IoT Platform

IoT common base platform for that enables easy integration of edge devices and cloud services

Konica Minolta is developing its business in many fields under the strategy of Imaging IoT and AI. Thus, Konica Minolta has developed the FORXAI IoT Platform (IoT Platform, hereafter) as an IoT common base platform. IoT Platform is a technology that securely links edge devices with cloud services for management.
It can work with FORXAI Edge Device and FORXAI Imaging AI.

Followings are major functions:

Overview of IoT Platform

IoT Platform consists of three layers: cloud, edge, and device, each of which is equipped with necessary functions beforehand.

Cloud

APIs are provided for the storage and search of data processed by AI at edges, notification to the administrators, remote device monitoring, and so on.

Edge

Edges refer to processing machines such as computers installed in workplaces. Edges have functions such as receiving data from devices, processing the data by AI, and sending processing results to the cloud.

Device

Devices refer to input/output sensors installed in workplaces and embedded systems that control these sensors. Data collected by devices are sent to edges, where AI processing is performed.
