Although IoT device management plays a crucial role in the success of the IoT, it is often overlooked. This is because businesses that are just starting to deploy IoT usually do not understand why it is necessary. This article will delve into the five critical reasons why IoT device management platforms are essential in the IoT value chain.
The IoT device management platform helps solution developers shorten development and testing time to bring products to market in a timely manner. Additionally, the architecture of IoT allows users to easily deploy at scale and drive future developments of IoT solutions. Furthermore, simplifying and automating network and device management tasks allows users to focus on core competencies and effectively reduce costs.
2. Enable and Disable Devices
Smart devices do not automatically connect to the IoT, and for user information security, they should not connect automatically. IoT device management tools can help users configure and add devices in a straightforward manner. Through a web interface, users can register endpoints and connect them to authorized base stations (using their network keys and credentials) to authenticate them and establish secure communication. Only authenticated nodes are allowed to join the network and transmit data securely through network-level encryption. Similarly, if deployed nodes are no longer needed, users can easily remove them from the network user interface.
3. Simplify Network Monitoring and Troubleshooting
As IoT deployments expand to hundreds or even thousands of geographically dispersed nodes, manual troubleshooting methods become inefficient and costly. On the other hand, if endpoints are left completely unattended, there is a risk of not receiving critical business data when it is needed most. IoT device management platforms provide users with a detailed view of all network traffic, registered nodes, and their statuses. If users have multiple base stations in one network, it can serve as a central hub to aggregate data across stations, which is particularly useful for monitoring and diagnosing unexpected issues with the network and devices.
4. Simplify Deployment and Management of Downstream Applications
The IoT device management platform also acts as a bridge between edge networks and the user’s downstream data servers and enterprise applications. Users can seamlessly deploy and scale IoT applications to adapt to changing business needs—whether adding new devices to the same application or connecting to new analytical solutions. Users can also view all current integrations and applications from a single window to simplify the management of the entire IoT project.
5. Reduce Security Risks
Network attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and the connected components of the IoT network (including base stations and routers) must always be equipped with the latest security features. Manual methods cannot meet the ongoing and timely update needs of these critical network infrastructures; in this case, IoT device management tools can remotely deliver security updates, saving costs for users. In addition, 24/7 network monitoring helps identify anomalies in a timely manner, such as spikes in data traffic that may indicate violations.
The IoT device management platform provides streamlined resource allocation, centralized management, and real-time insights for all current devices and integrations, helping businesses stay updated on their IoT deployments.
