IoT platforms will generate business volume 3.000 million euros in 2021

Choose the most platform suitable is becoming in a key decision for companies that want to manage your devices and monitor the continued growth of data volume.

In 2020 there will be 20.800 millions of connected devices around the world, according to the consultant Gartner. A market with enormous potential in which it is necessary to know how to manage the flow of data, the fleet of connected devices and SIM cards, for which IoT platforms have become essential to control and simplify this ever-increasing volume of data.

For your part, the consultant Berg Insight estimates that IoT platforms will generate a business volume of 3.000 million euros in the world 2021, in front of the 610 million euros of 2015.

Although there are currently different types available on the market, Identifying the most appropriate platform for a specific fleet of devices is becoming a crucial decision for companies. But which platform to choose and why use it??

Currently there are three types three types of IoT platforms. One is device management, that allows you to control the devices and interact with them remotely thanks to integrated modules or programs installed on these devices.

Another is connectivity management, a platform used to manage a fleet of SIM cards, since it offers a centralized view of device consumption and allows you to activate, suspend or terminate a SIM card, expand your connectivity, as well as facilitating the management of different connectivities from a single point.

Finally, The data management platform facilitates the management of data collected by devices, performing an aggregator task and converting the data for analysis and exploitation, in order to create applications.

According to Frédéric Salles, CEO of Matooma, company specialized in the connection and management of connected devices, “our company proposalit is M2M Manager, anda platform SaaS (software as a sservice) specially designed for daily management centralized of devices connected by SIM card”.

As this manager explains, This option “offers a real-time and remote management of connected devices, immediately centralizing information and with real-time access to tracking the objects”.

Another of its advantages is inventory management, with order functions, activation, suspension or cancellation, which can be managed from the platform interface, with simple management, both globally and individually, by differentiating each connected device.

It also centralizes products and connections. “Un IoT park can be composed of devices with different types of needs in terms of connectivity”, Salles points out. A connectivity management platform like M2M Manager allows you to manage and centralize this. For example, if an object needs a multi-operator SIM card with 5 MB of data and other device required 3 GB with a single operator, both can be controlled from the same platform.

Thanks to real-time data transmission, It is possible to control the direct consumption of the devices from the SIM card. In case of problems, Alerts can be sent to detect device malfunction or poor connectivity. These platforms also allow you to save time in monitoring and managing invoices by centralizing everything in a shared invoice., unique and accessible online from any device with Internet access.
