New platform helps deliver industrial IoT solutions
Enterprises are under increasing pressure to adopt the benefits the Internet of Things can offer, but they need to be able to deliver fast performance at large scale.
IoT platform company infiswift is launching a new solution to deliver powerful IoT infrastructure that can also be scaled down from the cloud to run on an edge device like a Raspberry Pi or Arduino.
The platform uses a broker to distribute messages to recipients in 300 microseconds so that data gets where it needs to go in true real-time. Additional capabilities of the platform include robust security with built-in TLS encryption, a load balancer to maintain performance by spreading load as a solution scales and a robust rules engine to trigger custom alerts and actions. A solution built on the infiswift IoT platform can be added to with deep analytics and visualizations. The company works with each customer to develop a unique enterprise-grade solution that provides performance efficiencies to meet future needs.
"Another capability of the new platform that will be very attractive to customers is its ability to truly support level 1 quality of service (QoS) that guarantees message delivery," says Siva Venkatesan, director of software at infiswift. "While the MQTT protocol supports such delivery guarantees, I'm not aware of another provider that can actually offer QoS 1. We've devised a patent-pending method to achieve this for high importance data, which is a huge breakthrough."
The platform is already being used by Acuitus Ag to help farms connect, manage and analyze performance data in order to operate more efficiently and drive down costs.
You can find out more about the platform on the infiswift website, it will be demonstrated at IoT World this week, and there's an infographic showing the savings from buying rather than developing an IoT platform below.
