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:

Report recognizes Exosite as a vendor that is innovative and impactful in the Internet of Things space            

We have worked hand-in-hand with over 200 companies over the last eight years to help them deploy connected products that use the Internet of Things to create economic leverage. While some of our customers just want the fastest path to deploying an IoT feature set for a given product, most of them want BOTH reduced time to market AND to reuse the technologies and lessons-learned on subsequent efforts. This latter class of organization is one of the 69% of companies who see the Internet of Things as having a high or critical impact to their future (via Smart Industry).

CTO Mark Benson was included in this collection of interviews conducted with exhibitors at the recent Hannover Messe show. Benson (starting at 13:13 in the video) discusses Exosite and our unique blend of technology and business offerings, as well as walks through the Voice of the Machine™ demo in the Parker Hannifin booth, illustrating how IoT can be utilized within the industrial space. Learn more about the industrial applications and see inside Parker’s booth at Hannover Messe.

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. Our powerful partnership is featured in Industry Week, where you can read the full article, “Parker Presents the Internet of Things for the Ordinary Guy”

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.
