By building edge-to-cloud connectivity into products, Original
Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and enterprises can collect data
about how equipment is being used, allowing them to maximize
performance and uptime, reduce maintenance costs and offer
transformational equipment-as-a-service and consumption-based
services. The benefits for industrial companies are clear, however,
the complexities of implementing and scaling IoT solutions can make
it too expensive and risky for many to attempt. Octave simplifies
this complex integration, allowing companies to get applications up
and running within days instead of months, giving them access to
use their equipment data to unlock valuable insights and
opportunities.
Kent Thexton, President & CEO, Sierra Wireless, said: “It is
difficult, complex and time consuming to integrate wireless edge
technology. Octave is built on 25 years of Sierra Wireless IoT
experience to deliver a whole new way for OEMs and industrial
companies to access machine data in the cloud. Octave eliminates
the complex hardware integration, certification and security
concerns and allows businesses to seamlessly access their
operational data in the cloud and integrate it with their IT
systems.”
Secure, all-in-one edge-to-cloud solution for the Industrial
IoT
Sierra Wireless Octave integrates edge devices, network, and
interfaces to all major cloud service providers into an all-in-one
solution that securely extracts, orchestrates and acts on data from
remote assets at the edge to the cloud. Customers can focus on
building their business rather than reinventing technical
infrastructure, which dramatically reduces costs and development
time from several months to days for OEMs, system integrators and
enterprises.
A new report from Forrester Research reveals companies can get
to market up to 12 months sooner and reduce project costs by 42
percent using the Octave all-in-one edge-to-cloud solution, versus
sourcing discrete solutions.
Jan ten Sythoff, Senior TEI Consultant, Forrester Research,
said: “It is no longer a question of whether to attempt digital
transformation for industrial companies, but rather how to do so
successfully. Sierra Wireless’ Octave has created a new category of
IoT solutions, with cloud-based features and configuration that
make it much simpler for an organization’s development engineers.
Our research shows that using Octave reduces time to revenue, as
well as development, management and maintenance costs.”
Powerful technology and partnerships unite machine data with
existing IT systems
Octave will help industrial companies accelerate IoT
development, de-risk their IoT deployments and free them to focus
on their IoT data, rather than the infrastructure. With interfaces
to all major cloud service providers, Octave turns the Industrial
IoT into a cloud API that companies can merge with their existing
IT systems.
Tony Shakib, General Manager, Azure IoT Business Acceleration,
Microsoft Corp., said: “In June 2019, Sierra Wireless announced the
successful integration between Octave and Microsoft Azure IoT
Central. With Octave available and connected with Microsoft’s Azure
IoT Central offering, cloud developers can now deploy secure,
intelligent and reliable IoT device connectivity and collect data
as an extension of their Azure IoT Central experience.”
Early adopters of Octave have been able to innovate
faster
Axibio, a Paris-based biowaste management company, developed its
proprietary smart biowaste collector based on Octave. It is using
data collected from its system to revolutionize how waste is
managed, moving to an “Earn as You Throw” model, where people can
be rewarded for ecologically conscious behavior that meets
regulatory targets. Pierre-André Galy, Co-Founder and Axibio
Chairman, said: “With Sierra Wireless Octave, we didn’t need to
dedicate resources to developing the IoT infrastructure. Instead we
could focus on building our web application and let Octave handle
the rest. With the link from hardware to the cloud securely
established, our product now has a near-infinite number of
potential applications for a minimum development effort.”
David Mansfeld, Managing Partner at BM COM, a system integrator
and developer of IoT and augmented reality applications, said:
“With Octave, everything was easy to set up. The very first time we
plugged in the edge device and used Octave to connect it to our
solution, it worked. The entire process took less than a day. Being
able to immediately get the data we want from an edge device, when
we want it, will significantly speed up the testing of IoT
application POCs for us. Perhaps just as importantly, we think
Octave will not only make building and testing IoT applications
easier for us, but it will simplify application management and
updates for our customers over these applications’ lifetimes.”
Based on 25 years of IoT leadership
Octave is powered by Sierra Wireless Ready-to-Connect devices,
which come pre-certified and connected to Sierra Wireless’ IoT
network with coverage in more than 130 countries. It standardizes
data processing at the edge and the cloud, allowing developers to
process, analyze and act on data using a common JavaScript
framework, aligning OT and IT systems. Businesses can access
information from the edge and securely transfer it to their
existing cloud infrastructure using available APIs for all major
cloud platforms. Octave offers a transparent, flexible and
predictable pricing model that allows customers to pay based on the
number of messages and data points they want transmitted to the
cloud, rather than difficult to predict megabytes per month.
Innovation Summit 2019
Sierra Wireless will demonstrate Octave at the seventh annual
Sierra Wireless Innovation Summit, October 23-24, 2019, at the
Paris Novotel Tour Eiffel. Hear from customers, analysts,
