Lexmark Unveils Optra IoT Platform to Accelerate Manufacturing Digital Transformation

At the IoT Tech Expo North America virtual event, Lexmark showcased its new Optra IoT Platform, a comprehensive suite designed to help manufacturers harness the power of connected devices and data‑driven insights.

The Optra platform is a turnkey solution that accelerates digital transformation, enabling companies to create smarter products and services while reducing costs.

Built on Lexmark’s proven cloud, IoT, and connectivity expertise, the platform integrates seamlessly with existing managed services and device ecosystems.

Connect data and accelerate results with IoT

According to McKinsey, 84% of IoT initiatives remain in pilot mode, largely because data is fragmented across silos. This fragmentation hinders the extraction of actionable insights.

Lexmark’s own IoT platform, originally deployed for its global managed print services, combines device performance and sensor data with core business system inputs to deliver real‑time, actionable intelligence.

The Optra IoT Platform offers:

• A robust architecture that merges data from connected devices and core business systems, turning siloed information into operational knowledge.
• Accelerators such as machine‑learning algorithms, AI models, interactive dashboards, and ready‑to‑implement business process templates that fast‑track insight generation and deployment.
• Dedicated consulting support from Lexmark’s IoT specialists, ensuring customers realize maximum value from their investment.
