#iotfy

We support Arduino & Raspberry Pi and open hardware platforms. You can easily connect them to IoTfy. In our exclusive DIY section, you can get some inspiration on what type of projects you can do with these platforms. Besides this, we provide corporate solutions that cover a wide range of collaboration forms from pay per use to cloud deployments. With our everyday growing community, consisting of new projects and shareable knowledge, one can comment, question and seek answers anytime.

You know what else is interesting, you don’t need a single line of code for  data brokerage, data logging and REST API usage. IoTfy is designed to manage hundreds of millions of devices, projects and tonnes of data. With us you don’t worry about scalability, because we do it for you. We also care a lot for the privacy of our users. You can check our privacy policy and our terms of service by visiting our website.

What is important in IoT for small and medium businesses is to focus on the revenue growth. This can be done by selling new applications of existing products to current customers. Innovation and introduction of new products along with adding new users(Markets/geographic) are the crucial elements for consolidating market position. The IoT market is huge and offers numerous opportunities in terms of revenues. Consumer electronics alone is said to have revenue opportunity of USD 445bn.

But as all is being said, there are issues which needs immediate attention. The challenges like implementation, flexibility and maintenance are some of the biggest factors that will decide the market share of companies. Besides this, the major concern of the hardware developers is the security, adaptability and scalability issues. They should be addressed with sound strategies and solutions.

We are still way behind of using the full potential of IoT. At present only 47% of the C-suite executive seems to embark on IoT bandwagon to improve the ways in which their companies usually operates. The government, companies and consumers should come together to transcend the reach of IoT, which in present times primarily comprises of computer, Mobile phones and Tablet as ‘things’.

IoTfy provides open SDKs and Libraries for hardware platforms such as Raspberry Pi, Beagle Bone, Arduino, and custom hardware devices for easily connecting your devices to our cloud backend.

    2.  Secure Messaging Protocols

IoTfy provides secure two-way messaging service that allows you to send data from your server to your devices, and also to receive messages from devices on the same service.

    3.  REST APIs for Data Access

IoTfy also provides robust REST APIs to help you connect and access data coming from your devices and other 3rd party internet services.

    4. Trigger- Action Event mechanism

With IFTTT like Recipes & Recipe Store, IoTfy is about giving same power to the programmers as well as non-programmers. Our IFTTT like recipes help you exploit the true power of Internet. Further, our recipe store is an awesome tool for distribution of recipes.

   5.  User Management

The program is segregated into 5 sub-courses and has the flexibility to purchase each of the courses individually. The total price to enroll for the whole package is $264. This also includes a Capstone project which is designed to apply the skills you will develop through the course. The components of this comprehensive course are:

Introduction to the Internet of Things and Embedded Systems. 

The Arduino Platform and C Programming. 

Interfacing with the Arduino.

The Raspberry Pi and Python Programming for the Raspberry Pi. 

Interfacing with the Raspberry Pi.

Programming for the Internet of Things Capstone. 

The Logistics companies are using machine-to-machine (M2M) technology and believe that it will have a tremendous impact on Logistics and Supply Chain Management. This will have numerous advantages like gaining real-time transparency into transportation progress, optimizing inbound and hub-internal traffic to accelerate results, Increasing goods throughput and optimize infrastructure for maximum productivity, automating processes for a huge boost in efficiency, shrinking waiting times and the need for manual monitoring and the most important of all is reducing emissions and environmental impact.

Introducing IoT in Logistics will also help Logistics Companies to plan and schedule on time. It will improve the responsiveness and demand planning. The real time Supply Chain Execution and Inventory planning and Development can also be done very efficiently. With the emergence of lower cost, always connected, location aware devices, the current generation of mobile technology and the growing Internet of Things allows logistics companies to move beyond simply making existing processes better, by making it possible to dynamically track both vehicles and the packages they carry.
