Practical IoT Data Processing & Management for Businesses

Practical IoT Data Processing
IoT has undeniably become the massive growth propellant for modern-day business. Enterprises employ intelligent systems to improve production in factories, and reduce costs, build industrial automation systems to replace human assignments, monitor and reduce energy; and develop autonomous transportation to enhance driver safety.

Inside these embedded systems are sensors that rapidly transmit data that must be immediately captured, processed, and acted upon.

Traditional embedded database solutions don't understand and meet the complex needs of IoT devices when it comes to processing and managing data. IoT edge database solutions that can understand the constant data stream from sensors enable devices to make crucial decisions in milliseconds.


Real-time Edge Data Processing

Enterprisers and business owners prefer scalable edge data management solutions to deploy hundreds of IoT devices so that each device can manage, collect, and analyze the massive amounts of data these IoT sensors produce without losing performance.

These devices must capture and store critical information so that the IoT node can make independent decisions and trigger appropriate reactions.

Database queries allow device apps to get the information they need to make intelligent decisions in real-time, quickly and without wasting time. To be successful in the IoT, you need the right data management software and the ability to quickly collect and connect device data rapidly to get low latency.


IoT Data Processing and Management

Standard data management solutions do not fully address the complexity of architecting software for IoT data processing. Despite being the primary data source, sensors are often constrained by their limitations and fail to provide sophisticated analysis.

The focus of IoT data analysis and management is to harvest real-time information and make sense of it quickly.

A good solution uses technologies that many developers are already familiar with, like SQL, to solve the new problem of analyzing IoT sensors directly on edge devices.


Conclusion

While building a device application, at every stage, developers must make tough calls to select the best data management and database software to launch their edge-centric IoT systems. Such costly decisions consume significant development and validation time as well.

Using existing IoT data management platforms is a better way to deal with scaling, security, and the weight of data. Businesses can set up, connect, and grow their IoT infrastructure with these platforms. Organizations don't have to build their own IoT infrastructure from scratch. Instead, they can use IoT platforms that give them access to IoT devices, cloud infrastructure, and networks worldwide. Small and medium-sized businesses may find this method saves money.

The IoT Smarthome Battlefield: A Jointly Endorsed IoT Standard for the Home Area Network

Article | June 28, 2022

Google announced that together with Amazon and Apple (the big 3 smart home players) they will work on the adoption of a joint wireless IoT standard for the smart home. This new connectivity standard is designed to make it easier for smart home products to work with each other.In the statement, Google said they were “joining Amazon, Apple and others to create Connected Home over IP, a new independent working group managed by the Zigbee Alliance (separate from the existing Zigbee 3.0/Pro protocol). We’re contributing two of our market-tested and open-source smart home technologies, Weave and Thread. Both are built on IP and have been integrated into millions of homes around the world.”

Who should lead the push for IoT security?

Article | February 10, 2020

The ease with which internet of things devices can be compromised, coupled with the potentially extreme consequences of breaches, have prompted action from legislatures and regulators, but what group is best to decide? Both the makers of IoT devices and governments are aware of the security issues, but so far they haven’t come up with standardized ways to address them. The challenge of this market is that it’s moving so fast that no regulation is going to be able to keep pace with the devices that are being connected,” said Forrester vice president and research director Merritt Maxim. “Regulations that are definitive are easy to enforce and helpful, but they’ll quickly become outdated.”The latest such effort by a governmental body is a proposed regulation in the U.K. that would impose three major mandates on IoT device manufacturers that would address key security concerns.
