Siemens: Looking for an alternative? Discover MindSphere industrial IoT
Google Cloud Platform announced it is retiring its IoT Core service after August 16, 2023. Where one door closes, another opens. MindSphere, which is an integral part of the new Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, can replace your Google IoT Core service. With access to a wide range of IIoT solutions, applications, and other resources, you’ll be better equipped to unleash the power of the industrial IoT and its possibilities: lower costs, higher quality, more flexibility, efficiency, and faster innovation.
There are many things to consider as you search for a new IoT solution. Here’s what Siemens offers with MindSphere.
Proven reputation and reliability
MindSphere is a reliable and established solution that is here to stay. Gartner named Siemens as the sole Visionary vendor in its 2021 Magic Quadrant™ for industrial IoT platforms, while Forrester Wave™ named MindSphere as a Leader in industrial IoT software platforms in its Q3 2021 report.
With MindSphere, you can also leverage a diverse global partner ecosystem and Siemens’ domain expertise across industries to transform your IoT data into actionable insights.
Adopt quicker and scale faster
MindSphere is an IIoT solution that you can build on. Start by collecting, visualizing, and analyzing data in real-time in one centralized location. Then expand those insights with domain-specific out-of-the-box solutions that help you explore more data and discover more insights. Most importantly, these solutions address your specific industry challenges and use cases to support the transformation of your business.
For example, incorporate AI and machine learning; launch remote condition monitoring and remote services; implement energy management initiatives; even optimize products and production efficiency with the digital twin. Need something even more customized? APIs and integrated app lifecycle workflows enable you to be flexible and cost-efficient while creating your own apps. Build it for your own organization or publish it in the MindSphere marketplace for others to use as another revenue stream.
Multiple options for seamless integration
MindSphere offers multiple integration options with MindConnect – making the transition easy while offering plenty of flexibility and additional capabilities. The fully open software allows you to connect to any third-party machine – regardless of brand, type, or age – via open communication interfaces. Connect physical, web, and enterprise-based systems, as MindSphere supports multiple concurrent protocols, performs flexible data modeling, and leverages frictionless system integrations. Choose between different deployment options (public cloud, local private cloud or virtual private cloud).
