IBM IoT - Products and Systems


IBM
IBM is a Niche Player according to 2020 Magic Quadrant of Gartner. 

The IBM Watson IoT platform is primarily delivered as a managed collection of cloud services in the IBM Cloud

The industrial base for Watson IoT centers on manufacturing and transportation enterprises.  Common use cases are predictive maintenance and asset monitoring. The industrial deployments are cloud-centric, with minimal examples of completely on-premises implementations. The Watson IoT platform is best-suited for cloud-centric deployments across a range of use cases spanning asset monitoring and process improvement.

Strengths

Watson IoT provides customers with a wide and deep set of functionalities to build IIoT-enabled business solutions.

Watson IoT analytics provides customers an easy-to-use graphical interface.

Cautions
Watson IoT has a more limited set of capabilities for edge deployments in factories and plants.
Deployment and ongoing management much more challenging for users.

How it all fits together
Connect your device, send data to our cloud, set up and manage your devices, and use APIs to connect apps to your device data.

Start with your device – whether it’s a sensor, gateway, or something else – and let us help you connect it with one of our recipes.
MQTT and HTTP

Your device data is always secure when you connect to the cloud using open, lightweight MQTT messaging protocol or HTTP.
IBM Watson IoT Platform

The hub of the IBM IoT approach – set up and manage your connected devices so your apps can access live and historical data.

REST and real-time APIs
Use our secure APIs to connect your apps with data from your devices.

Your application and analytics
Create applications within IBM Bluemix, another cloud, or your own servers to interpret data.


How much will it (IBM Watson IoT Platform)  cost?



The IBM Watson IoT Platform charges on three metrics.

Devices
The average number of devices you connect over the month. You get 20 free devices a month with each plan.

Data
The amount of data that devices exchange with the IBM Watson IoT Platform and associated applications.
You get free 100 MB data traffic a month with each plan (equivalent to 50,000 messages)
*assuming an average message size of 200 bytes

Storage
The amount of data stored in a historical database.
You get 1 GB free storage a month with each plan

The intelligent gateway for industrial IoT solutions

SIMATIC IOT2000

As part of Industry 4.0, networking of production and office IT continues to expand. Production data is collected and evaluated in the cloud to optimize production. Networking of existing plants is a major challenge in this regard, because the machines from different manufacturers and on different technological levels often do not speak the same data language. The solution is often time-consuming and complex retrofitting in these situations.
An intelligent gateway that harmonizes communication between the various data sources, analyses it and forwards it to the corresponding recipients, is a solution that can be easily implemented in these scenarios. It can be used to implement production concepts even for existing plants that are prepared to face the future
