Reinvent IoT Cloud Architecture

The below image shows our four-stage architecture of the IoT system.

  • In the first stage, data is collected and converted into useful data.
  • In the second stage, data is converted from an analog form to the digital form.
  • In the third stage, Edge IT system performs more analysis of data.
  • In the fourth stage, the data which requires more processing and doesn’t need immediate processing will be passed on to the data center or cloud-based systems.

 

 

Examples of IoT (Internet of Things)

  • Smart home systems are examples of an IoT application. Amazon Echo is the most popular one.
  • Smartwatches which allow text messages and phone calls are also an example of IoT applications.
  • Fitbit is also an example of IoT devices.

 

Types of Internet of Things Platforms:

  • End to end
  • Connectivity
  • Cloud
  • Data


Some Facts About These Platforms

  • The primary function of the IoT platform is to act as middleware or as plumbing to connect devices or applications to another end. IoT contains a mixture of functions like Sensors & controllers, a gateway device, communication network, data analyzing & translating software, and end application service.
  • IoT cloud platform can handle huge data volume from devices, customers, applications, websites, and sensors and take actions to give a real-time response.
  • How to select the best Internet of Things platform depends on the requirements of a company for hardware, real-time access, custom reports, budget, development skills, and the business model.
