Webyfy Labs would like to share the years of experience we have gained with others. These notes would act as guide lines for R&D personnel and developers to think of various possibilities and get a better understanding of the possible pitfalls.
IOT requires multitudes of devices to be interconnected and communicate amongst them. Multiple technologies may be used to send data across. Webyfy has developed data interconnection hardware with embedded software for seamless data communication amongst devices. BLE, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, LOWAN etc can be interconnected.
IOT is an arena which requires fast idea to implementation cycle. Conventional methodologies will not be sufficient. Hence system development through configuration based assembly of modules is a must. Webyfy has developed a process to study functional processes and identify individual elements. These are assembled to form business solutions.
Map service provider gets access to data when their APIs are used to present the data over a map. This is not a suitable method to represent security data. Webyfy has perfected a technology with which data is placed as a layer over the map without any communication to the Map service provider.
The security video streamed in real time to an operator to a remote monitoring station needs to display the latest image. This may not be possible if the bandwidth is low or erratic. The LIFO technology enables the skipping older frames and latest sent.
The processing power of the client machines are significantly high.
Discarding the conventional server based processing, majority of the
processing can be shifted from the server to minimize server load. Webyfy
has developed methodologies which multiplies the number of concurrent
clients connected to a server.
Wireless sensors with built in power supply is critical as it will preserve the esthetics and also increase the speed of installation and ease the maintenance of the system.
Video wall is necessary for monitoring multiples of remote installations. However, if displays are not managed by rules, and if the number of locations under surveillance is large, it will be impossible to make any intelligent judgments of the situation prevailing at a specific location by looking at its video. So rule based display of the video is a must to make it intelligible.
Conventional representation of data becomes impractical when large number of geographically distributed systems are monitored. This leaves only the map based interface to be used. Webyfy has created a map based interface which automatically displays the conditions prevailing at locations. Webyfy uses layering technology which access of operational data by the map service provider.
Ubiquitous intelligence warrants decision making capability to devices. Rule execution capability with facility to change rules in run time is to be instilled in a process node. Webyfy has created Intelligent Sensor / Actuator Processor and Interconnector (PHYSC) capable of intelligently collating sensors data and controlling actuators.
