In a recent release, Telchemy, provider of embedded analytics technology for VoIP and Video, announced the introduction of Embiot, a compact embedded analytics application for IoT devices, sensors and gateways. Embiot provides analytics functionality and is programmed using simple, high level language. This advanced agent technology is able to process multiple streams of independent or correlated data, distilling complex time varying data into a set of useful analytics. Telchemy has extensive field experience in Edge Analytics with an installed base in excess of 300 million agents that provide analytics for real time services.
Embiot is exceptionally easy to use, requiring no software development expertise to use, and taking minutes to configure the agent to analyze and report data. Embiot's integrated run-time compiler allows configuration to be easily modified in the field or updated from a remote configuration server. This self contained real time application can be deployed on a wide range of gateways, devices and smart sensors, providing local analytics, making devices and sensors smarter, and sending actionable data to the Cloud.
Embiot is a small application that requires a tiny fraction of the compute power of a device or small gateway, is approximately 100 kb in size and uses a minimal amount of memory. It is very simple to program, understands algebra and provides a library of over 60 statistical, mathematical, logic and advanced functions, ranging from simple logs and square roots to filters, thresholding, interpolation, fuzzy logic and neural network functions. Internally Embiot uses an embedded stream processing model which is able to handle multiple streams of data arriving at different rates, asynchronous and correlated data.
Embiot is able to process high volumes of sensor data if needed, reducing the volume and bandwidth of data sent to the Cloud. It can correlate time varying data locally, reducing the need to sent frequent samples. Sensor manufacturers can use Embiot to take single measurement outputs from sensors and create a wealth of useful analytics. As Embiot is remarkably simple to configure, IoT vendors can easily provide analytics solutions tailored to specific customers.
