DKGlabs

Industrial IoT from sensors through to analytics

DKGlabs, also styled DKG Labs, builds Internet of Things work for enterprises, running from the sensors and connectivity at the base of a system to the analytics at the top. Its own description pairs engineering expertise with a broad IoT ecosystem and a practical approach to digital transformation. The firm says it helps clients realise measurable benefits from connected devices, and it has recently added computer vision and generative AI tools to its IoT offer.

InciMat, an IoT hub for devices and their software

InciMat is the firm's IoT hub, described as an industry-specific, cloud-agnostic platform on which enterprises and their customers can develop, deploy and manage IoT software applications. It handles sensor data and data acquisition, pushes software upgrades to devices, and lets a business connect its assets and process data streams. The firm presents it as a foundation that can be customized and deployed without much friction.

Tracking goods along the value chain

Asset tracking uses GPS, LoRaWAN and RFID to follow assets across the value chain. The firm's material links this to event processing based on business rules, so that incoming sensor streams can trigger actions, and to batch analysis on a data lake for longer-term review. Its data pipeline work is aimed at turning the data that connected devices generate into information a business can act on.

Plug-and-play controllers for older equipment

The plug-and-play IoT controller connects to legacy devices on a premises. The firm says this reduces cost and brings IoT infrastructure to sites where none existed before, so that older machinery can join a connected network. The controller works alongside the hub, which manages the devices once they are connected.

IoT strategy and proofs of concept for enterprises and vendors

Consulting work is described as a partnership in IoT strategy. The firm says it reviews a client's business processes and pain points, helps decide where IoT adds most value, and writes up a clear strategy with a recommended set of end-to-end solutions. It also runs proofs of concept, digital roadmaps and the analytics that turn data into action. For device makers, it says it helps vendors scale their own IoT products and services, and it names the security challenges inherent in IoT devices and applications among the issues it addresses.

System integration from firmware to cloud

The firm's system integration work runs from firmware setup on IoT devices and sensor selection, through machine-to-machine communication, gateways and cloud, to business intelligence integration. It says it uses partner products and platforms alongside its own and brings domain expertise to each vertical it serves. Its own material describes data as the main output of device interconnection, which is why the firm puts such weight on analytics.
