… require seamless integration between the things in the

field and the enterprise applications without creating

dependencies

The Internet of Things

• Performance constrains

• Few standards

• Human resource constraints (C++)

• Expensive, limited communication

• Monolithic approach

• Single-purpose devices

• Hardware-defined systems

• Store-and-Forward communication

• Operations-centric approach

Evolution: M2M 2.0 = IoT

• Powerful embedded systems

• Open and industry standards

• No HR constrains (Java)

• Inexpensive, available communication

• System & platform approach

• Multi-service systems

• Software-defined systems

• Real-time data and communication

• IT-centric approach

The Internet of Things

• IT centric, open and standards based IIoT / IoT

connectivity platforms as building blocks for extending the

enterprise IT

• Implementation of “Enterprise Service Bus for Machines”

like architectures to allow an easy integration of different

device data systems and applications

• Software-defined Gateway approach to integrate and

consolidate data streams and future proof investments

• IT centric application development and management to

implement business logic in smart edge devices / service

gateways

• Off the shelf general purpose and purpose built devices

(and CPU Boards) designed to meet vertical market value

propositions

Why Open Source IoT Gateway Stack?

IoT Gateway Challenges:

• Pressure to add value in

shrinking timeframes

• Velocity of technology changes

outstrips staffing

• Interoperability trumps

exclusive differentiation

• Quest for quality w/o lock-in

Open Source is the Answer!

Industrial IoT with Kura Wires

Kura Wires - Terminology

• Composer UI - It is the canvas area for Kura Wires in which the

dataflow graph will be created.

• Logical Block - A Logical Block is a visual element in the

Composer UI which is represented as a node in the Kura Wires

dataflow graph.

Kura Wires – Logical Blocks

• Computational Block - A Computational Block is a Logical Block,

capable of receiving, processing and emitting data to the connected

downstream logical blocks. It can be, for example, data store, data

filter, data publisher instances that will be used to manage data.

• Wire - A Wire is a logical connection between the Logical Blocks which

allows to define a concrete dataflow in Kura Wires.

• Asset - An Asset is a Logical Block that is capable of communicating

with specific sensors and/or actuators of Industrial Device using

specific protocol.

• Wire Graph - A Wire Graph is a dataflow graph comprising several

aforementioned Logical Blocks which represents an Industrial IoT

application scenario.
