Case Study on Existing IoT Platform and Approach for Local IoT Platform
TL;DR
An overview of the IoT architecture is provided, comparing leading IoT platform such as AWS and Microsoft Azure vendor to understand the overall architecture of these platforms and explore their main cores for potential customization in developing a proprietary IoT platform.
Abstract
—The Internet of Things (IoT) is a paradigm facilitating the interconnection of physical objects and devices via the internet, enabling data collection and exchange. As the adoption of IoT continues to grow, the need for a deep understanding of IoT platforms becomes crucial. This paper provides an overview of the IoT architecture, comparing leading IoT platform such as AWS and Microsoft Azure vendor. The objective is to understand the overall architecture of these platforms and explore their main cores for potential customization in developing a proprietary IoT platform. Additionally, the study includes selecting a GPS device to get location for testing Asset Tracking in the platform as proof-of-concept, using an ESP32 acts as a communication gateway, and the software implementation is Arduino IDE. The research concludes by laying the groundwork for a case study, examining an existing IoT platform, and proposing an approach to develop an IoT platform based on local specific needs.
