IoT Solutions
Open source components for IoT Devices
• Eclipse Edje provides an high-level API for accessing hardware features provided by microcontrollers (e.g GPIO, ADC, MEMS, etc.). It can directly connect to native libraries, drivers, and board support packages provided by silicon vendors.
• Eclipse Paho provides an implementation of the MQTT protocol.
• Eclipse Wakaama provides an implementation of the OMA LWM2M standard.
Integrated IoT Gateway and Smart Devices stacks
• Eclipse Kura provides a general purpose middleware and application Container for IoT gateway services.
• Eclipse SmartHome provides an IoT gateway platform that is specifically focused on the home automation domain.
• Eclipse 4diac provides an industrial-grade Open Source infrastructure for distributed industrial process measurement and control systems based on the IEC 61499 standard. 4DIAC is ideally suited for Industrie 4.0 and Industrial IoT applications in a manufacturing setting. The IEC 61499 standard defines a domain specific modeling language for developing distributed industrial control solutions by providing a vendor independent format and for simplifying support for Controller to Controller communication.
IoT Cloud Platform Stack
The IoT Cloud Platform represents the software infrastructure and services required to enable an IoT solution. An IoT Cloud Platform typically operates on a cloud infrastructure (e.g. OpenShift, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Cloud Foundry) or inside an enterprise data center and is expected to scale both horizontally, to support the large number of devices connected, as well as vertically to address the variety of IoT solutions. The IoT Cloud Platform will facilitate the Interoperability of the IoT solution with existing enterprise applications and other IoT solutions.
Cloud stacks
Eclipse Kapua is a modular platform providing the services required to manage IoT gateways and smart edge devices. Kapua provides a core integration framework and an initial set of core IoT services including a device registry, device management services, messaging services, data management, and Application Enablement. The goal of Eclipse Kapua is to create a growing ecosystem of micro services through the extensions provided by other Eclipse IoT projects and organizations.
Eclipse OM2M is an IoT Platform specific for the telecommunication industry, based on the oneM2M specification. It provides a horizontal Common Service Entity (CSE) that can be deployed in an M2M server, a gateway, or a device. Each CSE provides Application Enablement, Security, Triggering, Notification, Persistency, Device Interworking, Device Management.

Case Study
An IoT Software Suite to Connect Products to Customers' Business
Solair started in Italy in 2011 with the observation that enterprise software severely lagged behind consumer software in affordability and simplicity. They have worked with customers in many industries including smart cities, manufacturing, industrial machinery and retail. Solair has recently begun to expand to do business mainly in Japan, Germany and the United States.“There are still many companies that don’t completely understand how to benefit from the potential advantages of connected products and they are looking for ready to use solutions that are quick to implement and bring measurable economic results,” said Martina Casani, Marketing Director, Solair. With a background in enterprise software, Solair now focuses on addressing business needs through end-to-end IoT solutions including an IoT Platform, a suite of IoT software modules and an IoT Gateway. “We started on the software side of IoT, but our customers were asking us for help on the hardware side,” said Casani. “We began to integrate an IoT Gateway in addition to software to help our customers from start to finish as they build an IoT application that collects data from the edge and brings it to the cloud.”
Case Study
Monitoring Industrial Power Distribution
OmSense is a family of products to monitor and manage industrial sensors. Most of these sensors are found in computer centers or production environments with large energy requirements. As Kevin and John developed the product they wanted it to come preinstalled on industrial hardware, with the ability to be up-and-running within minutes of installation
