Where should the IoT platform go? Not only "professional deepening" but also "cross-disciplinary development"

The development of the Internet of Things has gradually deepened towards the vertical field. The vertical field is extensive, and there are many industrial chain manufacturers. It is difficult to rely on the efforts of individual manufacturers. Therefore, many leading manufacturers have launched IoT platforms, such as chip maker Intel to launch the retail Internet of Things. The platform Responsive Retail Platform promotes professional deepening in the retail industry, while energy management giant Schneider launches a new generation of EcoStruxure architecture, hoping to further integrate cross-domain fields, both of which try to differentiate with different positioning.

Intel launches retail IoT platform and attempts to integrate different technologies to deepen retail services

Following Amazon's launch of the new state-of-the-art retail concept store Amazon Go, Intel also launched the retail IoT platform Responsive Retail Platform (later RRP) on January 16, 2017, announcing that it will continue to invest $100 million over the next five years. In this field, we hope to use this platform to integrate different technologies and different retail models, improve the overall consumption experience, and explore more insights from the retail industry.

RRP will use sensing devices (such as RFID, Smart Tag), smart devices (such as Camera, Robot), gateways, network transmission (3G, LTE), cloud data analysis, integration of numerous hardware and service processes within the retail store Intel has implemented the RFID smart label for the clothing store Levis project between 2015 and 2016. This time, RRP also announced a Tally robot that cooperates with the startup Simbe RoboTIcs, which can be used for automated scanning of products in retail stores. and analyse.

The above cases are basically conceivable on top of RRP. Currently, the platform also has many ecosystem partners, including Avery Dennison, By Reveal, Honeywell, Fujitsu, JDA, RetailNext, SAP, SATO, and can directly interact with existing markets. The platform is compatible, including Arrow Intelligent Systems, Smartrac, Acuitas Digital Alliance, Tyco Retail SoluTIons, Detego, Bluemetal, RIoT Insight, GlobeRanger, etc., allowing different types of physical retail stores to have limited resources (such as manpower, funds, inventory) Under, gain more consumer information and achieve flexible adjustment and application of in-store resources, and improve the overall service level and consumption experience through various technologies.

According to VehicleTrend, there are hundreds of retailers. Different retailers have different customer groups and customer needs. The design and service processes of physical stores are naturally very different. Therefore, the platform cannot provide only various equipments and technologies. It is more important to integrate the expertise of the retailers (Know-How) to continue to expand the integrity of the ecosystem.

Schneider launches EcoStruxure, a cross-domain IoT platform, which is expected to integrate four major domains

Schneider, a major energy management company, also launched a new EcoStruxure platform in mid-January 2017. The architecture includes interconnected products, edge control, application analysis services, and end-to-end network security, combined with cloud and On the spot side, I hope to achieve the integration and concatenation of OT and IT.

According to Takuya observation, there are quite a few manufacturers in the market that have launched related IoT architecture platforms. GE's Predix and Siemens' MindSphere are all launched in response to the trend of intelligentization and industrial Internet of Things. From the perspective of the ecosystem, the industry is reorganizing, and from the perspective of playing the platform to promote its own business transformation and market share, Schneider certainly has this plan, but the difference with GE and Siemens is that Schneider started with distribution and focused on Building automation and energy management solutions have different target markets, and EcoStruxure is not oriented to standard setters, but is open to all standards in the market.

The EcoStruxure platform will now focus on four major areas, including buildings, data centers, industrial and power grids, and will use EcoStruxure.io to gradually integrate the four fields in the future, combining the expertise of different fields and collecting them. The information coming will also be more based on the reference value, but its ability to network security will also become an important development consideration.

VehicleTrend believes that many large manufacturers promote their own platforms. If they are in the right direction, they will become a powerful force to dominate the market. When the ecosystem and enough partners are established, the position in the market will become more unbreakable and form the larger one. Evergrande trend, many manufacturers are bound to go deeper in a more service-oriented direction, which means that in the market that is now more and more difficult to cut, finding a clear market position will be the key to development.
