The open platform dojot, created by CPQD with the aim of accelerating the development of Internet of Things (IoT) applications focused on Brazilian needs, is getting a new version. Its name is Karate and it brings new libraries and features, as well as important improvements to speed up the development of solutions.
“The Karate version includes a large amount of tests, which makes the dojot platform more robust”, says Rafael Augusto Scaraficci, technical coordinator of the project at CPQD. In addition, among the new version's features and improvements, it highlights profile-based user access control, import/export of configuration data, extension of the device data model to support metadata, and the addition of new elements for composing processing flows (eg functions for sending batch commands, scheduling tasks and sending notifications to external applications). Improvements were also introduced in support for updating device firmware and features implemented in the dojot graphical interface.
Launched in 2017, the dojot platform was born as a Brazilian open source proposal, developed within a broader project conducted by CPQD in partnership with other science and technology institutions, with the support of resources from FUNTTEL (Fund for Technological Development of Telecommunications ), from the Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovations and Communications, and Finep. Its main differentials are security, robustness and ease of use – which speeds up the creation of IoT applications suited to the country's needs. The platform, which is open source, is currently being used by several companies, startups and institutions from different sectors, contributing to the formation of a Brazilian ecosystem for the development of the Internet of Things.
