Challenges in the use of of IoT platforms

Many companies face similar problems when getting started with IoT and the digitalization of devices and systems:

Low-function manufacturer clouds

Device manufacturers' platforms are often based on their own hardware and offer only limited options beyond pure monitoring.

IT systems that are too complex

Traditional ERP or SCADA systems are not designed for IoT. They cause high integration costs and remain too inflexible for device networking.

High license costs

Many solutions charge per user or device. This makes rollouts expensive and prevents economical scaling.

Vendor lock-in

Proprietary systems tie companies to one manufacturer and prevent cross-manufacturer use and data integration.

Complex project launch

Long implementation times and high barriers to entry delay results and slow down the digital transformation.

Security and compliance concerns

Strict requirements for data protection, access control and protection against manipulation make the use of digital platforms more difficult.
