PTC and Hewlett Packard to collaborate on IoT solutions

PTC and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) have announced a collaboration to make available Converged IoT Solutions, based on PTC ThingWorx software and HPE Edgeline Systems. As planned, the collaboration will focus on industrial use cases, incorporating PTC’s ThingWorx IoT platform technologies and HPE’s hardware and data services.

Andrew Timm, chief technology officer, PTC, said: “Companies working together to solve industry challenges is the fastest way to accelerate IoT innovation and bring about meaningful business value.”

The collaboration is expected to result in the availability of a pre-tested best-in-class hardware and software combination that will enable customers to solve IoT data management problems and make decisions from sensor data more effectively. The collaboration plans to demonstrate complete hardware and software technologies specifically designed for IoT edge computing and smart, connected solutions. This includes sensors, edge compute, real-time edge analytics, machine learning, and augmented reality.

“The IoT promises access to immense amounts of pent up data which hold great insights that enable customers to accelerate business, engineering, and scientific outcomes,” added Dr Tom Bradicich, VP & GM, servers and IoT solutions, Hewlett Packard Enterprise. “The HPE Edgeline Converged IoT Systems coupled with Aruba connectivity and PTC’s leading technologies are a strong combination for unleashing these data and insights for our customers.”

Other companies exploring IoT opportunities with PTC and HPE include National Instruments, OSIsoft, and Deloitte.
