C3 IoT has announced a strategic partnership with Google Cloud aiming to boost artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) development for enterprise digital transformation.

Under this partnership, C3 IoT and Google Cloud have developed an integrated solution that looks to smoothly delivers the C3 IoT Platform, a comprehensive platform as a service (PaaS) for rapidly developing and operating big data, predictive...

Though the strength of the Internet of Things (IoT) stems from its ability to be more than the sum of its parts, its devices have long been lone rangers.

Hardware, software, middleware, cloud, storage, security, integration platforms and connectivity all need to combine to produce an effective end to end solution. This, of course, demands collaboration and partnerships rather than isolation. Yet when it comes to the nuts and bolts of how devices do their magic, little comment has passed on the merits of a...

The areas of ‘smart life’ and ‘smart industry’ are set to get a boost, as German semiconductor manufacturer Infineon Technologies and China’s Alibaba Cloud have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to support both the fields by helping Chinese enterprises and cities to go through a seamless digital transition.

Infineon, which is an active promoter and practitioner of Industry 4.0, will leverage its own core technology and service advantages in the field of IoT to work...

Arm has announced the acquisition of enterprise data management provider Treasure Data in order to become the ‘final piece of the company’s IoT enablement puzzle.’

The move will see technology from Treasure Data, alongside another recent acquisition in connectivity management provider Stream, combine to form what Arm is calling the Pelion IoT Platform, which will ‘enable companies to seamlessly and securely connect and manage IoT devices and data at any scale’, in the words of...

The UK government’s Industrial Strategy, launched in 2017, sets out a long term plan to boost productivity in British industry. Further to this, the government recently announced the creation of an AI Council, led by leaders within industry, to support the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence across all UK sectors. The opportunity could inject £455 billion into the UK economy and boost growth by 3%...

You may already realise that water is an everyday critical resource for you and your family. Plenty of headlines about on how we get too much water or too little – flooding and drought. But how do water monitoring systems help you, your teams, and your organisation to save water, your time, your money, and potentially lives?

Here, we will give you inside details about case studies where smart cities in coastal areas have deployed flood warning systems with Industrial IoT sensors, how the sensors...

To make sure the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is as secure as it can be, it needs to be secured at the endpoint level. There’s just one problem though: what is an endpoint, anyway?

A survey of more than 200 industrial executives from the SANS Institute concludes that while security of endpoints is the primary concern for IIoT, having a relatively small number of connected devices does not mean you have a manageable amount of endpoints to consider.

40% of respondents said they had fewer than 100...

Xage Security, a blockchain security platform provider for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), has raised $12 million in a series A funding round which would be utilised to further develop its security fabric for edge IIoT networks and essential national infrastructure.

The funds will help bolster its tech team and fortify its implementation capabilities and expand the scope of its technology, as Xage supports innovations such as decentralised energy production, 5G...

GE and Microsoft are extending their partnership agreement to remove the issues that industries face in advancing digital transformation projects. Both companies are planning to bring their respective operational technology and information technology together to accomplish the task.

Under the deal, GE Digital plans to standardise its Predix solutions on Microsoft Azure and deeply integrate the Predix portfolio with Azure’s native cloud capabilities, including Azure IoT and Azure Data and Analytics. The...

You may well have heard of the ‘intelligent edge’, as Microsoft puts it – the future of computing, on multiple devices, the blurring of the physical and virtual worlds, driven by huge amounts of data, as well as artificial intelligence and machine learning. But how can organisations make the most of this opportunity?

A new whitepaper from the Industrial Internet Consortium aims to shed some light on this process and how to architect an edge computing implementation.

It is important to note...
