Introduction

IoTstar 2025 is the latest version of ICP DAS’s IoT cloud management software. It integrates the original IoTstar software and service packages (Dashboard Service, Report Service, Bot Service, etc.) into a single product, streamlining IoTstar’s purchasing and installation process while making the system more intuitive and convenient to use. In addition to retaining all features and service packages from the previous version, IoTstar 2025 introduces several new user-centric functions and significantly enhances the overall user experience. During the development of an IoT cloud system, no programming is required, system configuration can be completed through a web interface. Additionally, with SQL commands, IoTstar 2025 seamlessly integrates with cloud platforms and data analysis tools (such as Power BI, Google Data Studio, or SCADA systems), enabling users to efficiently build “IoT + Big Data” cloud applications. This significantly reduces both the time and cost associated with implementing “IoT + Big Data” cloud solutions.
