Access to remote devices, machines, assets and other entities provides a
primary value proposition for IoT solutions.
IoT solution emphasize software capabilities and particularly enterprise
integration.
IoT solutions rely on IP-based networks to interface device data to a
cloud or middleware platform.
Customers of IoT applications aim to reduce unplanned downtime, and the
solutions offer the potential to improve service management.
Software based IoT solutions more accessible to a broader variety of
both internal and external customers. Universal visualization
capabilities allow data to be presented anywhere, including on mobile
devices, to any sanctioned users.
IoT accommodates the same devices/assets/machines and also low-power and
passive sensors . IoT devices communicate via standards-based IP
networks, and their data are incorporated into enterprise applications
to enable not only improved service, but also operational improvement
and new business models such as product-as-a-service.
