IoT retailers need better privacy and security? Meet thethings.iO blinder for retailers
Let me tell you a true story. We have a client connecting their products to the Internet with thethings.iO IoT platform. Let’s say that they are manufacturing fridges. And they are the second-best company in the world. Nevertheless, they do not sell directly to clients, they sell through retailers. Some of them are industrial retailers, […]
Create alerts with thethings.iO IoT platform
At thethings.iO IoT platform we love to give power to the IoT developers. This is the reason why since the very beginning we created the Cloud Code framework. The Cloud Code framework enables anyone to apply any algorithm on the top of the data, in real-time, every hour, every day or whenever. Nevertheless, a lot […]
Tracking the coffee from production to the cup with Blockchain, IoT and thethings.iO
At thethings.iO IoT platform, we love to work with students. In this case, Carles was doing his engineering thesis at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) on a very exciting topic, Blockchain on the asset tracking coffee world. The necessity to improve the working conditions of coffee exporting countries combined with the high demand of this […]
Connect anything to thethings.iO IoT platform with HTTP/S and your JSON
On this post we would like to show you how to connect anything using HTTP/S and your JSON. We used to get contacted by IoT developers and companies who were having devices already connected with their own JSON structures. Usually they wanted to move to thethings.iO IoT platform, so this is the reason why we […]
Asset Tracking Success Story on the Automotive Industry
At thethings.iO we have been working during the last twelve month on the thethings.iO Solutions. One of the most successful IoT Solution is related with the asset tracking and more concrete with a complete Internet-connected plastic pallet for automobile industries. Here you can find more details on thethings.iO Asset Tracking Solution Success Story. At thethings.iO […]
Chatbots and Internet of Things with thethings.iO IoT platform
Most of the IoT projects where thethings.iO works today use a mobile application as a user interface. Some of these users are different actors of the project, can go from final clients to technicians or managers. That means that some of them don’t need any specific user experience, they just need an interface to interact […]
How to integrate Prometheus time series with thethings.iO IoT platform
Today we would like to explain how to integrate the Prometheus time series server and database with thethings.iO IoT platform using exclusively thethings.iO Cloud Code Functions and Triggers. Rendering real-time sensor data is not a problem with thethings.iO IoT platform but computing historical metrics – like how many times a button has been pressed within […]
Benchmark IoT platforms for Sigfox products
Today we have the pleasure to publish an invited guest post made by a UPC student. Daniel Torán Mercadé was a student of the Department of Electronic Engineering at ETSEIB-UPC and he has been working on a master thesis named Comparison of different Internet of Things Platforms. Dani tested different IoT platforms such as AWS, […]
Geocoding location coordinates to addresses from GPS-trackers
Today we talk about geocoding. Geocoding is a very interesting art! Geocoding consist of converting addresses (e.g. streets) into geographic GPS coordinates (i.g. latitude and longitude). On the other hand, we have reverse geocoding that is the reverse process: transforming a pair of geographic GPS coordinates into an address (street with number and city). You […]
3 Reasons to Start Tracking Your Assets on the Supply Chain with IoT
Let’s imagine, you are the operations VP of a company or even the country manager of a European company who needs to get profitability of the operations of your assets. How are you going to optimize the supply chain of your company? Nowadays the cost associated at the information from your supply chain is cost […]
