Telecom Italia Digital Solutions (TIDS) makes a strategic move to capitalize on the huge business opportunities in the Internet of Things (IoT) segment via a new partnership with the provider of PLAT.ONE, the first Enterprise-Grade Internet of Things Application Platform. Its partnership with ABO Data, the company behind PLAT.ONE will enable TIDS to tap on PLAT-ONE's rich library of connected solutions.
The partnership will enable TIDS to develop and deploy Enterprise-Grade solutions for the ‘connected’ industry, merging its own commercial and solution development capabilities on PLAT.ONE's platform to roll out innovative solutions, starting with the end-to-end management of vending machines in the food and beverage sector. According to a statement, the solution enables vending operators to track their machines, monitoring operations, collecting and analyzing real-time data for the industry which is expected to have more than 3 million connected devices by 2018.
Moving further, both companies said that they will develop new services for specific industrial solutions including telemetry, remote control and automated diagnostics. PLAT.ONE is now available on Nuvola Italiana (Telecom Italia Cloud).
