In What Scenarios Can the IoT Platform Be Applied?

There are four scenarios:

1. Devices + platform + applications

   Devices report data to the platform, and the platform manages the devices and pushes data to applications based on event types. The applications can deliver commands to the platform, which immediately delivers the commands to the devices or caches the commands until the devices go online.

2. Device + platform + Other Huawei Cloud services

   Devices report data to the platform. The platform manages devices and forwards device data to other Huawei Cloud services based on custom data forwarding rules for cross-service processing.

3. Devices + platform + third-party cloud services + applications

   Devices report data to the platform, and the platform manages the devices. Users can obtain data and deliver commands through applications, and set rules to transfer data to third-party cloud services for processing.

4. Devices + platform

   Devices report data to the platform. Users can view device data and monitor device status in the IoTDA console. No further data processing is required.
