Direct Insight, working with its data management partner, ITTIA, will host a free online training workshop ‘Data Driven Embedded/IoT Design’. It will discuss how embedded developers can best architect their systems to manage large volumes of critical sensor data in their embedded IoT applications.
“The volume, complexity and criticality of sensor data has increased exponentially in modern embedded systems,” explained David Pashley, Co-Founder and Managing Director, Direct Insight. “Many systems now combine data from multiple sensors, adapting dynamically to triggers generated in real-time from within the data, or from AI. It’s possible to streamline your data handling, responding in real-time, and reducing storage and Cloud overheads. The starting point is to consider data architecture and real-time flow early in your embedded or IoT product design—not shoehorn it after you’ve selected your software and hardware. This is the essence of ‘data driven design’.”
Traditionally, structuring real-time streaming data using a database hasn’t always been easy when designing a resource-constrained system. Increasing data bandwidth and value means reviewing this orthodoxy is necessary.
In the half an hour webinar and live demo, subject matter experts from Direct Insight and ITTIA will outline the advantages of data driven design, demonstrating how, with the aid of data management tools, developers can create flexible, configurable data structures that will enable the data to drive your system log in real time.
In systems with a distributed sensor/controller topology, the experts will also demonstrate how it’s possible to seamlessly query data across connected nodes including low-power MCUs and high-performance MPUs, allowing live data analysis to span the network.
Where AI and ML is used, this requires an approach that allows Edge data to be pre-processed and conditioned in real-time. For instance, where AI is used for anomaly detection, data capture can be dynamically adjusted according to AI outputs, empowering predictive maintenance, and other modalities where value is gained in real-time from data.
During the webinar, Direct Insight and ITTIA will demonstrate:
- Transactional table, streaming and time series data management capabilities with the ITTIA DB platform
- Integration with MCU (STM32) and MPU (i.MX9) targets running RTOS/Linux
- Real-time data observatory and analytics platform with ITTIA Analitica
- Live analysis of streaming data over multiple network nodes
