The Team
Cool, but why is another IoT platform needed?
Well, there are several reasons. First of all, deploying an end-to-end IoT solution requires a complex set of hardware & software skills: electronics, wireless connectivity, embedded programming, back-end and front-end development. Furthermore, the IoT ecosystem involves different types of actors leading to a highly disparate environment: service providers, application developers, telecom operators, cloud providers, public authorities, device manufacturers, maker communities.
Thus, a new fully-open device at minimum cost is needed, which can be deployed with minimum prior know-how from the end-user, operate unattended in the field, and provide an easy-to-use management and visualization stack towards truly commoditizing IoT. Eventually, it’s mandatory to have an early, accurate and common way to measure, assess, analyse, predict, and eventually optimize the end-to-end IoT performance, addressing the complete hardware and software ecosystem stakeholders: from chipset manufacturers to application developers and end-users.
So, how can we fix this?
- MCU technologies (ESP32, Arduino)
- medium and Long-range communication technologies (WiFi, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, Satellite IoT)
- transport protocols (CoAP, MQTT)
- sensors (environmental, application-specific)
- "out-of-the-box" deployment by non-experts
- unattended solar-powered multi-year operation in the field
- continuous "health status" and performance KPIs monitoring
- dashboards
- programmable APIs
- Machine Learning models
- Precision Agriculture
- Intelligent Transportation Systems
- Emergency Response
- Smart Indystry / Robotics
What about open hardware and software?
- Open Hardware: Schematics and Bill-of-Materials for IoT nodes available to the IoT maker community
- Open-Source Software posted in GitHub:
- general-purpose libraries and protocol implementations for the community
- example code running in end-nodes enabling vertical applications
- a lightweight stack for running an end-to-end IoT solution on-premises
Is there something for you in insigh.io?
- an end-user or someone actively involved in a maker/open-source community with no special hardware or software skills, who needs a low barrier entry solution for entering the world of IoT
- a local network administrator, service provider, manager or business owner, who wants to maximize the uptime of your network, allocate resources for operation and maintenance tasks, assess the performance of the IoT devices and even evaluate the hidden costs of running such a network
- a vertical transitioning to Industry 4.0, who plans to launch new IoT projects/integrated solutions, and want to focus on your core business, eliminating the need to deal with a disparate set of actors, including service providers, application developers, telecom operators, cloud providers, public authorities, device manufacturers, etc.
- an IoT device manufacturer, vendor or network operator, who needs to acquire thorough information about the actual performance of the infrastructure and end-nodes in the wild, identify operation deficiencies, and eventually improve your designs.
- a research organization, public/private authority of project consortium, who wants to perform early IoT technologies testing in lab and real-world conditions and organize pilots/trials using customized equipment
