Embedded Products
Siemens delivers embedded software solutions that enable device manufacturers to quickly design and build high quality connected devices, including those with rich user interfaces, cloud-based remote management, or requiring safety certification. Base technologies include Linux, the Nucleus real-time operating system, advanced multicore runtime and IoT enablement and development tools.
Device-to-Cloud Integration
A cloud backend for an IoT solution can be based on public, private, or hybrid cloud. The backend may only need a single connection to a device in order to enable telemetry data upload, or it may need tighter integration to provide device management, firmware updates, or advanced diagnostics and debug functions. The device may be connected with the cloud directly over the public Internet or it can use a gateway to enable cloud integration. The device can also use more fragmented approach where it may be integrated with different backbends for control and data functions.
Embedded IoT Framework Add-on provides flexibility to integrate devices to support various cloud backend configurations.
Securing IoT Solutions
Security is one of toughest challenges within IoT system development today and a comprehensive approach can save businesses from a multitude of possible cybersecurity threats and breaches.
As more and more systems and devices are connected to enterprise and cloud infrastructures, the attack surface increases as devices are exposed to security risks and vulnerabilities. A sound security strategy incorporates the latest technologies, accounts for quality processes, and encompasses the people involved in both the system design and deployment phases of products that are in use.
End-to-End IoT Solutions
Developing an end-to-end IoT Solution requires stitching together components from a diverse set of technologies. For “things” or devices you need embedded developers, but for all the back-end and front-end web or mobile applications you need developers with a different skillset e.g. web developers. This need to integrate and develop on a broad spectrum for a successful IoT solution has put a strain on organizations to build diverse teams quickly and cost effectively. Siemens Embedded IoT solution can help organizations overcome this challenge in a scalable fashion.
Siemens Embedded IoT Solution comes enabled with various cloud platforms and also bundles reference web and Mobile applications that allow users to remotely interact with their smart devices or intelligent edge. The reference applications are developed in the Mendix low code application development platform.
Intelligent Edge and Smart Devices
In the context of the Internet of Things an Intelligent Edge or a smart device are characterized by different connectivity, security, and advanced processing capabilities.
Smart Devices - Cloud connected smart devices need to implement device services like telemetry, remote configuration and control, firmware updates, device health monitoring, diagnostics. Siemens Embedded IoT Solution enables to quickly build smart devices using leading cloud platforms e.g. Microsoft® Azure®, Amazon® Web Services®, or Siemens MindSphere.
Intelligent Edge – In addition to all the features applicable to a smart device, intelligent edge devices provide capabilities to locally process data and provide a local response without incurring cloud latency overheads. Siemens Embedded IoT solution offers a diverse set of capabilities to implement an intelligent edge. So whether you want to build a lightweight edge solution using containerized applications or want to leverage more feature rich industry solutions like Azure IoT Edge they are fully integrated and available out of the box.
