IoT Solutions | The Internet of Things (IoT) is already having a massive impact on business. It offers organizations the opportunity to transform how they operate, and gives both new entrants and established players the ability to innovate and disrupt.
The Internet of Things refers to machine-to-machine (M2M) technology enabled by secure network connectivity and cloud infrastructure, to reliably transform data into useful information for people, businesses, and institutions.
The ecosystem required to build an IoT solution can be complex. While the technologies involved are established, there’s still a lot of work to be done in agreeing and ratifying standards. They are seeing more “off the shelf” solutions and building blocks emerging, but a high degree of customization is common. Selecting the right providers, partners, and technologies is critical to achieving reliability, performance, coverage, and Interoperability. | | | Things are about to get real When data transits between networks you lose: visibility, reliability and security. To enable end-to-end control, Talia built a dedicated backbone for things. It connects mobile operators and enterprises directly to device management platforms in a single network hop. IoT Backbone Connect M2M or IoT Data Aggregation points to device management platforms in a single network hop. Talia's IoT backhaul solution is a hub and spoke configuration powered by our global IPX backbone. Security Talia owns their own global IPX network - completely separate from the public Internet - which gives them full control and visibility for the highest possible levels of security. • Security by design at the physical and logical levels • Own fiber network end-to-end • Dual highly secure underground NOCs • GSMA compliant for IPX security & DNS standards • 24/7 help desk with direct access to specialist security partners • Rigid personnel screening and Authentication processes • TSIC participates in the Telia Company Privacy policy • Prevent signaling storms and traffic burst Technical • Clear segmentation of data and signaling traffic to mitigate signaling storms • Support IPv4 & IPv6 • Own network end-to-end with low latency • Faster and easier to connect than layer-2 MPLS solutions • Automatic switchover with fully redundant red and blue networks | Vibration Sensors
With the proper sensor to supply critical operating information, a machine operates in a safer condition for both the machine as well as the personnel operating the machine.
Various machine operating conditions concerning temperature extremes, magnetic fields, vibration range, frequency range, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) conditions and the required signal quality necessitate the need for a variety of sensors.
Sensor Bearing Units
SKF sensor bearing units are used to monitor accurately the status of rotating or linear components and are: compact, robust and reliable, and simple and ready-to-mount.
Sensor-integrated solutions engineered by SKF have been well proven in a variety of industrial and automotive applications, such as electric motors, electric vehicles, road rollers, tractors, forklifts and conveyors.
Typical uses include: motor management, steering, speed and position sensing, and measurement of angular position.
Recent innovations from SKF now enable bearings to communicate their operating conditions in real time, with integrated intelligence including wireless sensors, data acquisition electronics and self-powered solutions.
This technology, called SKF Insight, enables operators to see how dynamic operating conditions are affecting bearing health and machine condition in real time. Operators can use this information to adjust operating conditions or make automated interventions, such as lubrication. This can help to prevent bearing damage before it occurs, effectively extending the life of the bearing. Ultimately, this means better maintenance planning and helps to avoid costly unplanned stoppages. | | The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly taking shape. Billions of smart devices, from cars and trucks to Containers and hospital beds, will create and share data. Data permission security becomes a major concern for enterprises.
The BlackBerry IoT Platform can provide the clients that control, providing a cloud-based solution that lets clients build and manage IoT applications and devices in a secure, efficient, and scalable way.
The BlackBerry IoT Platform provides a modular architecture to rapidly add BlackBerry and third-party services into your IoT applications and, once built, a backbone for these apps and devices to communicate privately. | Many areas of our lives have already been changed by the Internet of Things, and industry is no exception. By blending the real and the virtual worlds of production via the internet, the IoT makes it possible to connect all parts of the production process: machines, products, systems, and people. This means that machines and products can communicate so they can manage themselves and each other.
Software-based system and service platforms will play a major role in tomorrow’s manufacturing; they are the only way to bring connectivity, including data analysis, to machines and workpieces in production.
Bosch's software solutions for connected manufacturing and logistics gather, visualize, analyze, and monitor machine, process, and sensor data. They then translate this data into useful information that serves as a source for their rule- and process-based actions. The transparency this creates allows clients to determine precisely where to optimize production and logistics processes along the entire value chain. | The Internet of Things (IoT) will have a profound impact in the future. Enabling anything to be connected and providing ’smartness’ to these connected things will bring value across a number of sectors in the Networked Society.
Ericsson is engaged with a number of partners from industry and academia in an EU-funded research project called the IoT Initiative with the objective of increasing the benefits and possibilities of IoT, but also identifing and proposing ways to tackle the challenges.
The project analyzed about 150 application scenarios of strategic importance. A selected subset were tested in surveys which went out to a number of users and professionals within the ICT community. |
