IOTRONICS™
WEAVING, AUTOMATING, ORCHESTRATING.
BLUWIRED IOTRONICS is a paradigm based on virtualization of electronic engineering technologies. It was created and specifically tailored to address important technical constraints found in Internet-based distributed systems.
IOTRONICS harnesses the value of concurrency, parallelism, dynamic scalization, synchronization, data coherency, multi-process debugging, global wiring, mixed-signal parallel buses and datxel processing. Unleashing the power of these components through IOTRONICS provides an unmatched mechanism for orchestrating workflows within complex process automation solutions.
BLU NODES
IOTRONICS provides a subtle surface layer where huge scale integration (HSI) devices are wired to create highly functional modules called Blu Nodes. A Blu Node can operate autonomously and perform iterable functions, from sending emails to analyzing ECG streaming waves.
Blu Nodes can operate on workflow layers above the surface layer, where they can be wired to create more complex process automation solutions.
GLOBAL WIRING
IOTRONICS includes firewall-safe global wiring. Global wires are super fast wires, which support one-to-many interconnections of analog, digital, mixed-signal and multi-channel data. Global wires are double-shielded secure and end-point devices must present authentication certificates to establish a connection.
IOTRONICS CAN BE APPLIED TO THE EMERGING WORLD OF THE INTERNET OF THINGS. IT IS UNIQUELY SUITED TO PROGRAMMING FOR BIG DATA, IOT & M2M.
The main virtue of the IOTRONICS paradigm is that it hides from the user all the complexity of the inner technologies. It presents an environment that's as friendly as working with spreadsheets.
DEVELOP FOR THE BIG PICTURE
Designed to empower IoT and real-time distributed applications. The fabric minimizes the need for complex coding infrastructure, removing barriers to the successful development and delivery of distributed applications.
PARALLEL COMPUTATION ACCELERATION
The Bluwired Parallel Computation Acceleration Model is based on Alpha-Clone technology. It provides a well-defined process distribution mechanism to easily split processing amongst clone nodes within a server or servers located anywhere in the world. It provides the means to perform distributed parallel data processing tasks over big data sets under a controlled environment.
IMPROVE SYNCHRONIZAION
IOTRONIC's synchronization protocol helps solve the problem of providing safe distributed data coherency across interconnected devices. The built-in multi-threaded framework guarantees data synchronization and order across all devices.
Based on Electronic Engineering Principles
Addresses Distributed Data Coherency, Per Processing Cycle
Wire components for process automation within industrial, military, medical, scientific and business solutions.
- IOTRONICS supports parallel data buses (similar to the ones found in microprocessor systems), with the added benefit that it expands the digital-only, parallel-data-bus concept into a completely new parallel-hybrid-bus concept. The parallel-hybrid-bus data lines can handle any one of these types: Digital, Floating Point, Fixed Point, Currency, Time, Text, Datxels and Wavexels.
- IOTRONICS enhances the ubiquitous concept of database record processing into a much broader approach that includes the processing of continuous data from linear systems. The information processing density is raised by using a novel scheme based on Digital Signal Processing (DSP) concepts, to achieve concurrent processing of different streams of data types across parallel-hybrid-buses.
- IOTRONICS' synchronization protocol additionally addresses arbitration and delay constraints present in multi-processing systems.

- Iotronics uses mixed-signal parallel buses to allow simultaneous processing of analog and digital data. Iotronics processors can perform processing cycles on continuous streams of mixed-signals arriving from parallel buses. Iotronics processing of mixed-signal is possible thanks in great part to the use of Datxels and Wavexels.
