2. Core Value of Qiji Gateway
01
Unified Heterogeneous Protocols
In the diverse protocol coexistence of the IoT ecosystem, the gateway plays a critical bridging role. In the complex environment with heterogeneous communication protocols such as Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and Z-Wave, the gateway integrates multi-mode communication interfaces to build a unified access platform, achieving seamless interconnection and collaborative operation of fragmented devices.
02
Protocol Interoperability and Conversion
Breaking communication barriers, the gateway accurately converts the heterogeneous “languages” (different protocols) from various devices or sensors into standardized languages (such as TCP/IP, HTTP, MQTT, etc.) used by the internet or cloud platforms, or performs reverse conversion to enable seamless cross-domain communication between devices and the cloud.
03
Data Aggregation and Processing
Real-time data collected from multiple connected devices is subjected to preliminary localized processing, including aggregation, filtering, and compression, executing edge computing logic. Processing done close to the data source effectively reduces the data transmission and computing load on the cloud and significantly enhances the real-time response of local operations.
04
Local Control and Automation
Equipped with a local rule engine, users can define automation scenarios locally on the gateway. Even if the internet is interrupted, these locally-based automation logics can continue to operate stably, significantly ensuring high reliability of core system functions and responsiveness of device interactions.
3. Common Application Scenarios
The Qiji gateway product integrates connection, conversion, computation, and control functions, supports multiple communication protocols, and possesses strong edge computing capabilities, making it an ideal choice for industrial IoT, smart cities, and building automation.
Industrial IoT
Connecting energy devices and sensors in factory workshops, converting data from various industrial protocols into IP protocols for transmission to industrial cloud platforms or servers. Achieving device monitoring, predictive maintenance, and process optimization.
Smart Cities
Connecting streetlights, smart manhole covers, and other urban infrastructure to build a smart city IoT platform, enabling remote monitoring, data collection, and intelligent management.
Building Automation
Managing lighting, air conditioning, elevators, cameras, and other devices within buildings to achieve intelligent control and refined management, improving building energy efficiency and comfort.
