Could intelligent connectors usher in the IoT revolution?
Smart, connected devices have the capability to make our lives easier, greener and safer by creating networks of devices that collect and share data in factories, at home or on the road. The futuristic concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) is one in which a network of automated machines, devices and sensors create a digital ‘nervous system’ with which they self-monitor, analyse the aggregated data and then ‘learn’ o...
The best advice for making blockbuster IoT devices
Device manufacturers wanting market share of the booming Internet of Things (IoT) world have massive uphill challenges in designing, developing and deploying their IoT applications, all while trying to source, integrate, and manage the infrastructure needed behind the scenes to make the applications work.
With stationless rental bicycles IoT has conquered our streets
Dockless shared bikes have become a growing phenomenon in major cities across the planet. Subscribers to their services can use their smartphone to unlock a nearby bike, ride it to their destination, and then just leave it there. Not only are dockless shared bikes affordable and convenient for their users, they’ve also been great business.
Secure remote access solution for easy connection to IoT devices
To better serve the needs of OEMs and machine builders, Moxa has launched a new Remote Connect Suite that provides an easier and more secure way to connect to remote machines and equipment for the performance of critical troubleshooting, maintenance, data acquisition, and device management, resulting in faster and smarter support.
Otii: the energy optimisation solution for IoT
Qoitech AB has announced the release of version 2.0.0 of the Otii multi-platform desktop software environment that supports the Otii Arc, the innovative energy consumption analysis hardware for developers. Together, Otii's hardware and software helps engineers maximise battery life and minimise power consumption in fixed, portable and connected devices targeting the IoT.
Communication between factory floor networks and IT-systems
A new range of Anybus .NET Bridges for PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherCAT and EtherNet/IP has been introduced by HMS Industrial Networks. Bridging the gap between Operational Technology (OT) and IT, the .NET bridge family enables data from industrial machinery to be presented to .NET-based IT applications. The result is that .NET programmers can build a PC program which exchanges live data with a PLC system — for statistics, analysis or maintenan...
Report finds IoT devices on enterprise networks could be at risk
A security firm has announced the findings of its Internet of Things (IoT) report, which found that an increase in personal IoT devices, such as fitness trackers and virtual assistants, are being connected to corporate networks and putting companies at risk from cyber attack.
Adding security to IoT endpoints shouldn’t be an option
Secrets have a way of leaking out and invariably people are the cause. In the IoT, it isn’t the things that will be the main cause of cybercrime, but the people exploiting the weak security provided by those things. The list of examples illustrating this very real threat gets longer every day. Guest blog written by Mark Patrick, Mouser Electronics.
Partnership provides access to future IoT opportunities
ADLINK Technology is teaming with Lenovo to expand ADLINK’s reach into the IoT marketplace while enhancing Lenovo’s integrated hardware/software solution offerings. Through this new partnership, Lenovo’s OEM solutions business will expand its portfolio of products with ADLINK-provided embedded PC solutions and services.
IoT platform brings device connectivity to processors
Express Logic has announced that its industrial-grade X-Ware IoT Platform - powered by the ThreadX RTOS - provides turnkey support for the AndesCore 32-bit N25 and 64-bit NX25 RISC-V processors. RISC-V, a standard open architecture ISA under the governance of the RISC-V Foundation, is highly portable and enables the open source community to test and improve cores faster than with closed ISAs.
