The GE Predix stands for the General Electric Predix. GE Predix is a software platform that collects data from industrial instruments. It provides a cloud-based PaaS (platform as a service) that enables industry-level analysis for operations optimization and performance management. It connects data, individuals, and equipment in a standard way. GE Predix wasContinue Reading

Eclipse IoT The two technologies IoT and M2M (Machine to Machine) are becoming trendy in the IT industry. The ability to connect sensors, actuators, and a wide range of devices open up a great opportunity to create new types of solutions and applications in any industry. However, the current stateContinue Reading

The IoT is based on three main technologies: Hardware (includes chips and sensors) Communication (includes wireless network)   Software (includes data storage, analytics, front-end applications) The reason the Internet of Things is emerging so rapidly today is that significant technological advances have been made in the three technologies: Hardware: Sensor costs have decreased byContinue Reading

Our approach to the IoT architecture is reflected in the IoT architecture diagram that presents the diagram of an IoT system and explains how it is connected to store, collect, and process data. Sensing/Actuating: A “thing” is an object equipped with sensors that collect data. The data transferred through the networkContinue Reading

The following figure shows the seven-layer model of the IoT Ecosystem. The first layer represents the market or application domain that includes smart grid, connected home, smart health, or smart cities, etc. The second layer consists of sensors that allow the application to perform action. Examples of such sensors are temperature sensors, humidity sensors, electric meters,Continue Reading

There are the following components used in IoT: Devices and sensors Cloud Computing User interface Networking connection Gateway Devices and sensors Devices and sensors are the components of the connectivity layer. These smart sensors continuously collect data from the environment and transmit it to the next layer. For example, ourContinue Reading

1) MQTT MQTT stands for Message Queue Telemetry Transport. It was introduced by IBM in 1999 and standardized by OASIS in 2013. It is used for remote monitoring in IoT. Its main challenge is to collect statistics of many devices and the delivery of its infrastructure. MQTT connects devices and networks withContinue Reading

Network layer Encapsulation Protocols Network Layer Routing Protocols 1. Network layer Encapsulation Protocols a) 6LoWPAN 6LoWPAN stands for IPv6 Over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Network. It is mostly used standard in this category. It effectively encapsulates long IPv6 headers in small IEEE802.15.4 packets that cannot exceed 128 bytes. The specification supports addresses of differentContinue Reading

 Data Link Layer Protocols Bluetooth Low Energy Z-Wave ZigBee Smart Energy LoRaWAN WirelessHART LTE-A  1. Bluetooth Low Energy Bluetooth Low Energy or Bluetooth is a short-range communication protocol with the physical layer and medium access control layer. It is widely used in IoT enabled vehicles. Its low power consumption canContinue Reading

It is essential to know about the embedded devices while learning the IoT or building the projects on IoT. The embedded devices are the objects that build the unique computing system. These systems may or may not connect to the Internet. An embedded device system generally runs as a singleContinue Reading
