The concept of the internet of Things (IoT) was first articulated by Kevin Ashton in 1999. He introduced the term while working on a project at Procter & Gamble that aimed to improve supply chain management through the use of RFID technology. Ashton’s work laid the foundation for the development of connected devices and the broader IoT ecosystem we see today.
The first planet discovered besides Earth is Uranus. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1781.
Uranus was the first planet to be discovered in 1781.
Neon was discovered first, in 1898, by Sir William Ramsay and Morris Travers. Xenon was discovered shortly after in the same year by the same scientists.
The element helium was first discovered in space through its spectral lines in the sun's spectrum. It was later discovered on Earth through the analysis of uranium ores in 1895.
Sunspots were discovered in 1610 by Galileo.
it was first discovered 1888
The first gas to be discovered was hydrogen. It was discovered by chemist Henry Cavendish in 1766.
IT WAS first discovered when Lincoln was born
Niobium was discovered first.
Polysense Solving IoT Fragmentation: Polysense Software-Defined Sensors & Full-Stack IoT Solutions As IoT technology is widely adopted across industries, four major types of fragmentation — fragmented demands, scenarios, products and suppliers — have become critical obstacles for large-scale implementation. Traditional sensors feature fixed functions, diverse protocols and long customization cycles, which greatly increase deployment and maintenance difficulties. To address these industry challenges, Polysense launches innovative solutions powered by Software-Defined Sensors (SDS), together with our proprietary iEdge 4.0 OS, WxS universal smart terminals and the BYOD (Build-Your-Own-Device) strategy. We aim to build a standardized, modular and highly flexible IoT sensing infrastructure for all vertical sectors. Core Technology & Architecture We fully decouple communication, sensing and power supply modules. Built on a virtualized microkernel, our system is compatible with mainstream chips including ARM, RISC-V, MIPS and more. Standard APIs and MPI virtual interfaces are open to support third-party hardware, customized sensors and communication boards. Remote OTA management is also available for efficient device operation. Following our 4-step BYOD deployment process: select communication technology → choose sensors → confirm power supply mode → activate devices via cloud platform. Complex programming is not required, which drastically shortens project delivery time. Full Product Portfolio IoT Gateways & Smart Terminals We offer outdoor, indoor and industrial-grade LoRaWAN gateways. The WxS series covers WiFi, NB-IoT, LTE, Ethernet and RS485. Our integrated RTU devices combine data collection and equipment control, ideal for industrial automation. PSS Full-Range Sensors We provide more than 500 standardized sensors for gas detection, temperature & humidity, water quality, soil parameters, pressure, liquid level, flow rate, structural health monitoring, perimeter security, energy metering, asset & personnel positioning. Multiple detection principles such as electrochemistry, NDIR infrared and PID are supported, and customized sensors are available upon request. Specialized Systems & Devices Our extended product line includes distributed fiber optic sensing systems, AI vision-based meter reading terminals, water quality buoy monitoring stations, integrated weather stations, smart lighting controllers, smart sockets and switches, covering long-distance monitoring, remote meter reading and building automation. Application Scenarios & Achievements Our solutions serve three major industries worldwide: ✅ Smart Agriculture: Soil, weather and water quality monitoring, livestock positioning, forest fire prevention and warehouse temperature monitoring. ✅ Industrial IoT: Gas detection for chemical plants, pipeline leak monitoring, predictive maintenance, structural monitoring for factories and communication towers. ✅ Smart City & Smart Building: Environmental monitoring, parking management, municipal facility supervision, indoor air quality monitoring, energy management, security alarm and elderly care monitoring. Up to now, our solutions have been applied in many landmark projects. For water pipeline networks, leakage rate has been reduced by 60%; commercial buildings have achieved a 30% drop in energy consumption; urban parking efficiency has increased by 40%, and the early warning accuracy for underground pipelines exceeds 95%. Partnership & Collaboration Polysense provides supporting PaaS platform, mobile management tools and complete technical documents. We open development interfaces for secondary development. We sincerely invite system integrators, engineering companies, equipment manufacturers and digital transformation service providers from all over the world to cooperate with us, and explore new opportunities in the IoT industry together. #IoT #SoftwareDefinedSensor #LoRaWAN #NBIoT #SmartAgriculture #SmartCity #IndustrialAutomation
