Earliest IoT Devices
1982
Carnegie Mellon University
By David Nichols, Mike Kazar, Ivor Durham and John Zsarnay
Connected Coke Machine
They installed micro-switches in the Coke machine to
sense how many bottles were present in each of its six
columns of bottles.
The switches were hooked up to CMUA, the PDP-10
that was then the main departmental computer.
A server program was written to keep tabs on the Coke
machine's state, including how long each bottle had been
in the machine.
When you ran the companion status inquiry program,
you'd get a display that might look like this:
EMPTY EMPTY 1h 3m
COLD COLD 1h 4m
[ Excerpt from – The “Only” Coke Machine on the Internet ]

Categorization of IoT Platforms
Publicly Traded Open Source
End-to-End Connectivity Developer Friendly
Platforms developed and
maintained by large traded
companies
Platforms that provide data
management services under
open licenses
Platforms designed based on
supplied hardware and
required solution
Platforms can be easily
integrated with Arduino,
Raspberry Pi, etc

Solving IoT Project Issues
1. An incomplete IoT Lab which only focuses on either
standalone Arduino or Raspberry Pi devices without
connecting to an IoT platform
2. Students have to do their own research on hundreds of
IoT middleware before choosing one for their Final Year
projects.
3. Many IoT projects cannot complete on time because
students are busy either developing their own
“middleware” or server or busy in troubleshooting the
connectivity between the sensor device and the server.
4. In search for suitable Database to store sensor data and
Display Result with Dashboard
