Assetwolf: a cloud-based IoT platform, for all kinds of internet of things devices.
Assetwolf facilitates fast prototyping for designers and developers. It allows you to connect a device to the cloud and quickly develop an application, with data analysis, event/alarm triggers, user-privilege access control and more.
Although Assetwolf is a self-service product, it is supported by a dedicated team of skilled developers, who can add creative design and custom developments to your project.
Easy-to-use Web-based Interface
Assetwolf is a cloud-based platform with a mobile-friendly, secure interface.
Easy to Connect to your Data
You can send data from any "thing" — or asset — to Assetwolf, whatever and wherever it is. It can be via Ethernet, Wifi, GSM/mobile, Bluetooth or other means.
Assetwolf accepts data via HTTP GET requests, and via MQTT. Various Secure (SSL/TLS) options are available.
Control your Assets Remotely
You can take control over your asset from the Assetwolf cloud portal.
For example, this allows you to send a command to an asset, to update its firmware.
Organise your Things, and Scale
All Assets are arrange by Asset Type, and through Asset Types it is possible to define the data schema for every "thing".
A data schema may contain meta data (static field values); incoming data (values that the asset sends to the cloud); and calculated fields.
Use Powerful Calculations
Assetwolf includes the Phi calculation system.
This allows you to perform mathematical and scientific calculations on the fly. The results can be stored for display on graphs, or can be used in Triggers to raise an alarm.
Phi has a familiar mathematical syntax, so you'll find it easy to write simple equations, but also powerful to write loops, and include data in your calculations from other assets or an asset's historical values.
Get the Big Picture
The advanced Data Pools feature provides a means of aggregating data from several assets, and then displaying averages, maxima or minima, or other calculated values.
For example, you may want to monitor data from assets in a given geographical location (such as a building), or in areas or sub-areas within that location (such as a floor, a zone or a room). Data Pools make this aggregation possible, and in real time, with data "bubbling up" from asset level to area or location level, as it arrives.
This allows the creation of key performance indicators (KPIs). So in real-time, you can monitor the overall performance of assets.
Event Triggers and Procedures
You can define Triggers based on the condition of Assets or Data Pools.
At it simplest, you can define thresholds (such as too-low or too-high temperature levels for a sensor). When either a warning or an alarm threshold is crossed, a Procedure is triggered.
In more advanced scenarios, you can apply Triggers to Data Pools, so that you are monitoring performance of a fleet of things, rather than trying to monitor things individually.
You can even apply Schedules, so that condition monitoring only triggers an alarm at certain times of day, or certain days of the week.
External Data Sources
You can develop advanced calculations which reference external data sources as well as your own assets.
For example, you could cross-reference mobile asset' geo-locations and speed with externally-sourced traffic reports. Or you might cross reference weather sensors' readings with weather forecasts.
User access control
Assetwolf has powerful group-based system, so that you can determine which users can view data, receive or acknowledge alarms, or make changes.
In our B2B type systems, you can define companies or organisations, and then define physical locations inside them. Then relate both users and assets with those locations. For example, you can for example allow users to view and control assets at their own locations, but simply view data at other locations in their company.
Reports
You can define PDF reports that are generated on a regular basis. These can show graphs of performance, and key events (such as alarms) that occurred in the reporting period.
Even if raw data from assets is deleted after its expiry time, PDF reports can be preserved for the long-term.
This means that where audit records are needed (for example, to show that no assets were out-of-spec) they can easily be preserved.
Embed
You may want to make performance graphs that are publicly accessible, and which even appear on a separately-hosted website.
Assetwolf allows you to take an "embed code" for a slide of information and display it on a separate site.
Although Assetwolf can operate as a standalone website or extranet, you can keep your existing website as it is, and simply run Assetwolf alongside it.
