A true IoT architecture of devices and micro-services aimed at business
and not just technology.

Symplio has developed its technology in order to be able to build an architecture of devices and services that enables the creation of robust, scalable and modular IoT solutions. This technology establishes the mechanisms to incorporate new requirements for Symplio products and solutions, thanks to its capacity to easily and quickly manage the devices and services, activating or deactivating them depending on the business needs.

Characteristics of Symplio technology:

  • Connectable: Solutions supporting the main communication protocols of IoT technologies.

  • Scalable: Solutions that are designed for being able to grow depending on the business needs. Read more
  • Intelligent: Collecting data to create a new type of knowledge and facilitating decision-making. Read more
  • Secure: Symplio’s technology is carefully designed in accordance with market security standards. Read more

This technology covers the three components that are integrated in the IoT architecture: devices, gateways and services.

DEVICES

Symplio develops its own devices to build the best IoT solutions.

The modular design, real time configurations, and the expansion and updating of firmware enable the devices to rapidly incorporate new functions and services.

By incorporating different types of components in the electronics (sensors), implementing different interaction technologies (LED, Augmented reality...) and communication technologies (NFC, BLE...), the devices form part of different IoT solutions.

See the range of devices of our GohFans solution.

GATEWAYS

Within our technological architecture, Symplio has developed a series of gateways in order to free the devices of processing, communication and data aggregation functions. Symplio resolves energy consumption and cost problems, when its devices or third parties demand greater computing capacity.

These gateways are presented in a physical and low consumption device format, based on Raspberry PI, and in a series of software components in SDK format for IoS and Android.

Thanks to these gateways, the integration of third party IoT devices (beacons, Apple iWatch...) is facilitated along with the incorporation of Symplio IoT solutions on existing applications.

SERVICES

The conception of Symplio solutions has generated the need to create and use a whole micro-services architecture, enabling different types of technology (PHP, Java and Node.js) to come together on a single platform.

Symplio groups its IoT architecture into four large services groups:

  • IoT infrastructure services

    Enabling the execution of all operations to ensure the management of devices, communication, scalability and security of the Symplio core components.

  • Business application services

    Supporting the different micro-services that are specific to each of the Symplio solutions depending on the business activity sector

  • Big Data services

    Optimising to collect and analyse millions of events per seconds, providing batch, real-time and predictive analytics.

  • External communication services

    Web portals and dashboards enable users the interaction with Symplio services. Well-defined interfaces allow data and services integration with external companies.

This services architecture is built on a set of descriptive, manageable and secure APIs.
