The common recognition of company, for monitoring of tools alarms this particular problem, the things-internet gateway used in system, in Internet of Things or
It is a common and highly important key equipment in industry internet, is mainly responsible for the acquisition and forwarding of data.Usual Internet of Things
The hardware resource of net gateway is all more powerful, there is very strong computing capability, but if only carrying out the acquisition of data using it and turning
Hair, then actually its powerful computing capability is just completely wasted.This point makes full use of with device hardware resource is advocated
Industry development foreground be not consistent.
In conclusion how to design a kind of equipment alarm calculation processing system carried out in things-internet gateway and processing
Method makes full use of the computing capability of things-internet gateway, and to solve when access device is more, data volume is big, server calculates energy
Hypodynamic problem just becomes those skilled in the art's urgent problem to be solved.
