Wireless Internet of Things (IoT) Starter Kit With GPS & GSM Monitors Fill Levels
Posted by on
Pepperl+Fuchs introduced a level sensor that transmits its data to a secure remote station in the industrial Internet of Things. The IoT sensor WILSEN.sonic.level comes with a bundle that includes a starter package with the WILSEN.service and a business data platform, which allows users to determine the value of the IoT system for their application.
With the WILSEN.sonic.level, Pepperl+Fuchs presents an ultrasonic wireless sensor for monitoring fill levels in portable containers, tanks, and silos. Also, the battery-operated device determines the geolocation of the container and transmits the collected data via a GSM or LoRaWAN connection to a defined collection point on the Internet. The WILSEN.service ensures the secure exchange of data and also allows centralized management of all IoT sensors in the field. In turn, software systems and data platforms for business data processing can be connected to the service.
Pepperl+Fuchs has compiled an entry-level starter kit that includes all of the components required to form a working IoT system. This package allows interested parties to get started with the Internet of Things even without prior knowledge so that they can gather experience in their process environment.
Take a practitioner's approach in analyzing the Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the security issues challenging an IoT architecture.
You’ll review the architecture's central components, from hardware communication interfaces, such as UART and SPI, to radio protocols, such as BLE or ZigBee. You'll also learn to assess a device physically by opening it, looking at the PCB, and identifying the chipsets and interfaces.
You'll then use that information to gain entry to the device or to perform other actions, such as dumping encryption keys and firmware.
As the IoT rises to one of the most popular tech trends, manufacturers need to take the necessary steps to secure devices and protect them from attackers.
The IoT Hacker's Handbook breaks down the Internet of Things, exploits it, and reveals how these devices increase securely.
