How to Overcome IoT Data Interoperability Challenges

By

Many market analysts have predicted the IoT ecosystem’s growth well into the tens of billions over the next 5 years, and that kind of growth both implies and requires rapid and drastic changes in the IoT technology landscape.

Along with these changes will, of course, come challenges and the need for new IoT solutions. One key challenge to expect is likely to be data interoperability, validated by a recent survey by Nexus, which reported that 77 percent of respondents stated that interoperability already was their biggest challenge in IoT.

Interoperability between hardware, software, and services will be key in helping industries transform how they operate and create new services and solutions. To streamline interoperability, Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture (OPC UA) has emerged as the leading open standard in the IoT industry community across multiple industries.

Microland has partnered with PTC (Kepware), a global computer software and services company, to provide a comprehensive solution that addresses data interoperability and data availability.

In an upcoming webinar, called “Navigating Data Interoperability Challenges in IoT,” Microland and Kepware will outline what IoT companies need to know about Data Interoperability and availability and what challenges to expect during this growth period.

What You Will Learn:

  • Challenges that hinder digital transformation in industrial IoT (IIoT)
  • Benefits of Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture (OPC UA)
  • Solutions offered by Microland to mitigate interoperability challenges

Who Should Attend:

  • CXOs driving digital transformation through industrial IoT
  • COOs and other operations leadership familiar with plant and business operations, and understand where many of the data sources exist

The webinar will take place Wednesday, September 26 from 11 a.m. Pacific, 2 p.m. Eastern.
