Why IoT sits across disciplines
Solutions at the intersection of several directions, and the joint use of various hardware and software technologies, have the most success today. Nowhere is this clearer than in the development of IoT products, where separate directions such as real-time embedded, full stack, DevOps, cloud services and mobile applications are joined into one solution.
Here our company has an invaluable advantage, since real-time embedded is its hallmark, and we have developed our full-stack practice dynamically over the past few years. Ensuring the reliable operation of each component in its own area requires specific skills and specialist knowledge — to say nothing of the variety of skills needed to assemble a complex solution from those components successfully.
IoT Project Architecture Layers
We define five main layers, and focus our effort on each of them during the development of an IoT project.
- Device layer. Adding microcontrollers and firmware to core hardware such as sensors and actuators creates simple pluggable devices. With the addition of microprocessors and operating systems, those pluggable devices become smart devices.
- Data exchange layer. The ability to exchange data with the outside world through various networks and connection protocols — MQTT, OPC UA and others — gives devices the ability to communicate over the internet.
- Cloud service layer. Reception, analysis and interpretation of data at any volume. Cloud services let you integrate devices into systems so information can be processed and analysed; we use cloud solutions widely in our serverless work, and a broad range of plug-in cloud services to evaluate incoming information, which accelerates development and improves the quality of the analysis.
- Application layer. The interpretation of analysed information in a comprehensible form, together with visual and automatic control of technological processes and system settings through web and mobile interfaces. In practice we use schematic configuration without writing code, so users can change the logic and processes of the system flexibly.
- End-to-end security level. Securing an IoT solution is significant enough that it determines the quality of the foundation for every other development tool.
IoT Project Development Stages
It is essential to organise the development of an IoT solution properly, and we apply an approach built on many years of experience.
- Analysis and definition of the main properties and functions of the system
- Selection of components and suppliers according to the requirements and tasks defined at the analysis stage
- Conducting experiments with devices on physical media, to obtain the data needed to confirm the choice of devices and technologies
- Creation of a working prototype
- Testing in the real environment
- Demonstration of the results achieved, and agreement on them with the end customer
- Creation of project documentation, to prepare for mass production
