The Internet of Things is set to change many aspects of the way we live, but for companies and developers it represents a whole range of challenges when it comes to integration with existing systems and analyzing the extra data it generates.
Now analytics specialist Glassbeam and development platform supplier ThingWorx have announced a collaboration to allow their solutions to work together.
The ThingWorx rapid application development IoT platform is designed to build and run applications for the connected world, allowing customers to reduce the time, cost, and risk required to build innovative applications for smart, connected products. Glassbeam's proven IoT analytics as a service offering provides advanced machine learning and real-time analytics, taking in and analyzing data collected and stored inside the ThingWorx platform.
"Customers need the ability to derive new intelligence from data, and we're building out our certified partner marketplace to meet that need," says Chris Kuntz, Vice President of Ecosystem Programs at ThingWorx. "The addition of Glassbeam allows customers to analyze their data directly in the Glassbeam platform. It's a powerful and complementary offering to the ThingWorx platform".
Combining the two solutions allows customers to reduce costs, increase revenues, and accelerate the time to bring products to market as well as improving customer satisfaction and retention. The solution has already been selected by medical device company VytronUS to collect and analyze machine data from its systems.
"We believe that Glassbeam and the ThingWorx platform working in tandem as an end-to-end solution for customers to view rich analytics, based on data in their machines and from adjacent applications, is highly valuable," says Puneet Pandit, CEO and co-founder of Glassbeam. "We knew that our collaboration with ThingWorx was going to be successful. Now, with the addition of VytronUS as a customer and active prospect discussions, we're excited about the possibilities created by this collaboration".
More information and a trial of the ThingWorx platform is available on the company's website.
