Overcoming the Limitations of Current or Legacy M2M Systems M2M Evolution: The Old and the New Internet of Things Munich, Robert Andres

The Internet of Things Legacy M2M Systems M2M is not a new concept - device to business applications have been implemented for many years M2M is just a new term for distributed systems like the ones we have built for years Technology advances and standardization lead to a commoditization of distributed systems There is a huge number of legacy protocols and technologies implemented and in use today that have to be supported

The Internet of Things Understanding Legacy Architectures Multi-Drop Polled Circuits Operation Consoles FEP Host Enterprise Applications Poll/Response Paradigm uses 100% of available bandwidth The data “Transport” is the “Application” One protocol for all field equipment limits deployment of new technology & impedes migration to new technologies

The Internet of Things Understanding Legacy Architectures One-to-One data relationship between the Host and field equipment. Custom applications are required to access data Multi-Drop Polled Circuits Operation Consoles FEP Host Custom Application ERP Modeling Engineering Custom Application Enterprise Applications

The Internet of Things Legacy Architectures – Implementation Barrier Complex mix of data producers, consumers, and services is not addressed: One-to-One data relationship between the services (devices, sensors) and the (enterprise) applications requiring the data Custom applications on a database level are required to access data 60%-90% of Project Effort on Data Delivery Costly Bandwidth Consumption Protocol is the Transport – Can’t break apart

The Internet of Things Architectural Approach for more effective M2M Solutions What needs to be done: Decoupling of consumers and producers of data Single flexible & manageable M2M infrastructure Flexible, IT centric SEN hardware & software platforms But … “Minimal-invasive” approach Integrating legacy systems, preserving investments Reduce cost (WAN, cellular, implementation, operations)

The Internet of Things Architectural Approach for more effective M2M Solutions What needs to be done (short version): Decoupling Producers & Consumers of M2M Device Data + Integrating and Consolidating Services at the Edge
