The term ‘metaverse’ first came to my notice when Facebook changed their name to ‘Meta.’ This led to a fair amount of ridicule when Facebook released some very flat-footed promotional videos, and it prompted a lot of “eye rolling” here in Silicon Valley. There was even a brilliant send up by the Icelandic tourist board […]

We often hear the term “Digital Twin” in the context of the Industrial Internet of Things, Digital Transformation, or just going digital—and no this is not about Avatars! Most often we think about Digital Twin for machinery failure prevention, but benefits go well beyond including process optimization, lowering the cost of production, and decreasing the […]

Thanks to advances in technology, materials, and manufacturing, IoT devices are becoming increasingly sophisticated while form factors are becoming smaller. And despite their shrinking size, next-generation devices will need to collect, transmit and even make decisions based on a growing volume of data. Effective performance in the field demands an equally advanced approach to power […]

In countless applications that track live systems, real-time analytics play a key role in identifying problems and uncovering new opportunities. They enable data and operations managers to respond fast enough to make a difference in the moment. The need to quickly understand and act on telemetry has never been more important and challenging, as we […]

The rapid adoption of cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) is ushering in billions of connected devices that, left unsecured, represent a significant risk to businesses and consumers. Connected things include a variety of IoT endpoint devices across several critical infrastructure segments, including utilities, automotive, healthcare, retail, and building automation. Complex manufacturing supply […]

Plus a look at what they’re doing to strengthen security going forward The Internet of Things (IoT) hasn’t just arrived – it’s exploding before our eyes. Every “thing” is now connected: think watches, doorbells, medical devices, vehicles, the list goes on. And all of these things are deeply ingrained in our everyday lives. So much […]

MQTT was designed for the Internet of Things (although it wasn’t called that at the time) whereas HTTP was created to make documents available across the internet. They both run over TCP connections, and are both client-server in architecture, but MQTT allows messages to pass in both directions between clients and servers whereas HTTP servers […]

The internet of things (IoT) has arrived, and so have a host of security challenges along with it. Despite the fact that complex manufacturing supply chains mean attackers have many avenues to compromise a device, security is often bolted on as a feature rather than being a critical element designed at the start of a […]

Logistics is difficult because it is hard to keep track of everything. Although most logistics and transportation service providers use mobile technology, changes in regulatory environments, rising labor costs, increased traffic, and volatile fuel prices can impact operations. Companies are also faced with an increasing demand for transparency from the market. With machine learning (ML), […]

The concept of digital twins has been around since the 1970s, but more recently we’ve started to see rapid adoption of the technology in a number of scenarios. With organizations in energy, transport, manufacturing, medicine and others creating digital twins to help understand how specific processes, instruments, even people will react to changing situations. What […]

Up until recently, there have been two options for handling data on the edge: 1. Send raw data to the cloud where it can be stored and analyzed; or 2. Discard the data. Sending all the raw data to cloud is not the right choice for every organization/or system. As far as discarding the data, […]

Azure is widely considered to be one of the top 2 cloud platforms, along with AWS. Azure is also considered the top cloud platform for IoT applications. HiveMQ and IIoT World ran a survey that showed for companies implementing IIoT strategies, 26.1% are using Azure, 18.5% use AWS, and 17.8% are a private cloud self-hosted […]
