Enterprise IoT Development Platforms

Abstract

This chapter illustrates the role of IoT platform in Enterprise application development. The IoT platform integrates various components of the solution from hardware to cloud application. An IoT platform plays an essential role in the development of complete Enterprise solutions. The manufacturing, industrial, agriculture, and supply chain sectors have started exploring vastly the benefits of remote monitoring of devices, tracking vehicles, predictive maintenance activities, collecting sensor data for real-time production analytics and to ensure that safety standards are followed. And in industries like retail, healthcare, hospitality, and travelling.

IoT Platform plays a vital role in building the end to end IoT application starting from data collection to improving customer experience. Personalized services to the customers, effective communication with them are significant revenue drivers and business success. This chapter analyses the need to use a well-built IoT platform and the potential consequences of using it appropriately. However, there are plenty of proprietary and open source solutions for Enterprise IoT platform. So, this chapter also addresses the very big question, “Which platform is suitable for my specific business problem or domain?”
