Development for IoT projects is highly complex. At a time when enterprise expectations of connected technology are rising – to deliver on intelligence, security and robustness – practitioners and managers are looking to expand the skills at their disposal.

Things have changed since the rise of the Internet of Things at the dawn of the last decade. Greater data demands – endpoints absorbing voice, video and real-time sensory information, and the advantages of new IoT gateways that bring compute into the edge, all throw up fresh dilemmas for the IoT practitioner to consider.

Containers, microservices, cloud credit budgets and embedded intelligence – all must be examined in the light of the specific IoT application at hand, along with the enterprise’s specific requirements.

Tiny-ML and AI at the edge: Embedding intelligent data recognition

One of the biggest lesson of IoT’s first decade has been the tardiness of actuating insights from inbound data. For many enterprise IoT applications the need to ferry information to the cloud, before relevant data can even be selected, has been a massive bottleneck.

Now two years into its conception – a new breed of artificial intelligence implementation is a potential means to turn this paradigm on its head. Tiny machine learning scripts are automatically trained to spot valuable data and reduce the operational burden of cloud-side analytics. Meanwhile, vendors are responding with new processing units specifically empowered for IoT devices.

Picking the Right Hardware

Today’s IoT practitioners are faced with a plethora of hardware choices, just as the semiconductor industry is ramping up its offering. The need to plan effectively has never been so pronounced – should your organization need to scale the solution, then the project will need an architecture that does incur untenable penalties in terms of licensing fees and performance. New options from the likes of open-source chip architecture RISC-V and a gamut of entries for the usual suspects have made IoT hardware highly competitive – but the practicalities of development will always govern which selection works best.
