Samsung Electronics announced partnership with PTC to simplify the delivery of IoT solutions by industrial manufacturers and system integrators.
The partnership will leverage the efficiency of ThingWorx Industrial Innovation Platform and the Samsung ARTIK Smart IoT Platform to develop solutions that will help the customers implement IoT projects faster, with less risk and with higher return on investment.
The Samsung ARTIK IoT Platform with SmartThings Cloud provides production-ready hardware, software and tools, together with integrated cloud services to enable companies to quickly develop secure IoT products and services, the company said.
Through the partnership with PTC, ARTIK customers will be able to develop and deploy data-driven applications even faster. PTC customers will be able to leverage ThingWorx Ready certified IoT components and services from Samsung ARTIK for connectivity, device management and integrated security.
One of the first initiatives of this partnership is an end-to-end asset monitoring evaluation kit, integrating Shoreline’s ARTIK-based hardware, ARTIK cloud services, and PTC’s ThingWorx platform.
“Industrial IoT implementations can be difficult and solutions often fail because they depend on many separately developed components to work together. The solutions are complex, expensive to install, and require expertise for critical functions such as security,” said James Stansberry, senior vice president and general manager of ARTIK IoT, Samsung Electronics.
“With our partnership, we’re addressing these barriers for industrial customers: both OEMs and manufacturers,” Stansberry added. “We’re simplifying access to critical asset analytics, pre-integrating components, lowering the cost and expertise required to get started, and reducing time to market.”
