Industrial IoT

Developing an effective cyber-physical system (CPS) requires the know-how to merge state-of-the-art IoT technology with advanced sensors, edge computing, cloud platforms, and AI-driven analytics to enable real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and autonomous operations. We provide both the hardware and the IIoT development experience that will help you integrate devices using protocols like MQTT and leverage cloud services like AWS. Build solutions capable of real-time analytics, self-healing network procedures, and smart resource management. Continuous uptime through intelligent resource management and predictive analytics. Finally, build all of this and more with integrated hardware and software security features for the complete package.

Industrial environments have many potential wireless connectivity interference sources, including the numerous client devices themselves. To effectively manage medium access and improve system robustness, custom network communication protocols are necessary. While 802.11ax utilizes OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) to allocate Radio Resource Units (RUs) for both uplink and downlink traffic based on the flow of data, it still faces limitations. We can help you address these challenges by implementing our proprietary hybrid multi-poll protocol solution, which combines the advantages of OFDMA and polling-based protocols like HCCA to mitigate self-interference and improve performance. This protocol uses EDCA ((Enhanced Distributed Channel Access) rules under low traffic conditions and SIFS bursting to optimize medium usage.

In more complex scenarios, this protocol can be further enhanced with custom channel allocation and frequency shifting techniques in real-time. These methods can dynamically adjust the available spectrum to reduce interference and further improve network efficiency and robustness.
