Platform for capturing, processing, storing, and presentation of generic sensor data from remote arbitrary locations

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for managing networked components which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• managing data collection and analysis from a plurality of local networked components using a gateway device and a server device, the gateway device being coupled between the plurality of local networked components and the server device in a network, the gateway device comprising at least a processor and a memory;
• receiving, at the gateway device, collected data from a local networked component of the plurality of local networked components, wherein the collected data is received from a front-end data collection module comprising custom code that is specific to handle data received from different types of local networked components, the custom code collecting data in a generic format from the different types of local networked components, wherein the collected data having the generic format collected from the different types of local networked components are pre-processed at the gateway device;
• pre-processing, at the gateway device, the collected data by:
• accessing gateway device rules to locally analyze the collected data from the local networked component;
• identifying a localized action to take on the gateway device or on the local networked component, the localized action being taken in response to identification of a gateway device rules condition corresponding to the localized action;
• generating first filtered data by applying one or more of the gateway device rules to the collected data, the first filtered data being smaller than the collected data;
• and
• throttling transmission of the first filtered data to the server device to not overwhelm capacities of the network;
• receiving, at the server device, the first filtered data;
• processing, at the server device, the first filtered data received at least by:
• generating second filtered data by applying server device rules to the first filtered data in a data pre-processing step, the second filtered data being smaller than the first filtered data;
• and
• initiating downstream processing of the second filtered data in a post-processing step, the downstream processing of the second filtered data being taken in response to identification of a server device rules condition corresponding to the downstream processing.
