IoT Scenarios

Industrial IoT

It’s not about Arduino’s or Raspberry Pi’s

Very diverse landscape of machinery

Multi-tenancy on data (customer vs manufacturer)

Industrial IoT

Very often legacy systems, not build with connectivity in mind

Remote monitoring & predictive maintenance

Standardization efforts: OPC-UA

IoT Value chain

The IoT

Nebulus Cloud

Gateway

Bridge local protocols to cloud

Cross-plat, Azure connected

Device & gateway management

Cloud gateway connectivity

Gateway portal

Manage & provision configure & secure

gateways

Adding value to

Project effort per phase

Connectivity

Direct connectivity➔ Easiest to install and configure➔ Mixing machine logic with IoT

logic➔ Complexity of IoT (retries,

command handling…) on every machine

➔ Not possible for legacy systems➔ “Feels” less secure

Connect machines directly with the internet

Azure IoT Hub

Cloud gateways➔ Devices come with embedded

connectivity (LoRa, SigFox…) to a propriatary cloud

➔ Cloud to Cloud integration needed➔ Forwarding capabilities from platforms

available to ➔ Azure IoT, Amazon, custom HTTP endpoints

➔ Easy to start in the cloud

Out of the box cloud connectivity with cloud gateway forwarding

Azure IoT Hub Protocol Gateway SDK

Field gateways➔ Requires extra hardware

➔ industrial PC, physical gateway➔ Machine logic seperated from

IoT logic➔ Complexity of IoT in one single

place➔ Retries, command handling…

➔ Way to Internet-enable legacy systems

➔ “Feels” more secure

Connect (multiple) machines through a gateway with the internet

Activation Logic Secure bootstrapper for initial activation & identity logic

Module Repository Manager Downloads and updates modules from the cloud, on new versions

Configuration Manager Listens for configuration updates to the cloud and dispatches to the runtime

Gateway Information Manager Returns information about the health of the device on which the Gateway runs

Port forwarder (remote access) Allows remote connections on the local network for remote desktop & other tools

Device Discovery agent Listens for requests to scan network for devices and reports back to backendBuilt and provided by Codit

Provided by Microsoft SDK

Nebulus IoT Gateway is a supported, full product, using the Microsoft Azure IoT Gateway SDK (which is a framework), provided by Microsoft.

Nebulus IoT Gateway is backed by a Cloud API that allows customers to interact with their gateways.

Data structures➔ Canonical data structures needed

➔ Device representation (structure)➔ Field parameters

➔ Two directions of telemetry➔ Persist native stream➔ Normalize towards ‘canonical data structure’

Data storage options

Business Rules➔ Seperate rules evaluation

from action processing➔ Require flexibility & dynamic

creationAzure Stream Analytics

Azure Service Fabric

Integration➔ An IoT solution should not be isolated➔ Integration with other systems

➔ Ticketing systems➔ Maintenance➔ Command and control

Device Management

Device lifecycle PlanGroup devices and control access according to your

organization's needs

ProvisionSecurely authenticate devices, on-board for management and

provision for service

ConfigureProvide updates, configuration

& applications to assign the purpose of each device

MonitorMonitor device inventory, health & security while

providing proactive remediation of issues

RetireReplace or decommission

devices after failure or service lifetime

Device management, challenges

➔ Scale & Automation➔ Less complex tools which enable management of millions of devices with a

small staff ➔ Open & Compatible

➔ Tools provide tailored management for many different hardware, software, and protocol platforms

➔ Context aware➔ Management operations adjust to dynamic conditions: downtime windows,

network/power conditions, usage patterns, and device geolocation ➔ Serve many roles

➔ Including traditional IT, support for the workflows and processes of admin and operations roles are crucial (IT + OT)
