Device Management Framework

Device Management Framework is an open-source solution for managing Edge Computing, Edge AI & IoT devices.

Architecture

• Core Tier: The core tier has web interface, web services and real-time communication endpoints and structured data store
  • The web site allows end users to monitor and manage devices remotely.
  • The web services allow both devices and backend systems to connect and implement specific management services (Security, Monitoring, Configuration).
  • The real-time communication endpoints provide direct control message relay channel between devices and browser based or backed system clients.
  • The device metadata and configuration is stored in a transactional database.
  • The core tier is hosed either on premise or on a cloud infrastructure.
• Device Tier: The device tier hosts the device agent and business applications.
  • The device agent application manages the device configuration and business application deployments.
  • The business applications are interacting with the sensors and peripherals to provide a specific business capability.
