Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how
vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is.
I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road
to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space.

45. Choose DDS?
• Are there severe consequences if offline for a few mins/secs/msecs?
• Have you said “millisecond” or “microsecond” in the last 2 weeks?
• Do you have more than 10 programmers?
• Does your data have many destinations?
• Are you building a next-generation IIoT design?
©2017 Real-Time Innovations, Inc.
3+ Yes?
©2017 Real-Time Innovations, Inc.

46. OPC UA
• Device-Centric Object-Oriented
Framework
– Device models for common devices
– Integrate devices into workcells
– Client-server architecture
– Browseable address space
– New simple UDP pub-sub

47. Choose OPC UA?
• Are you in in discrete manufacturing?
• Are you building a device that will be integrated by non-software
types?
• Will your product be used in different applications in different
systems, as opposed to a single (type of) system where you control
the architecture?
• Have you said the word “workcell” in the last two weeks?
3+ Yes?
©2017 Real-Time Innovations, Inc.

48. OneM2M
• Common Service Layer Architecture
– Services provided by telco
– Platform Tier (cloud) applications can
seamlessly connect to diverse IoT devices
over many protocols
• Targets home automation, large
mobile systems
• Typical uses
– Register and connect to devices and
applications
– Charge an account for service
– Manage application and devices
– Monitor systems
©2017 Real-Time Innovations, Inc.

49. Choose OneM2M?
• Do you know what “ICT” stands for, and is that you?
• Is the cellular network your primary connection technology?
• Are your target applications largely composed of moving parts?
• Can the components of your system tolerate intermittent connections
and loosely-controlled latencies?
• Will your system leverage services provided by a communications
provider such as a telco?
3+ Yes?
©2017 Real-Time Innovations, Inc.

50. MQTT: Collect Device Data
Message Queuing
Telemetry Transport
(MQTT)
Collect data
from sensors
For cloud
MQTT does not qualify as a core connectivity
standard because it has no standard type system

51. Choose MQTT?
• Do you think of your application as data collection?
• Is there little device-device communications?
• Is interoperability not a consideration?
• Do you have many small devices?
• Is software a minor challenge?
©2017 Real-Time Innovations, Inc.
