In the course of preparing the Internet of Things (I) in the WeChat group of the Internet of Things, I found that the development of the Internet of Things in recent years has centered on the core of IoT platform services.
Because of the background of my enterprise application software, my most familiar with the architecture of the Internet of Things is the framework proposed by IBM, which also provides services for enterprise information.
In the previous course, I have always emphasized that IoT platform services are the core and the rulers of the new business ecosystem of the future Internet of Things. However, it is rare to analyze the service layer of the Internet of Things platform.
IBM is at this service level, and now mainly promotes Waston, and IBM's philosophy is more emphasis on wisdom (or intelligence).
However, if the platform of the Internet of Things is researched, the description of the IoT platform is mostly based on the communication industry. The IoT platform is mainly divided into: Communication Management Platform (CMP), Device Management Platform (DMP) and Application Enablement Platform (AEP). .
It has been mentioned many times in previous articles that the Internet of Things is a multi-domain fusion technology with different characteristics and languages. In the early development of the Internet of Things, communication was the bottleneck, so the authority to solve communication problems was more important. The communication industry must first solve the problem of communication management, so from the platform provided by the telecommunications (communication) related industries, it will be divided into communication management, equipment management and application enablement.
According to the communication industry, the communication industry hopes that all devices will communicate through the telecommunication network in the future, so it is especially important to manage communication through the telecom platform.
In the case of enterprise application software vendors, most of the enterprises that serve are their own internal networking. Therefore, enterprise application software vendors enter the Internet of Things platform, and more emphasis is placed on the business. At the communication layer, the communication protocol layer is emphasized, so More emphasis is placed on the business, that is, most of the emphasis is on the business enablement function.
Therefore, at the platform level, you can see the platform provided by the communication industry. The connection capability is very strong, but the application is simple, and even many applications do not form a process. More is to manage devices, connect devices and obtain big data.
The enterprise application software provider is called the Internet of Things platform, and there are rich scenarios. However, for the connection, the internal network connection is common, only the communication is smooth, but the communication management is relatively weak.
However, with the further popularization of the Internet of Things, the coverage of intranets will be limited. For example, in the petroleum and petrochemical industry, there are three links: oil production, oil refining and sales. The most informatized and automated is the refining process. The key equipments have already realized the connection of industrial bus (or industrial Ethernet), which is very perfect for equipment management. However, the oil production and sales links are very scattered. It is difficult to manage the original enterprise network. Therefore, the connection ratio of these two links is low, and the more effective method is that the Internet of Things in the oil production and sales links is connected through the network provided by the operator. In this way, the IoT platform needs to be further integrated in the two dimensions of enterprise application software and communication industry.
In the communication layer, it will learn from the equipment management capabilities of the communications industry; at the application layer, the communications industry will further learn from the experience of enterprise application software.
In the field of convergence, PTC's Thingworx value draws: PLM has been integrated into the Thingworx platform, while the after-sales management process and the ability to manage complex devices are integrated into the platform.
