How to deliver a competitive Industrial IoT Edge?

Modern machines tend to be smart. You’ve got a piece of industrial equipment, possibly with an OS, a sensor bus, and drivers talking to I/O systems enabling local monitoring and operation. Now you want to monitor, control, and update that equipment from the cloud. This can be accomplished, but only after you’ve deployed data management components to […]

How to Avoid the Trap of Building One-Off Features for IIoT Products

IIoT customers often demand a fully functional, end-to-end solution. And, most products often fall short of “the last mile” to give these customers exactly what they need. To bridge this gap (i.e., close the deal, or satisfy an important customer) Product Teams often agree to develop one-off features for that particular customer. Overall, the Product […]
