Intelligence

In a wired up network of sensors and actuators, induced and stray voltages due to surges are significant. Optical isolation with independent, isolated power supply is a must for safe operation. Webyfy has created multichannel digital, analog, serial optical isolation input modules and also for isolating outputs.

When it comes to video based security monitoring of remote installations, bandwidth aware communication is critical. One cannot wait for the image of higher size (resolution) to be received. Operator need to know instantly what is happening at the specific location. For this to happen, the images need to be resized to adjust to the bandwidth available.

IOT requires multitudes of sensors and actuators to be interconnected and communicate data amongst them. BLE is a low energy data transmission technology. Creating a mesh with BLE devices is the most energy efficient methodology for interconnection. Webyfy has developed the BLE mesh system to interconnect various devices.

Managing large number of remote installations requires real time information updated. Web pages provide the interface and they should have the capacity to connect to multiple locations and update data in real time. Webyfy has developed a technology stack which creates complex webpages with real time data updated directly from multiple locations.

IOT system has very little ‘idea to implementation’ cycle time. Conventional process takes significant duration to develop a solution. Hence a configuration driven module assembly process is required. Webyfy has developed a module based system development process in which operationally independent modules are created initially and assembled through a configuration system without the need for additional programming.

Managing remote system availability is a critical and often a difficult process. Webyfy has come out with technology which can monitor 1000 status information with just 1 Kb of data being sent. This has very little processing load at both ends and the periodicity can be managed.

Ideally, IOT system should be independent in its capability to deliver its functionalities without any external dependence. The controllers should have intelligence to execute rules and escalate automatically as needed. The system should also have capability to store the data and transmit as and when the communication is established. Automatic self-correction and high fault tolerance is also a must for such systems.

Availability of geographically distributed system and its components are to be monitored in real time. This may pose appreciable challenges and take in significant resources. Webyfy has developed a methodology to send the status report of almost 1000 subsystems in a location using just one kilobits of data.

Ubiquitous Intelligence warrants intelligence in last mile sensor data collation devices or at best in the sensors or actuators themselves. Configurability of the embedded software in the sensor hub plays a critical role in making it intelligent. The configurations should also be driven from “outside” without need for any additional software effort.

When managing distributed systems, it is critical to make a system at a location independent, in its functionality delivery without assistance from the Remote monitoring station. At the same time, it should allow remote over ride and report to remote monitoring stations.
