IoT Platforms

When leveraged to the fullest, the cloud IoT platform can become the connective tissue binding together different operations and disparate assets, and providing a unified infrastructure.

These industrial IoT (IIoT) platforms offer different approaches to IoT analytics, device management, application development and integration.

We have prepared a list of 6 IoT platforms that allow you to build a small-scale IoT project while exploring the full functionality of the platform.

The more sophisticated the IoT system, the stronger AI capabilities it requires. And the true value of the collected IoT data only becomes manifest when it is combined with AI.

With the high demand for IoT solutions in the industrial sector and beyond, there has been an exponential growth in the number of IoT platforms.

We compare some of the most exciting IoT platforms on the market right now, the ones that tick off all the boxes when it comes to innovation: Balena.io, Particle.io, Thingworx, Siemens Mindsphere, Adamos, and Record Evolution.

There are over 600 IoT platform vendors globally right now. You have generalized IoT platforms, industrial IoT (IIoT) platforms, and manufacturing execution systems for industrial enterprises. So what’s the difference?

IIoT platforms are highly scalable, flexible, and interoperable. This is the hardware-and-software bundle that connects thousands of devices and allows for the management of multiple applications and massive data flows.

We take a look at the emergent phenomenon of the industrial IoT platform, the core capabilities, requirements, and the latest trends.

This article lays out the constituents of what we call the fully rounded IoT development cycle – both tangible and intangible.
