The operating system of your IoT devices is a vital piece of the puzzle that determines whether your IoT implementation will be successful or not. Operating systems have to match hardware, offer the right environment for applications, and work with all the other elements of your organization. They also have to be maintained and secured.
IIoT devices are often insecure, and networks are frequently configured to allow for rapid, easy deployment and communication. Security is typically an afterthought until something goes wrong, or isn’t addressed with the right approach and toolkit.
‘How to be first to market’ returns 3.8 billion results from Google. That’s a lot of advice, and some of it’s great advice. But what if it’s the right advice about how to do the wrong thing?
MVPs are there to get the information you need to build out a full product, as well as to start building an audience and developing some marketplace traction. In the words of startup pioneer Eric Ries:
The emerging connected-devices marketplace is huge, and growing rapidly. Estimates abound, and have been revised by the pandemic, but it’s in the region of $540 billion this year — up from $490 billion last year, and $290 billion in 2017.
The IoT market is exploding, and networks of connected devices aren’t coming to a store, home, or workplace near you. They’re already there, in increasing numbers. IoT implementations are driving huge gains in productivity and value across multiple industries. They’re behind improvements in customer satisfaction, patient care, and even fuel efficiency.
