name a few. As connectivity expands and the landscape is digitalizing, new distributed energy resources (DERs) and stakeholders are able to integrate into and expand the grid. DERs offer non-carbon resources that improve the energy sector’s overall carbon footprint, a key benefit for everyone.

Best practices for cellular IoT development

whitePaper | March 28, 2022

This document introduces the main aspects and decisions you need to consider before and during your development phase of a low-power cellular Internet of Things (IoT) product. The sections are structured and ordered chronologically to follow a natural way of designing a cellular IoT device. The first sections cover the initial design decisions you might need to make to get the best possible baseline of your design. This includes overviews about the nRF9160 System in Package (SiP), modem radio, and radio technologies. The importance of network coverage and access is also discussed.

Smart solution for sustainable cities

whitePaper | January 8, 2020

The 19th century was a century of empires. The 20th century was a century of states. The 21st century will be a century of cities.” This quote by Wellington E. Webb, former mayor of the City of Denver, seems plausible when you look at the numbers: Although cities cover only a fraction of the Earth’s surface, they are already home to more than half of the world’s population.

Industry 4.0 in agriculture: Focus on IoT aspects

whitePaper | January 10, 2020

The Industry 4.0 trend is transforming the production capabilities of all industries, including the agricultural domain. Connectivity is the cornerstone of this transformation and IoT a key enabling technology that is increasingly part of agricultural equipment. From Industry 4.0 to Agriculture 4.0 The Industry 4.0 trend is seen as a transforming force that will deeply impact the industry. The trend is building on an array of digital technologies: Internet of Things, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and of digital practices: cooperation, mobility, open innovation.
