Particle just released the coolest new feature we announced at Spectra this year — "Asset OTA", which makes it possible to deliver systemwide software updates to an IoT device. What does that mean, exactly? It means that if you are building a complex embedded system — one with multiple processors inside, like a vehicle or a more complex machine — you can now use Particle to deliver OTA software updates not just to the IoT module that we provide but to every other processor in the system. Technical features like this require a bit of explanation to understand how cool they are. Luckily, I like explaining things! Come along with me on a journey to talk about OTA software updates, how "continuous delivery" can be applied to machines and equipment, and why the technical team at Particle is full of bad-ass engineers who build amazing things. https://lnkd.in/eyRDF_dk

CEO Dr. Bill Bain shares insightful predictions for 2024 on the evolution of digital twins in a new App Developer Magazine article (https://bit.ly/3vpxX5C). While digital twins have historically been used to refine complex products such as jet engines, they are now set to transform real-time system monitoring and predictive modeling. Digital twins will combine streaming analytics and simulations to provide new insights that help operational managers of live systems make better decisions in the moment. Leveraging the power of in-memory computing technology, digital twins will empower organizations to navigate growing complexity in a wide range of industries, including transportation, healthcare, IoT, smart cities, disaster recovery, security, and logistics. #DigitalTwins #2024predictions #PredictiveModeling #Simulations

Siemens Developer Playgrounds Did you know that there is a playgrounds section on the Siemens Xcelerator Developer Portal? You can browse our API Catalogue on the Public API Network hosted by postman, play with our Siemens Industrial Experience Design System (iX) which is open sourced and MIT-licensed and take a look at the live Node-RED examples for the industrial IOT connectivity

One of the highlights of our September Changelog is that our platform's Device Timeline now includes a visualization of the active software version on the device alongside the metric and traces information. This feature enables users to swiftly link any metric behavior, crash, or reboot event with the specific software version that was in use at that moment.

Facing complex measurement challenges in your production cycle? See how our client leveraged the Inimco.Facts rule engine to overcome the impossible. By converting an XLS theoretical model into a dynamic, real-time data tool, we provided clarity and precision where manual estimates once stood. This integration not only saved time but also increased accuracy in measuring by-product yields, proving that with the right tools, no challenge is too big. #IoT #OEE #RealTime #RuleEngine https://lnkd.in/efC39waq

🚀 **Boosting Embedded Systems with Ring Buffers for Real-Time Data Handling** 🚀 In the fast-paced world of embedded systems, managing real-time data efficiently is the key to success. 📊 That's where the superhero of data structures comes in – the Ring Buffer! 🔗 **What's a Ring Buffer?** Imagine it as a circular data storage space. New data gets added at one end, and if it fills up, it seamlessly replaces the oldest data. This ensures you always have the latest info on hand. 💡 **Applications Galore:** From IoT devices collecting sensor data to communication interfaces like UART, SPI, and I2C, and even audio/video data processing – ring buffers shine in real-time scenarios, ensuring data flows smoothly. 🚀 **Advantages for Embedded Systems:** Ring buffers provide lightning-fast access to data, optimize memory usage, and keep data flow steady even during heavy workloads. This is gold when milliseconds matter. 👨💻 **For Embedded Developers:** If you're crafting the future of embedded systems, consider the ring buffer your trusty ally. It's a compact but powerful tool that ensures your data management keeps up with the pace of the tech world.

Unleash the Power of Modbus Data Logging with Our Feature-Packed Software Our software seamlessly connects to Modbus TCP devices, making data logging a breeze. Here's how we're revolutionizing the way you log and utilize your data: Real-time Data Logging In the fast-paced industrial landscape, real-time data access is crucial. With our Modbus data logger, you can monitor your Modbus TCP devices in real-time. This means you're always in the loop, even if you're miles away from your facility. Whether it's tracking the performance of a critical machine or ensuring environmental conditions meet regulatory standards, real-time data is at your fingertips. Historical Data for In-Depth Analysis To gain insights into your processes and make informed decisions, historical data is invaluable. Our software stores comprehensive historical data, allowing you to analyze trends, identify anomalies, and fine-tune your operations. With the ability to view data for specific timeframes, you can gain a deeper understanding of your systems' performance. Trigger-Based Data Logging Sometimes, specific events or conditions are of particular interest. Our Modbus data logger enables trigger-based data logging. You can set up triggers to capture data when certain thresholds are met or conditions change. For example, if a machine's temperature exceeds a critical level, the logger will capture that data, enabling you to take prompt corrective action. CSV Data Downloads We understand the importance of data accessibility. That's why our software allows you to download logged data in CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files. You can easily export and share the data with colleagues or use it for further analysis in your preferred software tools. This flexibility is crucial for integrating data into your existing processes. Configurable Report Screens Every facility is unique, and your data logging needs may vary. Our software provides the flexibility to configure report screens according to your specific requirements. You can choose the data points you want to monitor, the time intervals for data collection, and the visualization style that suits you best. Graphical Insights in PDF Format Visualization is a powerful tool for data analysis. Our software enables you to create multiple graphs to represent your data visually. You can customize the graphs to focus on the metrics that matter most to you. Not only that, but you can download these graphs in PDF format, making it easy to share with stakeholders and team members. "Discover more by visiting our website: https://iiotdatareader.com".
