IoT Project-Learn to design an IoT Ready Infrastructure 

In this IoT project, we will be discussing a general architecture for building smart IOT infrastructure. With the trending advance of IOT in our every facet of life, technology has enabled us to be able to handle a large amount of data ingested with high velocity. This big data project discusses IoT architecture with a sample use case.

Our use-case is a fictitious pipeline network system called SmartPipeNet which is a network of sensors with a back office control system that can monitor pipeline flow and react to events along the various branches to give production feedback, detect and reactively reduce loss, and avoid accidents. It major features include:

• leakage detection
• regulate supplies to the various chains of the pipeline based on certain events detection
• predictive maintenance alerts
• reactive regulation of pipeline flow including shutdown and restart of flow also on event detection

While we will spend time looking at the implementation as much as the IoT architecture in this big data project, our goal is to build that argument for a generalized streaming architecture for reactive data ingestion based on a microservice architecture.
