3 reasons why OTA updates are important [Part II]

Devices are everywhere but they all need maintenance. Maintaining household gadgets such as laptops, printers and smart watches has become easier over the years as update technology evolves. Today, users do not have to even think about updates – they can seamlessly take place in the background or overnight. These updates take place over-the-air (OTA) and have revolutionised the way that we keep hardware, software or firmware maintained.

Upgrade Your IoT/OT Tech Stack: Replace Legacy Data Historians with InfluxDB

Manufacturing and industrial organizations are firmly in the era of Industry 4.0. The third wave of industrial revolution, which saw the introduction of computers, robots, and automation in industrial processes, has given way to instrumentation, and the use of advanced technologies, like machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), using both raw and trained data, to enhance industrial processes.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial IoT Devices at the Edge

In industrial operations, time is money. The more efficient processes and machinery are, the better it is for business. Providing proactive monitoring and maintenance of industrial machines, however, is not an easy task. This is especially true as these machines become increasingly complex and distributed. It’s not possible to have maintenance crews on site for every asset in a distributed system. The edge is where the physical world meets the digital world.

The security challenge facing global IoT projects

Internet of Things (IoT) deployments continue to expand globally, revolutionising the way businesses operate by boosting efficiency and enhancing experiences for customers and employees. But as is the case with many innovations, growth has outpaced security considerations resulting in unforeseen problems emerging as bad actors seek to exploit new vulnerabilities.

IoT Sensors: What They Are and How to Use Them

For a very long time, businesses in various industries have been using smart sensors. However, with the development of the Internet of Things (IoT), their significance has increased. Sensors represent the beginning of a data collection chain that, when processed by IoT platforms, generates essential insights for assertive decision-making and even for developing new business ideas. Generally, a smart sensor has three main components: This technology is already used in many countries.

What is IoT Device Management?

IoT devices are exponentially growing in number each year, with an anticipated 14.4 billion IoT devices by the end of 2023 up to 27 billion IoT devices by the year 2025. The accelerated growth can be attributed to a variety of positive effects like increased efficiency, productivity, and convenience. However, in order to gain these benefits, these IoT devices need to be managed effectively.

5 Common IoT Security Challenges to Be Aware Of

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to grow, transforming the way we live and work, it should be expected that there will be various security challenges to battle. This means that as a business owner, you should be ready to secure your devices and connections. Statista reports that there are currently 15.14 billion IoT-connected devices worldwide.

A Guide to Using ARM Stack Limit Registers

Stack overflows have notoriously plagued the development processes. They often can go undetected and can present themselves in obscure ways. We have implemented software mechanisms to protect against them, but these have limitations and still don’t protect against all conditions. With the maturity of the ARM architecture, wouldn’t it be better to have a fool-proof mechanism for detecting overflows?
