The Internet of Things – everywhere, anytime, connected.
More than 30 billion devices are connected to the internet worldwide. From the smart home through industrial machines to connected vehicles – IoT has long been a reality. Companies that don’t embrace digital connectivity now are risking their competitiveness.
But for SMEs, the decisive question arises: Which IoT platform is the right one?
Technical connection is easy – the right strategy is what counts
Thanks to standardized protocols such as Modbus, CAN bus, OPC-UA, or MQTT, almost any device can send data. The real challenge lies not in the connection but in preparing the collected data in a meaningful way and making it usable:
✅ Pure visualization or in-depth analysis?
✅ Device management and permission systems – how flexible is the solution?
✅ Integration into existing systems – seamless or complicated?
✅ Costs: a cheap entry point or expensive scaling in the long run?
Plug & play or a custom solution? The devil is in the details
Many providers advertise “ready-made” solutions. But often what’s behind them is a modular building-block principle that later causes high additional costs. SMEs should check carefully:
- Are all the necessary functions included, or do essential features have to be developed later?
- How expensive does connecting new devices become as the company grows?
- What long-term license costs arise from large cloud providers?
Because one thing is clear: Once introduced, an IoT system is rarely replaced. The right choice determines future success.
