Komponenten eines IoT Service by Frank Berger https://padlet.com/frank_berger/9vt00pfs4b3u Quelle: Prof. Mischa Dohler en-us 2017-12-06 10:40:52 UTC 2023-05-03 17:06:07 UTC hello@padlet.com Connectivity frank_berger https://padlet.com/frank_berger/9vt00pfs4b3u/wish/144715346 Second, after you have chosen the sensor or actuator, you will need to connect it reliably to the Internet. Connecting all objects in the long-term future with cellular mobile phone technology is probably the best business proposition since it is a technology which ensures availability, reliability and viability … all ingredients which we need for a successful IoT uptake.

Low Power Wifi, a new system, is also a great contender since Wifi already enjoys global coverage today. Furthermore, an exciting class of Low Power Wide Area networking technologies is also emerging, diversifying the connectivity portfolio. On the other hand, whilst the initial technology of choice, known as Zigbee, is suitable for sporadic short-range connections, it is surprisingly unfit to meet the demands for a viable Internet of Things at global scale. So watch out when building a future-proof IoT business!

These could be sensors, actuators, robots, whatever can be connected. The most developed technology field here is pertaining to sensors. There are many different sensors available today. Whether you want to measure temperature, humidity, light, noise, pollution, pressure, torsion, tension, acceleration, position, images, magnetic fields, electric fields, etc, there is a large array of sensors to choose from. They used to be large, bulky and power hungry. Today they are invisible and energy efficient, whilst maintaining a high measurement precision. The technology field of actuators and robots, whether large or small, is still evolving. But even here, miniaturization is trending and hopefully the Internet of Things by 2020 will be a healthy mix of sensors measuring things and robots acting on the insights.]]> 2016-12-22 19:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/frank_berger/9vt00pfs4b3u/wish/144715856 Platform frank_berger https://padlet.com/frank_berger/9vt00pfs4b3u/wish/144716622 Third, the collected data needs to be stored and processed somewhere. Known as IoT platforms, these are typically cloud-based infrastructures which:
  1. receive and send data via standardised interfaces, known as API;
  2. store the data; and
  3. process the data.
Many commercial platforms are available today where I would recommend going for scalable cloud solutions in a software-as-a-service model. There is no need to have a fully-fledged backend when you only support 10 sensors at the beginning of your stellar IoT career, whilst you want to use the same platform to support millions of daily sensor readings some years after your IoT product has scaled massively.

Big data analytics tools are generally available today, which stretch from simple statistical tools to more sophisticated machine learning approaches, with deep learning being the latest trend. Think of statistical tools finding you the known knowns in the data; machine learning finding the known unknowns; whilst deep learning is able to find the unknown unknowns.]]> 2016-12-22 20:09:51 UTC https://padlet.com/frank_berger/9vt00pfs4b3u/wish/144716899 User Interface frank_berger https://padlet.com/frank_berger/9vt00pfs4b3u/wish/144716993 Finally, an important component is how the data is presented to the final users. Make sure your IoT product has a very appealing user interface, both web based as well as smart phone or tablet based. I found that it is often a very sexy front-end which convinces clients to buy into the IoT journey. Fortunately, there are many open-source as well as paying front-end products available today.]]> 2016-12-22 20:11:06 UTC https://padlet.com/frank_berger/9vt00pfs4b3u/wish/144716993 Komponenten eines IoT-Produktes aus Sicht von Prof. Mischa Dohler frank_berger https://padlet.com/frank_berger/9vt00pfs4b3u/wish/144717519 Mischa Dohler is a Professor in Wireless Communications at King’s College London, Head of the Centre for Telecommunications Research, co-founder and member of the Board of Directors of the smart city pioneer Worldsensing, Fellow and Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE, and Editor-in-Chief of the Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies and the Transactions on the Internet of Things.

With his company Worldsensing, Mischa pioneered a ‘smart parking’ solution called Fastprk. Fastprk is a smart city system helping drivers to find a parking spot more quickly and allows cities to manage their parking spaces more efficiently.
