Engineering notesBMS, GTB, CVC and the Décret BACS: A Building Data Guide
What BMS, GTB, GTC and CVC mean, what the French Décret BACS requires, and how to get building data out of a closed head-end with open edge connectivity.
Engineering notesCMMS vs EAM: Connecting Machine Data to Maintenance Software
What CMMS and EAM software actually do, how they differ, and how runtime hours and fault codes from the edge turn either one from reactive guesswork into planned maintenance.
Engineering notesEdge Computing for Industrial IoT
Where computation should sit between a machine and the cloud: how latency, bandwidth cost, and offline resilience push processing onto the gateway, and what that buys you.
Engineering notesNB-IoT vs LTE-M vs LoRaWAN vs Sigfox for Industrial IoT
A practical comparison of the main LPWAN technologies: range, power, data rate, mobility, and cost, with a decision guide for choosing one for industrial deployments.
Engineering notesM2M vs IoT: Connectivity, SIMs and Gateways
What machine-to-machine (M2M) means, how it differs from IoT, and why the connectivity layer of SIMs and gateways and the application layer have to be designed together.
Engineering notesRouter vs Gateway in Industrial IoT: What to Use and When
Router, IoT gateway, protocol gateway, or edge computer? What each device actually does, how their roles overlap, and a plain decision guide for industrial connectivity.
Engineering notesWhat Is SCADA and What Is an RTU?
A plain guide to SCADA and the RTU: what each one is, how the sensor to PLC to RTU to SCADA chain fits together, and where an open edge gateway acts as a modern RTU.
Engineering notesBuilding Data-Sovereign IoT Platforms in Europe
How to keep machine data under EU jurisdiction and customer control: residency at the storage layer, EU-hosted MQTT brokers, gateway-side encryption, and the Data Act portability rights that procurement now asks about.
Engineering notesOTA Updates for Industrial Gateways: Best Practices
Secure, reliable OTA firmware updates for industrial gateways: rollback strategies, delta updates, signing pipelines, and deployment patterns for production fleet environments.
Engineering notesFrom CAN Bus to Cloud: A Practical Telematics Architecture
How a single signal travels from a CAN frame on the drivetrain to a row in the cloud, and the decisions that matter at each hop: J1939 decoding, edge filtering, MQTT transport, and store-and-forward.
Engineering notesHow to Retrofit Industrial Machines for Telematics
A field guide to adding telematics to machines that were never designed for it: reading the data that exists, adding sensors for the data that does not, and surviving the install on a working asset.
