IoT Data Acquisition & Integration

Data acquisition and integration are foundational components of the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling devices to collect, process, and utilize information from the physical world efficiently. Our IoT solutions span edge sensing, signal conditioning, embedded processing, and cloud-ready integration pipelines for industrial and commercial deployments.

1. IoT Data Acquisition

Data acquisition in IoT is the process of collecting data from sensors, devices, and embedded systems, converting it into digital formats, and preparing it for storage or immediate analysis.

Sensors

Capture physical parameters: temperature, humidity, pressure, vibration, motion, and electrical characteristics.

Signal Conditioning

Filters and prepares sensor outputs (analog or digital) for accurate, noise-free measurement before processing.

Embedded Systems

Process sensor data, implement acquisition logic, manage communication interfaces, and handle local storage.

Data Logging & Storage

Onboard memory, local servers, or cloud storage for collected datasets with time-series optimized databases.

Communication Interfaces
Wired:
Modbus RS485 RS232 CAN bus
Wireless:
Wi-Fi Bluetooth

2. IoT Data Integration

Data integration combines heterogeneous data from multiple IoT devices and external systems into a unified, coherent view for actionable insights.

Challenges
  • Heterogeneity — Diverse protocols, formats, and standards across devices
  • Scalability — High-velocity, high-volume data streams at massive scale
  • Semantic Interoperability — Consistent meaning across heterogeneous systems
  • Real-Time Latency — Critical in industrial automation and healthcare
  • Security & Privacy — Auth, encryption, access control, GDPR/HIPAA
Integration Strategies
  • IoT Platforms — AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub, Google Cloud IoT
  • Standard Protocols — MQTT, CoAP, OPC UA for reliable communication
  • Edge Computing — Preprocessing at source to reduce network load
  • iPaaS Integration — Connect IoT data with ERP, CRM, MES, WMS, BI

Intrusion Prevention / Alarm Camera System

Next-generation security powered by Intrusion Prevention/Alarm system using AI Camera. Our system uses advanced AI Camera recognition to detect unauthorized activity and trigger real-time alerts via Digital Output (DO) signals. The actual camera feed can still go to camera's dedicated NVR system for video recording. Only the Digital Output (DO) of the AI camera is used for Intrusion detection. Maximum 2 AI Cameras can be used with this system. Additionally, a door open/close sensor can be used to detect unauthorized openings of door or cabins.

Use Cases:

Ideal for Warehouses, Retail Spaces, Jewel shops, and Residential Areas to monitor unauthorised human activities and trigger Relay Controls, Hooter alarm and AC lighting loads.

Key Features:
  • 2x AI cameras trigger alarms via Digital Input (DI)
  • 1x Door open/close sensor connected via Analog Current Input (AI)
  • 1x Manual switch to activate/disable the system via AI
  • All AI inputs connected with 1K series resistor
  • 4x Relay control signals for external devices
  • DIN Rail mount relays suitable for Hooter alarm and AC lighting (10A–30A loads)
  • Relays have screw mount NC-COM-NO connections for easy wiring
  • For >30A loads, external Power Contactors can be used
  • WiFi/Ethernet connectivity to send smart alerts via SMS, WhatsApp, or Email
  • Low false positive rate for reliable alerts
  • 4x Green LEDs display each Relay On/Off status
  • 2x Green LEDs display Active/Disabled mode
