The Internet of Things (IoT) is expanding at an unprecedented pace. As IoT solutions become more complex, the need for comprehensive and efficient IoT testing increases.
Leverege uses BigQuery as a key component of its data and analytics pipeline to deliver innovative IoT solutions at scale.
Data quality is fairly simple nomenclature to describe the state of the data being processed, analyzed, fed into AI, and more. But this modest little term belies an incredibly critical and complicated reality: that enterprises require the highest level of data quality possible in order to do everything from developing product and business strategies, and engaging with customers, to predicting the weather and finding the fastest delivery routes.
Remember way back around 2016, when “IoT” was just entering the lexicon? The technology behind the “Internet of things” was starting to be used across industries. In the energy space, for example, companies used it to capture data being sent from tens of thousands of sensors from various equipment, like inverters, controllers, anemometers (wind speed detectors), cloud-watching cameras, and more.
The usage of resources is one of the critical factors in IoT contexts; it is common to observe that devices can suddenly disconnect when their available resources are exceeded; monitoring, however, can be worse due to the additional resource consumption required for such tracking.
For the newest instalment in our series of interviews asking leading technology specialists about their achievements in their field, we’ve welcomed Tim Panagos, CTO and Co-founder of IoT data startup Microshare. Tim is a technology executive with over twenty years of experience in enterprise software. Tim was most recently Chief Architect of Accenture’s global Business Process Management (BPM) practice, where he led software architecture innovation.
Firmware is a code or software on the device that allows and enables the device to perform various tasks. The most common architectures for IoT devices are ARM and MIPS. Firmware provides the necessary instructions on how to communicate with hardware. Firmware is held in non-volatile memory devices such as ROM, EPROM, EEPROM, and code running on embedded devices. Updates to Firmware: Firmware updates are often pushed to fix bugs, roll out new features, or improve security.
