EXECUTIVE SUMMARY :
The Internet of Things (IoT) is no longer a fanciful vision. It is very much with us, in everything from factory automation to on-demand entertainment. Yet by most accounts, the full potential of interconnected systems and intelligent devices for changing the way we work and live has barely been tapped.Up until now, IoT software solutions have largely had to be built from scratch with a high degree of customization to specific requirements, which has driven up the cost and complexity of development and deterred many prospective entrants to the market. What have been missing are developer tools that alleviate the costs associated with building the foundational infrastructure—the “plumbing” of their solutions—so they can focus on optimizing the core functionality and bring solutions to market more quickly with less cost.
Wind River® is addressing these challenges with new solutions that have the potential to expand the market for IoT by reducing the cost and complexity of development. This document outlines the challenges that IoT poses for developers, and how Wind River solutions can help overcome them.
DRIVING BUSINESS VALUE
Businesses of all sizes and across a variety of sectors have begun to realize the potential of IoT. Driven by the convergence of cloud technology, rapidly growing data volumes, and connected, intelligent devices communicating with each other, IoT is transforming existing business and revenue models and generating new ones. It is the new driver of business value, enabling organizations to more effectively leverage their data, innovate in services, multiply productivity and efficiency, improve real-time decision making, and solve critical problems.
Consider just one key benefit made possible by IoT: predictive maintenance. Sensors in remote pieces of equipment in the field—the “edge” of the Internet of Things—can deliver a steady stream of intelligence on the health of the equipment, and alert operators in a central location when a piece is showing signs of wear. The equipment can be adjusted or repaired—often remotely—before it fails. This reduces the risk of lengthy downtime and also cuts down on the number of “truck rolls” (maintenance crews having to go out for routine inspections or repairs). The greater the distance between the edge devices and the operator, the greater the value realized.
