The concept of a digital twin is a popular topic right now, but what is it? Long story short, it keeps the physical and virtual data from a device in one place. As an industrial IoT platform provider, we give birth to these digital siblings all the time.

But why are they useful? There are several ways to get information from a device:

As an industrial IoT platform provider, we have the history and know-how to illuminate the path to connected-product deployment. One of the recurrent terms that you’ll encounter when developing an IoT project is “digital twin.” This week, Exosite’s Augmented Digital Twin Blog Series covers the IoT asset itself.

Exosite is powering Parker Hannifin’s Voice of the Machine™ IoT platform, and it’s making waves. Parker is leveraging their 100 years of expertise and our platform to help SMEs start harnessing the benefits of IoT to increase efficiencies and prevent equipment failure.

IoT security is one of the most popular topics in technology today, with articles coming out on a daily basis. Companies that are breached often end up as news stories for months, which is the exact opposite type of recognition organizations want. Using an evolving IoT security strategy is your best bet for keeping your reputation from being tarnished.

Forbes Technology Council members, including Exosite CTO Mark Benson, address why net neutrality is essential to the existence of the Internet of Things in a new article, titled "Weakening Net Neutrality: What It Will Mean." Neutrality has been under attack, and without strong legislature in place, the Internet becomes a place of profit rather than creativity and innovation. The Forbes Technology Council share their opinions on how regulation changes would impact daily business in the full article.
