Have you heard of blockchain? The word has been popping up in various articles, videos and conferences, but what is blockchain and how is it relevant to Industrial IoT?

Vendors face challenges supporting multiple IoT platforms. How can you aggregate data from various IoT platforms and application systems to create valuable solutions for your customers.

Every year, HMS Industrial Networks attends Rockwell Automation's PartnerNetwork™ Conference. This year we gained some valuable insights on the Connected Enterprise, security and where industrial IoT is heading.

Last week, HMS Industrial Networks attended IBM Connect. At the conference the primary IoT solutions were Bluemix Cloud, Watson for IoT, Blockchain, and Maximo. Here’s a quick breakdown the four IoT solutions: Bluemix is IBM’s cloud platform. The Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) supports scalable processing and data. Watson for IoT is a translation and analytics engine for ingesting data including IIoT devices. Once the data is on the platform new applications can be created, or data is transformed for transfer to one of the IBM applications like Maximo.
