The advent of connected intelligent devices has opened up
a plethora of possibilities.
Let us now explore what a typical IoT solution would constitute of?
- Sensing –
- What are the relevant data to be accessed and controlled for deriving actionable intelligence?
- What are the sensors and actuators needed?
- How are the sensors and actuators interfaced?
- Processing –
- What is the signal and data processing required for aggregating and making sense of the collected data?
- How is the data processed to drive the actuators?
- Communicating –
- What is the communication medium used by sensors and actuators in reaching the data to the nearest aggregator?
- How are the wired and wireless communication interfaces integrated?
- How is the data securely sent and received?
- Data aggregation –
- How is the raw or processed data collected from several devices aggregated and processed to derive intelligence for initiating alerts and proximity actions?
- Communicating –
- How is the raw and processed data published?
- How is the intelligence derived through data analytics centres over secure IP broadband wired and wireless networks?
- Data Analysis and Distribution –
- How is the sensors and gateways distribute both raw and processed data to whoever has subscribed for receiving these inputs?
- How are alerts and actions initaited based on the intelligence derived by big data analysis?
- Secure Data –
- What are the security concerns?
- How is the need for secure data communication across all sensing, processing and communicating device addressed?
- An integrated smart solution -
- What are the the primary drivers for analysing data is to build value?
- What are the possible reactive, preventive, predictive and prescriptive action based on data trends?
So in a nut shell a smart solution senses, processes,
aggregates, communicates, analyses and acts. The key result expected from the
system is driven by the application domain. That is define what is the
smartness in a smart solution.
Traversing the journey from Problem to Solution – the typical stages are:
- Understand the problem – An elaborate enquiry process.
- Understand the available tools, technologies and platforms – What do they provide? Is there a need for new technology development?
- Choose the appropriate tools, technologies and platforms - What drives the technology choices?
- Building the integrated solutions - How to build and deploy solutions to end-user problems integrating available tools, technologies and platforms?
