Does your IoT system need a kill switch?
Automation and autonomy are exciting prospects in all sorts of applications, but we do need to be careful about maintaining control when things go wrong. Autonomous cars, drones, and boats are somewhat obvious places where we need to be able to override operations, but your application may warrant a kill switch as well. Be careful to make it sufficiently secure so that nobody can use it against you!
IoT and low power unite to benefit utility companies
Improvements and cost reductions in radio technology are opening all sorts of opportunities to add connectivity to far-flung operations, such as pipelines and other infrastructure networks. Low-cost, low-power protocols such as narrowband IoT (NB-IoT), coupled with careful power management engineering to maximize battery life, give us exciting new options for connectivity and “smart” systems.
Checklist: 11 steps to designing a successful IoT system
Global spending on IoT is expected to reach $745 billion in 2019, proving that all sectors are investing in IoT technology. The industries leading the way in this spend are probably no surprise—manufacturing, transportation, utilities, and the consumer sector.
5 things you need to know about Industrial IoT and smart manufacturing
A recent report from International Data Corporation (IDC) estimates that IoT spending will reach $772.5 billion this year. The manufacturing industry is expected to lead this IoT investment, with estimated expenditures hitting $189 billion.
Internet of Things (IoT) medical devices are the future of healthcare
The global IoT healthcare market is expected to have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 11% between 2017 and 2022. Growth is driven by the increasing use of Internet of Things medical and healthcare devices to remotely monitor patient health.
IoT connectivity and embedded sensors are the driving forces behind the demand for these devices, as they are responsible for gathering the data and transmitting it to other sources for remote monitoring.
The three things you need to know about your preventative maintenance data
Preventative maintenance (PM) is one of the main reasons that companies are turning to Internet of Things (IoT) technology. It can help optimize asset performance, decrease operating costs, and even extend the life of the physical asset. All these things add up to enormous savings and increased ROI. It’s no wonder companies are adding sensors and data collection devices throughout their systems to actualize the benefits of PM.
One of the top Internet of Things engineering firms talks about the future of IoT
We at Software Design Solutions believe that the so-called “Internet of Things” has only just begun to warp the fabric of our society. We’re not necessarily talking about consumer goods such as wearables and home automation devices, though the way the Internet of Things is altering our homes and daily lives is profound. We’re talking about business and industry. We’re talking about the increased efficiency in virtually every industrial and commercial process.
The educational challenge facing embedded systems development graduates and their employers
Embedded systems development is an exciting field that has become, in a few short decades, a cornerstone of the way we interact with technology. Unfortunately, our education system is not training new engineers who are effective in it. This is a major problem for our industry.
Jump into the Internet of Things: An introduction to Raspberry Pi uses
The Raspberry Pi, which began as a DIY hobbyist platform, is shaking up the Internet of Things. If you have heard of the Raspberry Pi, you already know that it is basically a tiny, incredibly cheap personal computer that skilled developers can use to handle a number of tasks in an economic fashion. This technology has proven to be incredibly useful for IoT developers in particular. You can expect to see a variety of Raspberry Pi uses as more developers begin experimenting with this innovative piece of equipment.
Designing for the Internet of Things: How the IoT is becoming more human
As futurists continue designing for the Internet of Things, it is possible that the devices around us may start monitoring and responding to our moods, as well as our actions. In fact, this has already begun. As the Internet of Things becomes emotional, business...
Business considerations for IoT application development
The Internet of Things (IoT) has been labeled the next Industrial Revolution, and for good reason. It will continue to transform the world. At its core, IoT is a network of devices that are all connected to the Internet, gathering and exchanging data between each...
