IBM has announced an expansion of its IoT platform called IBM IoT Foundation through a collaboration with ARM mbed-enabled devices connecting to cloud and analytics services.
This fusion of IBM with ARM will allow data from devices such as industrial appliances, weather sensors and wearable monitoring devices to be gathered, analyzed and acted upon accordingly.
IBM also announced the first in a series of IBM Cloud-based, industry-specific IoT services with IoT for Electronics. The service will enable electronics manufacturers to gather data from the deployed sensors that can be combined with other data for real-time analysis.
IoT Foundation helps to makes it simple to derive value from Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
It includes:
- Analytics tools capable of dealing with large quantities of fast-moving data.
- Access to IBM Bluemix, IBM’s Platform-as-a-Service, that is capable of handling the immense flow of data and provide anytime access for decision makers.
- Security systems capable of helping organizations protect IoT data as rigorously as they do their own confidential financial, IP and strategy information.
The integration between IBM and ARM will allow devices powered by ARM mbed-enabled chips to automatically register with the IBM IoT Foundation platform and connect with services of IBM Analytics. This unifies the ARM mbed IoT Device Platform and the IBM IoT Foundation at the point where information gathered from the sensors in any connected device is transferred to the cloud for analysis.
The IoT technology enables the delivery of actionable events to control equipment or provide users with alerts or other information. For example, the triggering of an alarm message on a washing machine to ask the owner to confirm a breakdown engineer appointment if a fault is detected.
