• Low-power devices like BLE Beacons and LoRa Nodes/Gateways
• Sensoring
• Method of monitoring health of physical assets
• Monitoring temperature, motion, moisture, pressure, other conditions…
• Using sensors emitting data collected by gateways
• Data is near real-time available on central dashboard

18. Concepts behind
Internet of Things platform
• Cloud platform to connect the physical world to existing IT
• Connect all existing Devices & Sensors
• Each device/sensor identified by a device model in IoT Cloud
• Programmable devices can be directly connected using client libraries
• Sensors can be connected through programmable gateway
• Analyze streaming data in Real-Time
• Use raw-data streams as input for creating custom analytics
• Apply data analysis patterns e.g. Top/Bottom N, Up/Down Trend
• Route/Publish analyzed stream
• Integrate with enterprise applications or cloud services
19. Concepts – Device Models & Registration
• Device model first approach
• Device models define data and behaviors implemented by devices
• They are used to derive the analytics and integration strategy
• Data structure can contain more fields then sensor data
• Registration / Provisioning through Gateway device(s)
• Gateway device acts as central IoT hub
• Gateways are provisioned, indirectly connected devices are not
• Indirectly connected devices are registered by gateway on the fly
• IoT application attaches device models and monitor devices

23. Discover Beacons (ble) packets
• Making use of Estimote (sticker) beacons
• Small BLE devices that send nearable packets
• Includes temperature and motion sensor data for asset monitoring
• BLE packets picked up Edge Router / Gateway
• Raspberry PI (zero W or 3) or ESP32 can discover BLE packets
• Gateway runs NodeJS application using Bleacon module
• Bleacon is a module (uses Bleno), to decode BLE packets (i.e. iBeacon
and Nearable).
• Edge Router smoothens and send data to MQTT broker
24. Publish data to IoT Cloud
• Intermediate Gateway subscribes to MQTT broker
• Can run in the Cloud or on a small computer (RPI, Pine64)
• Runs NodeJS/RED application, subscribes to MQTT topic
• Gateway Node app interacts with IoT Cloud
• Activates / Connects gateway to IoT Cloud
• Based on device type, device model is downloaded and assigned
• Device is registered to IoT Cloud if unknown (new device after restart)
• Device data is transformed to model format
• Device data is send to IoT Cloud
Application

25. Publish data to IoT Cloud
MQTT Gateway subscribes to topic to publishes data to IoT Cloud
26. loRa to IoT ClouD integration
• Basically the same concept as for Beacons
• LoRa enabled Gateway is needed
• Make use of free (TTN) or commercial (KPN) LoRa netwerk
• Gateway Node app interacts with IoT Cloud
• Identically as for Beacons
• Bi-Directional communication
• Data smoothening

Hinweis der Redaktion
IoT closes the gap between information systems and the field. In the past field data was not integrated into the information system. Most often, field data were incorporated later, in “batch” mode or by manual entry, which made it impossible to use them in real time.
With the Internet of Things, data are integrated in real time - connected objects are immediately linked, in a ready-to-use state, to the company’s information system - which offers a host of new opportunities for companies, especially in terms of creating new services.
Incorporate new data sources with the existing enterprise data. Currently main weakness is a lack of integration between the various applications of the Internet of Things.
By connecting data from the Internet of Things to enterprise applications actions can be launched in real time
Add intelligence by integrating the analytical dimension and machine learning into devices. Technologies making it possible to analyze and manage data in streaming mode, that is, in real time, in order to draw useful knowledge for companies.
Under five billion connected objects were registered in 2010, while more than 50 billion are expected in 2020
Benefits all sectors, including health, agriculture, retail and industry
Improve efficiency
- Reduce time spent searching for, delivering, maintaining, and cleaning equipment through real-time status and location of equipment.
Reduce costs
- Increase equipment utilization and trace assets to prevent theft and abusive usage
Better decision making
- Forecasts future asset maintenance, prevent unnecessary purchases of new assets
Help prevent the spread of infection
- Provide location history that pinpoints equipment associated with an infectious patient.
Level 1: IoT “devices” – Analog to digital conversion, generating data, messages are queued (over-the-net).
Level 2: Communicating with and between Level 1 devices, Reliable delivery, switching/routing, various protocols & protocol translation, network security
Level 3: Data filtering, cleanup & aggregation, Packet inspection, data analytics, thresholding, event generation
Level 4: Convert data-in-motion to data-at-rest, convert device data structure to storage data structure, reduce data through filtering
Level 5: Create application schemas and views of data, combine multiple sources, filtering/selecting/projecting/reformatting data, reconciles differences (shape, format….)

- Status (from the device provider)
Device Interactions- Discovery- Addressing- Protocol conversion
Middleware- Listeners (Zigbee), brokers (MQTT)- Event grouping / batch interactions
Data- Normalize (standardize codes for the app)- Filter (against pre-set criteria from the app)- Expand (decode/expand cryptic codes)- Aggregate (generate statistics)- Notify/alert (to the app)
Combine the functions above- Schedule (when to comm with the device)- BPM (when multiple steps are needed)
