The connectivity of all the devices we rely on in our modern world is achieved with the application of the latest
advance in technology, Device-to-Cloud communication (D2C). It enables connection and data sharing between your
devices and cloud systems to ensure secure data storage.
What is Device to Cloud Communication?
D2C is the pathway that devices rely on to safely store collected data. It’s capabilities permit sharing between
cloud-based storage and processing systems. With this
world-changing technology, not only can we securely transmit
data for storage in the cloud, it offers instant access to the stored information, and facilitates
intelligent decision-making.
The Future is Already Here
Harnessing D2C opens up huge opportunities for data
aggregation and for performing analytics. By utilizing this
advanced technology’s cloud computing properties,
businesses and organizations are able to analyze extensive volumes
of data in real time, to derive insights and enable smart, prompt decision-making. D2C frees up the need for
physical data storage , which protects privacy, enhances
security, and reduces maintenance costs and the need for upgrades to hardware .
How D2C Communication Functions
Fundamentally, D2C technology works by connecting our IoT
devices to cloud platforms. Our devices operate in the
real world to gather and store data on a day-to-day basis, then use internet connectivity to instantaneously
transmit all this information to the cloud where it safely sits, awaiting recall at the owner’s discretion. The
process of storage relies on data encryption and safe
transfer protocols, to guarantee that the information remains intact and secure during transmission.
An Example of D2C: AutoPi Cloud
A prime example of the eloquence of Device to Cloud Communication is the AutoPi Cloud platform . Applied by the
automotive industry, the AutoPi device is designed
to connect our vehicles to the cloud. It functions by collecting
data from the vehicle’s onboard systems (CAN bus ),
including factors like speed, fuel efficiency , and
engine health, and transmits the information to the AutoPi Cloud to enable analysis, processing and secure storage.
Platforms like AutoPi Cloud rely on D2C to provide
real-time vehicle monitoring , trouble-shooting and
analytics, which assists efficient vehicle management by vehicle owners and fleet managers . It also enables predictive
automotive maintenance prompted by analysis of the collected data. The system raises alerts on potential adverse
issues before they go on to manifest as real time problems.
Conclusion: It’s All In The Cloud
The future has arrived. D2C is already revolutionizing the way we interact with our devices and how they interact
with each other. It’s not just our connection to the world wide web, but includes the technological automation of
our smart homes, right through to connected cars .
D2C provides an interconnected smart world where information and
data are gathered and efficiently applied to give us real-time, informed decision-making capabilities.
