Basics of IoT IoT (Internet of Things) refers to a network where devices communicate to devices and devices communicate to software applications over the internet . This web-enabled devices/internet enabled devices will usually collect data, send and act upon data from their surrounding environment. •       The IoT network consists of Edge side (sensors, actuators and controllers connected to the internet) and Cloud side. •       The devices on the Edge side can either connect to the internet directly or using an Edge (IoT) gateway . The Edge gateway is used for: •        Providing a connection to the internet for devices that cannot connect to the internet on their own. These devices don’t have feature to connect to the Internet. •        Local functionality/control that must work even without internet availability •       ...

Wireless Technologies in IoT The explosive growth of the internet over the last decade has increased the research and interest on internet of things (IoT) and led to an increasing demand for high speed, ubiquitous internet access. The IoT is envisioned as “a global network of connected devices having identities and virtual personalities operating in smart spaces and using intelligent interfaces to communicate within social, environmental and user contexts. In broadband there are so many wireless standards and technologies exist which provides a path for IoT. The multiple wireless access technologies include GSM, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, cellular etc. and they all must be effectively integrated to create a seamless communication platform.   These all have its own merits and demerits. Any wireless technology to be suitable for IoT applications it needs to reduce power consumption, provide high data rate and security.   Managing heterogeneous networking infrastructure especia...

Introduction to HTML5 What is HTML? HTML is a markup language. XML/SGML also example for markup language and markup language is identified by tags i.e. information is represented in between tags (</>).   HTML offers a collection of tags . Purpose of HTML is for development of “ Web pages ”. Its standardized by W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) and WHATWG (Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group) agencies.   Its extension is .html or .htm. Its not a case sensitive.  HTML doesn’t have support for OOPS, structured programming and functional programming. HTML page can contain tags, CSS, Script.   HTML programs are not compiled, (don’t generate .exe or .obj) but interpreted. They are interpreted by layout engines (engine that understands HTML) of a browser, and these are foundations for program to get execute. HTML follows a more relaxed syntax. HTML program does not report errors and cant be debugged. Various layout engines in different bro...

Automobiles in IoT Accident rates are tremendously increasing day by day due to reckless driving. It has become a necessary to implement a system which ensures safety. An electronic system which can be designed to monitor over speed conditions and seat belt status of the driver. It also provides a button, named as Ladies‟ One Button Help ”, which can be used in emergency conditions for the security notion. It uses Arduino Uno as the controller. It uses GPS and GSM modules for sending over speed notification and ‘Help’ messages to police control room and also helps to reduce accidents due to over speed as it forces the driver to keep the vehicle speed in the predetermined range. This device thus helps to provide a safe and secure driving environment. To be precise, extension of this system would be an integrated database that would track, communicate, store and provide intelligent feedback on critical vehicle performance and safety parameters like Location, Vehicle statu...

 Industrial IoT Application – Intelligent valves in IoT Objective: To implement local intelligence in ICS (Industrial Control Servo) valve by measuring selected primary data and use it to calculate / infer useful derived data. Primary data: Pressure difference(∆ 𝑃 ) across the valve Temperature at inlet and outlet(T1&T2) Position of the servo piston Derived data: Mass flow / Capacity through valve Life cycle estimation – wear & tear, number of operations To implement connectivity in ICS valve by creating a network layer & connect ICS valve for local & cloud interaction Below is the block diagram of the IIoT application (figure  Figure 1 IIoT Block diagram Challenges: •     Extreme temperature  and pressure range(0 to 52 bar) •     Presence of stray magnetic field. •     Space, Design and cost constraints •    Size of the syste...

Hi Everyone, Now-a-days, we are hearing terms such as IoT, IoE, IIoT, WoT. In this article i am trying to explain what exactly these terms means.  Let me start with fancy word called IoT (Internet Of Things). Its a world of things (such as vehicles, home appliances, any physical device) connected.  These devices embedded with firmware, software, electronics, sensors, actuators and connectivity which makes any physical device intelligent, so that they can talk with each other. Do you want to know why? I will be explaining more details in my next article. IIoT is Industrial IoT, i.e using IoT in manufacturing industries. This brings brilliant machines together, advanced analytics and many more. It has great potential to change the way how the Industry works and it enables M2M machine-to-machine communication. Next article i will tell some real time applications of this. IoE is Internet of Everything where people, process, data and things(these are ...
