Five simple steps to IoT implementation

ADLINK Technology has announced a new eGuidethat offers advice and guidance on how to achieve success when implementing Edge IoT technology into a business.

By following five simple steps, digital experimentation tests the potential of IoT hypotheses to determine the viability of possible solutions with none of the upfront costs and risk associated with a full solution commitment.



“Two of the most important topics of IoT today are security and partner ecosystem,” says Andy Penfold, Director of Offering Management at ADLINK and author of the eGuide. “ADLINK Edge IoT Digital experiments-as-a-service provides all the resources required to get digital experiments up and running in five simple steps – think big, start small, keep trying, build an ecosystem and recognize the facts when integrating IoT-based functionality within new business models or processes.”

The subscription based platform includes pre-validated hardware, client asset connection, data movement consolidation to bridge the IT/OT gap, enterprise sharing, endpoint management, and field and professional services.

The ADLINK approach treats each project individually to determine which areas are likely to be affected by the solution, from ground level operations to admin and resource allocation. Each digital experiment is defined at the intersection of people, places and affected assets, where most value can be created.

“Our service leverages technologies through all layers of the required hardware, software and network stacks to create viable, scalable and secure IoT solutions,” adds Penfold. “These solutions span not only capabilities from ADLINK but also from partners throughout our ecosystem, and are therefore vendor neutral in nature.”
