Abstract

Abstract : Purpose: Recently, Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors are rapidly increasing in the word. They are connecting to the internet and are generating vast packets in the network. Thus, the networks could be congested, and the performance will degrade. For this reason, it is important to decrease the number of transmitted packets. Agile is a technique to develop the software and manage the work efficiently. Kanban is a method to support Agile development. The purpose of this paper is to propose an IoT sensors management system considering Agile–Kanban and show its application for weather measurement and electric wheelchair management. Design/methodology/approach: The authors present the design and implementation of two systems and show the measurement device, data communication failure and experimental results. Findings: The proposed Agile–Kanban system can manage a large amount of IoT sensors and can decrease the IoT sensor's consumption power thus increasing the IoT sensor lifetime. Originality/value: By experimental results, the authors have shown that the proposed systems have good performance and can control the IoT devices efficiently.
