In 1998 the book Who Moved My Cheese? captured the imagination of millions, selling 26 million copies worldwide. The “cheese” in the story is a metaphor for any goal or asset—whether a warehouse pallet, a workbench tool, or a KPI such as uptime. Just a year later, Kevin Ashton, then a brand manager

LTE‑M is redefining IoT networking by delivering low cost, low power consumption, minimal infrastructure needs, and robust coverage across vast distances. Low‑Cost Modules: Up to 50% cheaper than comparable IoT devices. Existing Infrastructure: Leverages current LTE networks, eliminating the need f

LoRa’s inherent strengths—long range, low power, and cost‑effective deployment—have made it a preferred platform for many IoT initiatives. Yet, as applications grow more complex and scale demands increase, existing LoRa solutions often struggle to deliver the performance and reliability that modern

On Wednesday night at the Internet of Things World conference in Santa Clara, the inaugural IoT World Awards ceremony announced the standout innovations and leaders shaping the IoT ecosystem. With 51 finalists across 11 categories, the awards highlighted projects that streamline implementation, enha

Jeff Healey, Vertica’s Chief Data Strategy Officer, explains how the company’s high‑performance analytics platform can address any big‑data challenge—from sensor‑driven IoT streams to enterprise data warehouses.

Trying on Microsoft’s $3,500 Hololens 2 at Hannover Messe felt like stepping into the future. The lightweight headset slides over the head, tightened with a ratchet dial for a secure fit. A brief calibration and the world around me transformed into a mixed‑reality overlay. Inside a wastewater blower

Several years ago, the executive team at the Berlin‑based IoT firm Relayr, a finalist in the inaugural IoT World Awards, faced a common industry dilemma: How many connected endpoints were enough to prove scale? We started hyperventilating, recalls co‑founder and chief product officer Jackson Bond. “

When cybersecurity researchers at Dragos and FireEye first exposed the Triton malware—later dubbed Trisis—it marked the first discovery of code specifically designed to jeopardize industrial safety systems. Although the initial reports were vague, evidence points to a nation‑state actor behind the a

Executive Summary Our second annual IoT Implementation Research has revealed a clear shift: the “pilot purgatory” phase is diminishing as organizations translate experimentation into tangible success. Survey Methodology The study gathered insights from 670 professionals across a spectrum of company

Imagine an automated robotic parking garage that doubles the vehicle capacity of a conventional concrete structure. When a car pulls in, the system swiftly relocates the vehicle, eliminating the need for drivers to hunt for a spot. Picture a digital twin of surfable waves generated in large pools th

FogHorn: Pioneering Edge Analytics for the Industrial Internet Founded in 2014, FogHorn was one of the first companies to focus on edge computing for industrial IoT. Its Lightning platform has been deployed on thousands of IIoT devices and sensors, helping customers reduce cloud storage costs by as

Artificial intelligence’s transformative potential is a topic that sparks debate across industries. While its future impact is often discussed, the true scope of its influence remains complex and multifaceted. “Artificial intelligence” can refer to anything from narrow, task‑specific algorithms to t

Boston‑based PTC, founded in 1985 as Parametric Technology Corporation, evolved from a pioneering parametric CAD vendor into a global leader in industrial IoT and augmented reality. The company’s journey began with the original “Pro/Engineer” platform, later renamed Creo, which revolutionized 3‑D di

While the Internet of Things has promised to revolutionize manufacturing, real‑world adoption of industrial IoT solutions is progressing slower than many experts anticipated. Why is widespread industrial IoT uptake, particularly in pneumatic systems, still limited? For maintenance teams, the solutio

By 2034, every major system—from consumer electronics and industrial equipment to the electrical grid and entire factories—will have a digital twin. Yet the term remains fluid. Digital twins are data‑driven models that mirror physical assets, but their fidelity ranges from simple replicas to sophist

“When you change the way you see the world, you change the world you see.” —Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella at MWC Mixed reality and augmented reality promise transformative experiences, yet real‑world demos have been scarce. Gartner noted last year that hardware improvements and compelling use cases ar

Why Selecting Industrial IoT Connectivity Is Harder Than It Appears When choosing a connectivity protocol for an industrial IoT implementation, taking a thoughtful, measured approach pays dividends—even if it requires extra time. The connectivity landscape is broad, the options plentiful, and the ma

When Google Duplex first spoke on a restaurant phone line, it sounded almost human. The demo showcased what AI can do today: execute narrow, scripted conversations with uncanny fluency. Yet the same technology, now available in 43 U.S. states for Google Pixel users, highlights the limits of today’

The Internet of Things World conference unites industry leaders and technologists to accelerate IoT project implementation and ROI. The event explores IoT from both vertical industry perspectives and horizontal technology lenses. In this video, we speak with Zach Butler, portfolio manager for the Io

GE is creating a standalone company dedicated to expanding its Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) software suite. The new entity will consolidate GE Digital’s key offerings—Predix, Asset Performance Management, Historian, Automation (HMI/SCADA), Manufacturing Execution Systems, Operations Performa
