    Metadata and telemetry data in IoT

    Iot Aws
    Video Metadata Metadata gives meaning to data. Data without meaning is simply a noise without value. In the IoT domain, device metadata describes a device. Device metadata can include: device MAC address firmware version assignment to a room (in Smart Home solution) Telemetry data Telemetry data describes an environment sensed (using sensors) by the device. That might be: temperature heartbeat rate battery level Telemetry data also should be described by metadata (but let’s keep this example as simple as possible).

    IoT Consultant - is it worth it

    Career
    I posted some technical content but never mentioned if it is worth it to be a professional IoT Consultant. As an IoT Consultant, you have many responsibilities: help to define the Business Use Case help to predict the potential Business Value provided by some new prototype assist in Solution Architecture design ensure that the designed system is secure at every layer: device, connectivity, cloud backend … You need to have strong technical background:

    Serverless IoT

    Iot Aws
    Video Introduction Today I will present a simple serverless IoT architecture. Serverless is a popular designing concept for cloud applications. It is not always obvious that it can be used in IoT systems. I will show a sample design of a system with three Thermometers and Fan (illustrating an air conditioning device). Overview Those connected devices have very limited capabilities: Thermometers are able to send readings to the cloud Fan is able to receive commands (on/off) from the cloud MQTT Topics Before we start actual implementation, we need to define MQTT Topics used in our system.

    IoT Cost Factors and IoT Role

    Iot
    Video Introduction Today I would like to talk about the role of an IoT Consultant and the Cost Factors of the IoT solutions. In my opinion, the IoT Consultant should engage in defining the Business Use Case, not only the Technical Solution for the Business Use Case. The role of an IoT Consultant is to be the Trusted Advisor for the Business/Product/Service Owner. Today I will cover the cost factor perspective.

    IoT PoC design checklist

    Iot
    Video Introduction Hello, it’s LMtx. Today I would like to talk about the PoC design checklist. The PoC (Proof of Concept) is used to verify assumptions regarding the business value provided by a new solution. We should focus on the business value, not the technical details of the future initiative. It is very common that people dive deep into technical feasibility and forget about the required business outcome. Let’s say that we avoided that trap and clearly defined the business goals.
