WIP

WIP – Wzzard Integration Platform – relying on fog computing paradigm offers the possibility to integrate the IOT and IT world in Enterprise enviroment. Advantech B+B Wzzard is a wireless connectivity hardware platform for sensors of different nature. It's easy to implement and scalable and it's being realized with industrial standard so it offers high availability and can be used in remote and hostile environments.

The WIP is a software project developed by IT Distribuizione that adds computing capabilities to the wzzard in order to face the needs of IoT customers. WIP allows you to:

• gather information produced by the wzzard and saving them in a RDBMS
• show the relevant data through custom interfaces, to allow integration with existing softwares
• create alerting system and messages
• design dashboards for monitoring purposes
• analyse collected data with buisness intelligence instruments

WIP had been designed to be an open project and can be easily developed on the specific needs of the different customers and applications.

Infrastructure

WIP is a web application developed with java. Specifically the technological stack with 3 levels is based on oracle 11g Express Edition (licence free) for the database, Tomcat for the application server and apache for web server.

The choice of these techonologies was based on the stability and potentiality of enterprise level's components and at the same time it let us open to more structured solutions if more performances are needed..

The platform can be easily installed on a virtual linux server – in particular we use CentOS- that guarantees the best perfomances we can have from the hardware.
