Words from the expert, Wade Brantley, the CEO of ScienceSoft USA

What’s the key to delivering exquisite and affordable IoT solutions?

A well-built architecture and a lean approach. Instead of stuffing an IoT solution with all the imaginable features, we suggest starting with a solution built on a simple foundation and then expanding it with more advanced architecture components. Another point to consider is minimizing the volume of analyzed data. Although in theory, IoT systems can feature thousands of sensors taking hundreds of readings per minute, not every IoT system needs it.

Are there any IoT-specific challenges and how do you manage to overcome them?

IoT development poses a number of challenges, but integration and security are the issues customers are most concerned about. IoT solutions should be seamlessly integrated with existing systems and processes. For example, designing an industrial IoT solution, we need to think about connecting different types of machines (some may be outdated) and integrating an IIoT solution with a corporate ERP or MES.

IoT systems have specific security threats. Connected things generate enormous amounts of data, which need to be securely transmitted and protected. Another point of concern is protecting the things from being taken over under hackers’ control via the cloud. With more than 13 years of expertise in information security, we help businesses to identify threats and fix security vulnerabilities.
