Boundless Shifu IoT open source development framework accelerates IoT application development tenfold

Shifu Framework + Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) full-stack IoT solution makes the development of industrial scenarios as easy as developing an APP, and reduces the comprehensive operation and maintenance cost of nearly one million yuan. IoT development and device hosting framework Shifu Framework uses Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) to easily deploy on Kubernetes to achieve efficient cloud-side collaboration to help its customers integrate massive IoT devices at low cost.

1. Boundless to provide full-scene device hosting

Boundless Edgenesis released the open source development framework for IoT based on K8s - Shifu Framework, which provides a transparent framework for customers' full-scenario device hosting and integrated software development. Using Shifu, developers can more easily connect, monitor and control any IoT device. .

Bian Wuji Edgenesis has provided framework hosting services for multi-industry subdivided leading enterprises. The company has cooperated deeply with many Fortune 500 companies at home and abroad, including China Shipbuilding and Xiamen International Trade, and was awarded the Industrial Internet Industry Alliance of China Academy of Information and Communications Technology. One of the 14 member companies of the Industrial Internet Platform Test Validation and Innovation Promotion Laboratory. In the future, Boundless will insist on promoting the transformation of the underlying digital structure of smart devices, and provide 100% reusable and 100% modular building blocks for solution integrators in the industry, enterprise IoT project teams, and new government infrastructure departments. Framework deployment experience.

2. Amazon EKS helps Shifu Framework to play Kubernetes

Since the bottom layer of Shifu Framework's product is Kubernetes, it needs to deploy Kubernetes in the cloud for efficient cloud-side collaboration. In serving a specific Industry 4.0 factory customer, Bian Wuji Shifu uses AWS' EKS service. The architecture diagram is as follows:

3. Full stack IoT solution architecture process

Application Scenario: An Industry 4.0 Factory

Achieving the goal: Integrate all production and experimental equipment into Shifu Framework to achieve 24x7 fully automatic production with extremely low development costs.

Implementation process introduction: Boundless provides a full-stack IoT solution of Shifu Framework + EKS. The AWS-hosted Kubernetes enables Boundless to focus on the development of Shifu Framework and create a cluster with one click. For high-speed iteration products, EKS also supports automatic elastic scaling, which greatly reduces expenses. AKS hosting service helped us reduce the comprehensive operation and maintenance cost of nearly one million yuan.

After the developer connects the device to the Shifu Framework, the automated process control application is developed on the digital twin automatically generated by the Shifu Framework. Shifu Framework makes developing an industrial scenario as easy as developing an app.

Cost reduction and efficiency increase: The initial development cycle originally planned for 12 engineers of two years was shortened to only two months for two engineers. Subsequent iteration cycles have been shortened from once every six months to once every two weeks, subversively improving the efficiency of production and research for customers.

4. One-stop solution to equipment intervention, application development and system operation and maintenance problems

Customer testimonials: Shifu not only helps us integrate a large number of IoT devices at a very low cost, but also completely decouples the applications we develop based on Shifu Framework from hardware, which greatly improves the reusability of applications and the efficiency of development and iteration. It has become the most efficient company in production and research in the industry, which has greatly improved the company's competitiveness.

Supported by Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), the boundless Shifu Framework helps IoT developers solve device access, application development, and system operation and maintenance problems. It is a one-stop IoT application development solution that enables the development of an industry Scenarios are as simple as developing an APP!
