Siemens recently announced that the latest release of MindSphere, the company’s open cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT) operating system, will be hosted for the first time on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in January 2018. This provides the ability to develop industrial IoT solutions on a shorter timeline for customers across various industries, especially aerospace and defense as well as energy and utilities. Siemens’ industrial domain knowledge and experience, coupled with the scalability and security available through AWS, provides its customers with increased capabilities to bring industrial IoT to businesses of all sizes.
MindSphere delivers a wide range of device and enterprise application connectivity protocol options, industry applications, advanced analytics and an innovative development environment that utilizes both Siemens’ open Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) capabilities along with access to AWS cloud services. Through these capabilities, MindSphere connects real things to the digital world and provides powerful industry applications and digital services to help drive business success. MindSphere’s open PaaS enables a partner ecosystem to develop and deliver new applications; and its applications are being developed across multiple Siemens business units, with openness as a key cornerstone. At the recent EMO 2017 exhibition in Hannover, Germany, Siemens connected over 240 different machine tools from over 140 manufacturers across the entire exhibition site using its “Manage MyMachines” application on MindSphere.
MindSphere provides an opportunity to participate in the digital transformation of companies regardless of industry or size. With Siemens’ global base of millions of installed devices, Siemens and its partners can develop MindSphere applications through application programming interfaces (APIs) and deliver digital services in collaboration with AWS. These collaborations enable MindSphere to provide a holistic set of IoT solutions and services, matching the requirements of customers, providing numerous opportunities to build and operate digital offerings around MindSphere on AWS. Together, both parties believe they’ve provided a fertile breeding ground for business-ready IoT solutions.
