Play IoTetris at IoT Stars

Meet the IoT Stars community at MWC and Embedded World, and find the partners to build your next IoT Stack.

From low power MCUs, radio modules and (e-)SIMs, to real-time operating systems, security mechanism and FOTA. From Radio technologies, wireless protocols and data standards to core networks, roaming agreements and cloud integrators.

IoT is complex. There are so many different elements that make up an IoT solution. Even though most of the pioneering is done, selecting the right building blocks and integrating them seamlessly is challenging - if not impossible - to realize by yourself. Becoming successful in IoT means finding the right partners. Knowing which suppliers to work with allows you to focus on the real value of IoT without getting lost in the labyrinth of wireless standards, security layers and device management protocols.

Get ready for MWC and Embedded World

Two big connectivity conferences coming up: Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, and Embedded World in Nuremberg. These events present the ideal opportunity to find the partners for your next IoT solution.

To prepare yourself for the upcoming events, a tool was designed to support you in designing your IoT Stack while finding the right partners that can provide you with the missing building blocks.

IoT Stars presents IoTetris, the tool to build your next IoT solution.

Have fun and build your own IoT stack with IoTetris!

What to expect at IoT Stars

Four main topics will be discussed during the IoT Stars events.

Private / hybrid IoT networks

Cellular networks are becoming ever-cheaper and easier to build and manage. New shared or unlicensed radio bands (see for example CBRS) are removing the obstacles for running your own network. As a result, private LTE and 5G network are becoming a competitor to WiFi systems, as well to LoRa(WAN) networks.

Multitech offers reliable hardware to build private LoRaWAN or LTE networks. During IoT Stars, they will share their experiences with realizing private networks. In addition, RAK Wireless will be presenting their latest 5G small cell. These hardware components work well with Monogoto’s cellular core which processes cellular data and routes it to the right endpoints.

Abundant Cellular Connectivity

The number of connectivity providers are hitting an all-time-high. More virtual network operators (MVNOs) are entering the market as the demand for cellular connections keeps growing. MVNOs are doing the best they can to simplify the use of cellular communication and management of IoT devices in volume. At IoT Stars, meet the digital operators Iotcreators, SORACOM and Monogoto to find out about their unique perspective on the IoT market.

IoT Lifecycle Management

As the IoT market matures, more attention is being paid to lifecycle management. This includes management of device fleets, remote configuration of devices as well as over-the-air firmware update mechanisms. New partners have entered the scene including Blues Wireless which recently released their out of bound FOTA capabilities, and AVSystem which goes all-in on the novel LwM2M standard.

Simplifying Hardware Development

One of the biggest challenges in today’s IoT market, is finding the embedded developers capable of building the billions of expected devices. The number of embedded developers around the world is limited, and hardware development is complicated and time-consuming.

IoT suppliers are taking their responsibility to counter this challenge. Ignion enables people to integrate antennas without the need for expert RF skills. Zephyr is abstracting away much of the complexities of embedded programming. And Kallipr is providing off-the-shelf hardware products, ready to be implemented at scale.

Fieldintell Makes Industrial Equipment Monitoring Simple

FieldIntell’s original hardware provider failed to continuously upgrade its products and continued to offer a solution that was not compatible with some of their new customer requirements. The team had to decide whether to find a new vendor or build a full-stack IoT platform themselves.

The Company: FieldIntell

FieldIntell is an end-to-end cloud platform for managing and optimizing logistics and highly distributed-asset ecosystems. FieldIntell’s platform makes it easy for companies in the oil & gas, mining, and agriculture industries to connect, collect, and control information from their remote equipment and assets at any time and from any location. FieldIntell’s smart mesh of IoT-enabled devices works in concert to upstream critical edge-data directly to the cloud. Customers have the option to channel IoT metrics directly to their own data centers or use FieldIntell’s SaaS cloud solution.

“We’re relying on Particle as part of our future. We can expect them to keep us up to date with the latest developments in hardware and communications.” Arturo Gomez, President & CEO @FieldIntell

Problem

A Hardware Vendor That Failed To Innovate FieldIntell initially developed its connected solutions with modems from a hardware-only vendor. FieldIntell was at a crossroads because the vendor hadn’t updated its hardware in years, so it was becoming obsolete.

FieldIntell serves customers in the oil and gas, mining, and agriculture industries. They needed to be able to ensure stable connectivity of remote assets, push updates over the air, and enable remote control of complex assets. The current solution wouldn’t allow FieldIntell to keep up with the demands of customers in these industries.

How To Run An Effective And Successful In-House Maintenance System

The digital collection of maintenance data — a huge volume of data — is, along with advanced analytic capabilities, the basis for establishing a successful predictive maintenance system. Big Data, coming from IIoT devices and into CMMS software, is changing the way we do industrial maintenance.

Getting maintenance right is a tough challenge for any business, regardless of industry or size. It’s clearly important to do so since there are multiple benefits to having a good maintenance regime. Better asset retention and fewer machinery and process breakdowns help improve productivity, worker safety, and — of course — the financial bottom line.

Predictive maintenance (PdM) is the quintessential proactive maintenance regime for the modern facility. It is (or at least should be) the polar opposite of reactive maintenance — maintenance that, as its name denotes, only kicks in when things break down.

Predictive maintenance has been defined as maintenance that uses data science, invariably based on artificial intelligence (AI), to provide analytics that can estimate or predict when machinery or equipment may fail. This enables maintenance measures to be taken prior to point of failure.

Predictive maintenance achieves this by using an underlying architecture that comprises data sets of considerable size, including their acquisition, storage, and transformation. Condition monitoring, evaluations of asset health, and prognostics are other important facets of the predictive maintenance model.
