Losant and ZEDEDA Partner to Deliver Scalable Edge and IoT Infrastructure
Organizations across industries are recognizing the immense potential of IoT and edge applications to enhance efficiency, drive innovation, and create new revenue streams. However, harnessing this potential often involves navigating a unique set of challenges. Integrating and orchestrating data from a wide array of devices and systems, often spread across diverse locations, is a complex task that can strain resources. Developing and deploying applications tailored for edge environments demands specialized skills and can lead to prolonged development cycles. Additionally, managing the security, reliability, and performance of edge devices in remote and unpredictable settings often requires sophisticated solutions. The distributed nature of edge computing also amplifies security concerns, necessitating robust measures to protect against unauthorized access, data breaches, and device tampering.
A new partnership between Losant and ZEDEDA aims to simplify this journey by offering a comprehensive, end-to-end solution that is poised to reshape the way businesses approach edge computing and IoT implementations. This collaboration unites Losant’s Enterprise IoT Platform, renowned for its low-code application development environment, with ZEDEDA’s open edge orchestration and management solution, creating a powerful synergy that addresses the challenges of managing complex workflows in distributed environments.
The Losant and ZEDEDA partnership delivers a comprehensive solution that addresses the key challenges of edge computing and IoT implementations. By combining Losant’s user-friendly application development platform with ZEDEDA’s robust edge orchestration capabilities, this joint solution offers a range of benefits that streamline data management, accelerate application deployment, simplify device management, ensure scalability, and enhance security across the entire IoT ecosystem.

Whether it’s through creating digital twins, leveraging Jupyter Notebooks for insightful analytics, or building dynamic dashboards for real-time data visualization, Losant stands out as an excellent platform for organizations aiming to harness the full power of their data.
Sensor Noise and Straightforward Software Techniques To Reduce It
Sensor telemetry is at the heart of IoT. But while it can lead to amazing insights, it can also be noisy and inconsistent. There are two main sources of the problem. First, all sensors have hardware limitations and only measure to a certain degree of accuracy, with sequential readings having some amount of variance. (We call this variation in sensor readings, “sensor noise”.) Second, even if a sensor could measure with perfect accuracy and precision, the world itself that the sensor is measuring still presents variation; for instance, an IR distance sensor is affected by sunlight.
We can accept noise and inconsistency as a reality of IoT, but we can also take reasonable steps to reduce them. For instance, is there more accurate hardware available? Are there adjustable gain, sensitivity, positioning, or other calibrations to make on our sensors? Can we reduce environmental factors? Should we average out multiple readings over time? In many cases, these basic steps are enough to allow the data of interest to stand out.
How OEMs Can Embed IoT To Create New Revenue Potential
The Embedded Edge Agent allows OEMs to bring connected products to market faster. Once the OEM has incorporated the EEA into their sensors or devices firmware, the OEMs are able to collect and deliver embedded device data to their customers. The EEA allows OEMs to quickly and easily deploy low-code IoT solutions that create added-value by making their products more competitive and profitable. It also creates an opportunity for OEMs to generate new sources of revenue by monetizing data and services.
