There are many standards, consortiums and alliances concerning Internet of Things and the number will grow. Here is stated the most complete list on March 2016. In my opinion, the most promising standard for Industrial Internet of Thing is DDS and most promising consortiums are Industrial Internet Consortium and Open Fog Consortium.

WiFi and ZigBee have limited range, and cellular can be too expensive and power hungry. So numerous alternatives for Low Power Wide Area Networking (LPWAN) have arisen to serve the needs of the Internet of Things (IoT). These alternatives include especially LoRaWAN, Sigfox a Weightless.

I find out about Pycom company, which created LoPy, from a Kickstarter campaign. This company had had an experience with the first generation of WiPy at that time already. And because at that time I was (and I still am) very interested about everything about IoT, I could not resist the temptation to try something new,…
Industrial Internet Consortium released the blueprint of Industrial Internet Refrence Architecture – IIRA in June 2015. Industrial Internet Reference Architecture is an open, standards-based architecture suitable for Industrial Internet of Things. Industrial Internet Systems (IIS) based on IIRA will allow communication between things (sensors, systems, and applications) and will also utilize advanced analytics. On top of…
We can see a growth in numbers of IoT platforms. It does exist hundreds of IoT platforms (about 400 according to iot-analytics in Q1 2017). Among platforms, which provide the most comprehensive services belongs platform Watson IoT from IBM, platform ThingWorx from PTC, platform Azure IoT from Microsoft, platform AWS IoT from Amazon and platform Predix from GE. Among the main watched categories of IoT platforms belong…
In the second part of the series, we will focus on the assembly of all components. There are not many parts to assembly, and the assembly itself is easy. We just need to pay attention to a few things. The following guide was inspired from the Pycom documentation and, if necessary, it is possible to…
The Data Distribution Service (DDS™) is a middleware protocol and API standard for data-centric connectivity from the Object Management Group® (OMG®). It integrates the components of a system together, providing low-latency data connectivity, extreme reliability, and a scalable architecture that business and mission-critical Internet of Things (IoT) applications need.
