How to choose an existing open source IoT IoT enablement platform

The Internet of Things has four layers of platforms: device connection platform, device management platform, application analysis platform, application development platform, and provides PaaS services. These are enabling platforms. The selection of an existing IOT enablement platform can be comprehensively considered based on the influence, successful cases, global versatility, continuous service provision capabilities, development level, and solution capabilities of the platform development vendors.

1. Provide unified terminal access

Through the enabling platform, a unified data access solution is provided for all IoT application terminals of different business types, which greatly reduces the terminal cost. Difficulty and cost of access. Terminal data access supports a variety of communication devices and communication protocols, and performs pre-processing such as identification, distribution, and alarm analysis of received data.

2. Provide a unified application basic operating platform

Compared with traditional application software applications, IoT application software has the characteristics of large number of underlying terminal types and complex industry applications. The number of terminals in various industries can often reach one million or higher through certain development, requiring the enabling platform to maintain a large amount of shared data and control data, and provide a unified operating environment for IoT applications, from concept, technology, Methods, mechanisms, and other aspects seamlessly integrate real-time processing and historical records of data, achieve high-time-efficiency scheduling and processing of data, and ensure data consistency, so as to support various applications that need to be presented by all connected terminals.

3. Provide unified security authentication

With user information and system permissions as the core, it integrates the authentication information of various business systems to provide a highly integrated and unified authentication platform.

4. Unified data management and data exchange

Massive data of different types and digital terminals can be centrally managed on the platform and provide unified data exchange functions, connecting various data through the platform Business-related heterogeneous systems, applications and data sources meet the needs of seamless data sharing and exchange between important systems. It completely solves the problem of information islands caused by different businesses, applications, and systems. The unity of the data platform makes big data analysis possible, allowing more applications to be realized due to the development of data.

5. Provide unified portal support

Provide a flexible and standardized information organization and management platform and a network-wide network collaboration environment to achieve integrated information collection, content management, information Search can directly organize all kinds of shared information and internal business basic information, target different users, realize personalized services through portal technology, and realize information integration and application.

6. Provide a variety of business basic components

Provide development assistance tools, rapid customization, geographic information services, rights management, data display and mining and other platforms for application businesses in various industries Support services. Through these basic components, the loose coupling of the system is realized, the flexibility and scalability of the system are improved, the rapid development is ensured, and the operation and maintenance costs are reduced.
