If your enterprise wants to implement functions such as equipment lifecycle management, equipment information management, equipment monitoring, and data processing, and to carry out intelligent digital transformation, you may wish to learn about IoT perception.
IoT sensing products use IoT technology to realize the perception, connection and intelligence of the physical world. IoT sensing products generally consist of four parts: terminals, edge gateways, backhaul networks, and cloud platforms. Specifically:
- Terminal refers to various sensors, controllers, cameras and other devices that can collect and process information in the physical environment, such as temperature, humidity, location, images, etc., and access the network through wired or wireless methods;
- The edge gateway refers to the device connecting the terminal and the backhaul network, which can realize the automatic discovery of the terminal, identity authentication, data conversion, encrypted transmission and other functions, and supports edge computing and local control;
- The backhaul network refers to the communication network that connects the edge gateway and the cloud platform, which can be wired or wireless, such as Ethernet, optical fiber, 5G, etc., and needs to ensure efficient, reliable, and safe transmission of data;
- The cloud platform refers to a software platform for managing, controlling and analyzing IoT sensing products, which can provide a unified interface and standardized data, and support various application scenarios and business needs.
The workflow of IoT sensing products is as follows: the terminal collects information in the physical environment, converts it into standard intercommunication messages through the edge gateway, and sends them to the cloud platform through the backhaul network; the cloud platform processes and analyzes the data, and according to The business logic issues control instructions; the edge gateway receives the control instructions and forwards them to the corresponding terminal for execution; the terminal adjusts its own state or outputs control signals externally according to the control instructions to realize intelligent control of the physical environment.
IoT sensing products have many practical applications. For example, in smart cities, IoT sensing products can monitor and manage the urban environment, traffic, security, energy, etc.:
- Smart lighting, IoT sensing products can realize functions such as remote control of street lights, energy-saving adjustment, fault alarm, etc., and improve urban lighting efficiency and management level;
- Smart transportation, IoT sensing products can realize structural health monitoring, safety warning, accident handling and other functions of bridges, tunnels, roads and other traffic facilities to ensure traffic safety and smooth flow;
- Smart environment, IoT sensing products can realize real-time monitoring and analysis of environmental indicators such as air quality, water quality, noise, etc., and provide data support and decision-making reference for environmental governance;
- Smart community, IoT sensing products can realize intelligent identification, control and management of public facilities such as community entrances and exits, parking lots, elevators, etc., and improve community safety and convenience.
Nowadays, IoT sensing products have emerged in endlessly, reaching every industry. For example: Humi IoT sensing platform, aimed at industrial scenarios, based on the "cloud, edge, and end" design, provides fast access, high concurrent data communication, etc. Functional full-stack full-scenario IoT platform services; use algorithms to define hardware, and help customers quickly build exclusive IoT through massive algorithms + standard hardware, reducing users' integration costs and technical thresholds.
