Abstract

Various embodiments of systems and methods for filtering and processing data related to internet of things are described herein. The method includes reading data from a sensor coupled to a device. The sensor collects data in real time. The read data is correlated within the device based upon a time the data is collected by the sensor. One or more predefined events are evaluated on the correlated data within the device. An output including the correlated data satisfying the condition specified in the one or more predefined events is generated by the device. The generated output is stored within the device, sent to cloud or a server for further storage and analysis, used for controlling actuations of one or more actuators, and is used for initiating a workflow for starting one or more repair actions for the device.
