The Challenge

IoT platforms constitute the necessary basis for the realization of high performance IoT use cases in production and logistics. IoT projects are highly relevant for both established corporations and small to medium-sized companies of different industry sectors all around the world. With the growing diffusion of connected production machines, tracking solutions and advanced analytics it is more important than ever to choose the right IoT platform. The IoT platform market, however, is complex with hundreds of platform providers offering platforms ranging from niche products to universal solutions. As such, it is quite challenging to achieve the right match between platform provider and the specific requirements of the user.

The Study

Become part of our market study that we conduct together with the FIR e.V. an der RWTH Aachen addressing the efficient selection of IoT platforms for a quick implementation of IoT use cases in the industrial context!

In a diverse consortium of companies, we will identify and define relevant requirements in the context of industrial applications for platform solutions. As a result, we will develop a description model to classify IoT platforms and gain deeper insights into functionalities and transfer points. On this basis, we will develop a decision framework that supports the decision-making process and helps to place solutions on the market. In the final step, we will validate the chosen selection criteria with all participating companies.
