Today's world is fast-moving and digitally networked. The streams of data flowing through our modern infrastructures are almost inexhaustible. From industrial plants to networked vehicles and smart cities - huge amounts of data are in circulation everywhere. In my blog post, I show how this data can be processed efficiently and in real time and what edge computing has to do with it.

If you want to develop viable, successful solutions over the long term and also be able to evaluate and channel the potential of the Internet of Things, IoT needs to be strategically anchored at your organisation. This is where the IoT factory comes in handy. I will explain what that is in my blog post.

An anomaly is a data point or pattern in a time series that differs from the data you would typically expect to receive. Anomaly detection deals with the task of identifying these irregularities. In this blog post, we will be presenting approaches used to analyse time series data and detect anomalies. Along with that, you will also find out how to successfully integrate the algorithms into a smart product platform.

Many established SMEs in the manufacturing industry in Germany struggle with the challenge of using heterogeneous machinery: they operate machines made by different manufacturers, some of which are newer than others, and some of which are used more than others – all depending on their company’s individual history. If we are talking exclusively about digitalising and standardising these types of manufacturing environments in the sense of modern Industry 4.0 applications, then there is one question in the industry that is more pressing than any other: is a conversion or retrofit worthwhile at all?

While the first part of this blog series dealt with the technology of narrowband-IoT and in the second part I went into the specifics of communication based on MQTT-SN via NB-IoT, the third and final part of the series will focus on the aspect of security, which is critical for the Internet of Things.

While the first part of my blog series focused on the technology of NB-IoT, the second part will discuss the technical aspects of using it, as the advantages of transmitting data using narrowband IoT are quickly squandered if it is used incorrectly.

This blog post is the first part of a series on the topic of narrowband IoT and the special features that it entails when it comes to data transmission. In this part, I will introduce the technology as well as indicators that speak for or against the use of narrowband IoT.

Finding patterns in data is a task that keeps data scientists as well as domain experts busy. For companies, data is a critical business asset that adds value. To this end, store floor connectivity plays an essential role. I explain what this is all about in my blog post using a (fictional) example.

Advances in IoT and other information technologies such as cloud and mobile computing have promoted the digitisation of products. Digital products offer a wide range of opportunities for innovation and high potential for new use cases. While customer centricity is an important consideration, manufacturers should also consider the internal benefits of use cases on the manufacturing side. In my blog post, I explain how we help companies do this.
