Managing Fleets of Connected Devices
What it takes to monitor, configure, update and retire hundreds or thousands of connected devices, and why fleet tasks differ from looking after a single gadget.
Foundations and Building Blocks
Data and Device Management
Running many devices and handling the data they produce.
Cloud vs Local Processing for Devices
Should a connected device send its data away for processing or handle it nearby? Compare speed, cost, privacy, reliability and power use for each approach.
Dashboards and Alerts for Sensor Data
How to present sensor readings clearly and set alerts that people trust, including thresholds, delays, grouping and ways to avoid alarm fatigue.
Data Quality Problems in Sensor Streams
Common problems in sensor data, including gaps, spikes, duplicates and stuck values, along with basic, careful ways to detect and clean them.
Device Onboarding and Provisioning
How a new connected device gets its identity, credentials and settings when first connected, and the common approaches to doing this safely at scale.
Digital Twins Explained Simply
A plain explanation of digital twins: virtual models that mirror a real machine, building or system using sensor data, and the questions they can help answer.
Handling Lost Connections and Offline Devices
How connected devices cope when the network drops: buffering readings, retrying sensibly, keeping safe local behavior and catching up once the link returns.
Over-the-Air Updates Explained
How connected devices receive software updates remotely: how packages are delivered, checked for authenticity, installed safely and rolled back if something fails.
Time Series Data: How Sensor Readings Are Stored
Why timestamped sensor readings need specialized storage, how they are organized and compressed, and how retention and downsampling keep data affordable.
