Serbian Grant Winner Mainflux Tackles the Toughest Industrial IoT Conditions

Earlier this year, IoT technology company Mainflux won a Serbian Innovation Fund grant funding the development of a new IoT gateway, powered by the EdgeX Foundry platform.

Called the MFX-1, the gateway is being developed from the ground up as an open source IoT solution capable of both server-side and edge computing.

One of 24 out of 137 projects to be given grants, Mainflux’s gateway concept competed with technology across software and application development, information-communication technologies, mechanics and mechanical engineering, new materials, and nanotechnology.

Operational since 2011, the Innovation Fund has been a pioneering effort to operationalize and institutionalize Serbian Government “Innovation Imperative Strategy imperative”, first by increasing the capacity of startups and resources available for their growth.

The combination of Mainflux’s IoT platform and its IoT Gateway based on EdgeX will provide a Mainflux IIoT System, leading open source full-featured system for IoT solutions development. EdgeX Foundry is a vendor neutral open source project building a common interoperability framework to facilitate an ecosystem for Internet of Things (IoT) edge computing. At the heart of the project is an interoperability framework hosted within a full hardware- and OS-agnostic reference software platform to enable an ecosystem of plug-and-play components that unifies the marketplace and accelerates the deployment of IoT solutions.

“It is important to emphasize that MFX-1 IoT Edge Gateway will be powered by The Linux Foundation’s EdgeX Foundry framework”, said Drasko Draskovic, Founder of Mainflux and the chief architect of the Mainflux IoT Platform and MFX-1 gateway. “Although these gateways can be deployed to run on a standard hardware, Mainflux is developing an optimized hardware platform to create an overall low-cost industrial IoT gateway solution” Draskovic added.

Mainflux is highly secure, scalable, open-source IoT platform written in Go and deployed in Docker. It serves as software infrastructure and set of microservices for development of the Internet of Things Solutions and deployment of Intelligent products.

Since obtaining the grant in the beginning of the year, Mainflux has been working on several fields in parallel, integrating them together, partnering with Solid Run and working together on the hardware solution with Quad 1GHz NXP i.MX6 ARM A9 with 2GB RAM and 8GB eMMC.

Industrical IoT use cases are targeted, including indoor and outdoor installations in the most challenge conditions – on oil rigs, or in agricultural fields, or in remote areas of the energy grid.  rough condition -

The gateway will support various types of wired and wireless connectivity radio modules and protocols  including WiFi, BLE, 3G/4G, CAT-M, NB-IoT and LoRa.

“With HW ready and functional, and enabled with U-Boot and Linux support via Yocto-crafted lean custom distribution, we were capable to run on the Go version of EdgeX tagged to an official California release,” Drasko Draskovic, Founder of Mainflux “We also developed MQTT connectors for EdgeX and connected the gateways with Mainflux IoT platform instances running in the cloud. From there we have continued work on System Management Service and we are working closely with EdgeX community in defining the APIs and specifications needed for implementation of this service.”

In parallel the company and EdgeX team are working on the implementation of a cloud application, a specific vertical solution for fleet management of EdgeX gateways. The backend includes a set of Dockerized microservices written in Go and with domain-driven architecture implemented via go-kit with the frontend and application-specific UI written in Angular.

“The whole solution will be offered as a Software-as-a-Service, running in the cloud and enabling management of thousands remotely dispersed EdgeX gateways and sensors and actuators connected to them,” Draskovic continued. “Together with the MFX-100 hardware and open-source Mainflux IoT platform we’ll offer a turnkey solution for industrial IoT set up - from the edge to the cloud.”

The company expects the MFX-100 solution to be commercially available in Q1 2019.

The EU’s support for the Innovation Fund has been instrumental in advancing Serbia’s innovation financing and promoting better integration between the research and private sectors. The Fund is thus an important step towards closer links between Serbia’s and EU’s research communities and innovation ecosystems.

The Mainflux project has been financed by the Innovation Fund from the budget of the Republic of Serbia from the division of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development, through the Serbia Competitiveness and Jobs Project (loan agreement with the World Bank).

Thermal Analysis of Foods

Many food products can be analyzed by thermal analysis as to certain effects and properties, among which the more important are marked with a spot.

For this experiment, seeds available commercially from a health food store were used.

Conditions

Measuring cell: DSC20

Pan: Aluminum standard, 40 µl, hermetically sealed

Reference: About 40 µl in a sealed pan

Sample preparation: The seeds are milled, aqueous extraction performed at pH 4.5, centrifuged, and the supernatant discarded. The residue is subjected to re-extraction at pH 8.5, the supernatant is evaporated under vacuum until the dry substance content is obtained.

DSC measurement: Heating performed from 30 °C to 110 °C at 5 K/min

Interpretation

Four vegetable proteins of different types were studied in the untreated state. Each of the four curves shows an endothermic peak between 72 °C and 100 °C, which is typical for protein denaturation. A difference is seen in the heat stability and enthalpy of denaturation of the proteins.

The sample weight was comparable for all the samples, as well as the protein concentrations. Thus the peak integrals were in direct correspondence to the specific reaction enthalpies.

The highest temperature sensitivity was seen with spelt, which also has the greatest enthalpy of denaturation. Wheat proteins already undergo denaturation to a great extent at 86 °C, soybean protein remains intact in the main, at this point, and only at 88 °C is it denatured to any significant degree.

Grain and oilseed proteins have enthalpies of denaturation within a range of 3-10 J/g protein. The enthalpy changes with respect to the protein phase. Thus in the native condition of a grain or oilseed the enthalpy of denaturation is lower than when it has been dissolved in aqueous solution.

DSC measurement of denatured protein fraction in processed samples of protein is of better quality if the enthalpy of denaturation of native protein is higher.

The heating rate can be freely selected with DSC which could improve the measurement as well as the detection of the reactions. With a higher rate of heating, the detected signal becomes larger with a larger measured peak. The peak area calculated remains the same under the same conditions of reaction. However, if the rate of heating is high the reaction occurs at elevated temperatures. Cold Chain MOnitoring Is very important in this case. 

DSC can identify vegetable proteins but this is not likely to be widely used in practice, and is also made more difficult by the fact that the reaction enthalpy differs with the protein type and growth conditions. Thus a reference in the form of a native protein must be used when the degree of denaturation is being assessed.

The DSC curve provides a fingerprint of each sample of protein which is characteristic of the condition of the protein in the fraction.

Evaluation

Conclusion

These measurements illustrate that DSC can be used to analyze any product that contains protein. This is more applicable to animal proteins because of their higher concentration of protein (in animal muscle), the greater sensitivity of measurement and their natural state of occurrence in a watery environment.

Industrial Internet of Thing (IIoT) Platform in Reality and its Digital Transformation.

These are the Analysis done by Tenova Systems about the IIOT platform and its adoptions 

One of the greatest challenges companies are facing now are the adoption of right technologies in Internet of Things (IoT) platform. Building a right business case is the main challenges faced by companies and eventually to derive the financials and the funding. Mainly many of the companies don’t know exactly what they want from the Internet of things. They know that can improve their organizations asset reliability,  , increased product quality, remote monitoring, optimized production operations. These can be defined as new technology or upgrade of old technologies.

Introducing as a new technology initiative for the old use cases will be much more acceptable and chances of convincing the management for the financial proposals. Currently the industry has been successfully implemented in connecting assets in mining equipment, packaging equipment, test equipment, motor automation, cold chain management, etc.

Any way management believes that this new IIoT technology will enable them to improved asset monitoring and production performance. Even though management is trying to figure out the areas of benefits in the asset monitoring and production performance. On

IIoT Adoption and Challenges

It is now inevitable for the organizations to embrace modern technologies and platforms that enables more flexible and data analytics. In this scenario rich and scalable  IIoT platform is required to bring together application development capabilities, cloud, connectivity and data analytics capabilities. Now days the interest and intentions to invest in IIT platform technologies has increased.

Many companies are planning to invest in IIot Platform to automate their business process. This greatly increase the acceptance of the IIot platform interest. Now a days implementation of IIoT technology is considering as an advantage of early adopter. Now days the main problem companies facing are securing the budget and building a business case.

The gap in the industries for the adoption of IIoT is the cultural and maturity of the organization which operating in the specific industry. For decades industries companies have less focused on improving the productivity, safety, energy efficiency, and reliability and most of the IIOT business case is based on saving the previously mentioned areas. But currently this is done by traditional technologies and methodologies like Six Sigma, Business Intelligence, ERP etc.

Currently companies are left with two choices.

1.       Build a business case with IIOT and secure funding and early adoption of the technologies.

2.       Do nothing and wait and test for the  success of IIOT and implement at a later stage.
