Real-Time Operating System: What it is and why you might want to use one
With the rapid growth of the IoT and the number of new devices being developed to take advantage of it, it’s becoming more and more likely that you will consider using an RTOS in the near future. The remainder of this article will explore the overall RTOS value proposition, both pros and cons, so you can consider whether an RTOS would be beneficial for your next product development project.
IoT Security in Depth: From the Device to the Cloud
By forging new links between the cyberworld and the physical world, IoT creates a paradigm shift that dramatically increases the scope of security. As organizations rush to adopt IoT, novel security challenges abound, amplified by an enormous diversity of hardware, software, services, and deployment locations. In fact, while 91 percent of IoT decision-makers report plans to increase the number of their connected devices by more than 15 percent within two years, they cite security as the greatest concern for deploying IoT technologies.
Threats to devices, applications, services, connections, and data must be addressed holistically across the IoT infrastructure to create a consistent security posture across IoT devices, the edge, the cloud, and the connections between all those elements.
THE CONNECTED FUTURE: PARTNERING FOR WHAT COMES NEXT
The idea of connecting devices and sensors over the cloud enables many new applications such as Industry 4.0, asset tracking, connected cars, telehealth and much more. Suddenly, many operational experts in vertical segments such as agriculture, the petroleum and oil industry, manufacturing, and more are becoming deeply involved in the Internet of Things. They are partnering with experts in IoT to provide complete solutions to their clients. The future is bright with more IoT applications, 5G network and Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) being developed. And this is just the beginning.
DIGI FIELD GUIDE: FIVE TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR IoT DESIGNS
This field guide provides an overview of five ways to improve the design of your wireless IoT product, get to market faster, and increase the reliability of your solution. While this document focuses on the unique challenges of cellular technology, the concepts apply to any wireless technology (e.g. LTE-M, NB-IoT, Bluetooth Mesh, or ZigBee, for example).
Increased Employee Safety: Smart Factory Solution
In a typical manufacturing/supplying product company, both management and working teams face many challenges, ranging from employee safety or security of the equipment, to minimizing the time spent on optimal use of storage space.
