According to a recent research study by 451 Group, 65 percent of
enterprises are using the Internet of Things (IoT) to optimize their
services and product offerings. With the SAMSUNG ARTIK™ platform, many
of these enterprises now can build IoT solutions to further transform
their businesses and enter new markets.
Today, businesses struggle to build IoT solutions in-house. They have to
grapple with the tasks of building a scalable infrastructure, adding new
expertise and managing cumbersome integrations. The SAMSUNG ARTIK Smart
IoT end-to-end platform provides companies with all the upfront IoT
hardware and software they need, so they can focus on developing
disruptive IoT products quickly and simply.
"IoT is one of Samsung's major strategic areas of focus and growth,"
said Dr. Byungse So, Executive Vice President & Chief Technology Officer
for the Samsung Strategy & Innovation Center. "By enabling the
product-development cycle to flourish, we can help usher in the next
generation of IoT innovation. We're paving the way for companies to
reimagine how these new devices, apps and services can impact everyday
life to address global challenges."
Internal groups at Samsung are leveraging the SAMSUNG ARTIK platform to
build fresh new IoT solutions of their own. For example, Samsung's
Consumer Electronics division has leveraged the SAMSUNG ARTIK platform
to create an IoT smart air purifier. "The SAMSUNG ARTIK platform allowed
us to cost-effectively build prototypes of our new solution and quickly
get it to market," said Youngsoo Do, Senior Vice President of Digital
Control Group, Samsung Electronics. "With the SAMSUNG ARTIK platform, we
also have the ability to connect intelligently to other smart devices,
as well as to the cloud, which enables new use cases."
An End-to-End IoT Solution
The SAMSUNG ARTIK Smart IoT platform unifies hardware, software, cloud,
security and partner ecosystems in a single offering so that enterprises
can reduce the time, cost and risk typically associated with the
delivery of complex IoT solutions. Unlike other IoT platforms, the
SAMSUNG ARTIK Smart IoT platform makes it easy to build IoT products and
services by addressing the complexity of IoT with easy-to-use, open and
enterprise-grade APIs, SDKs and tools. Key additions to the new SAMSUNG
ARTIK platform include:
-
ARTIK 0 family: The ARTIK 0 family of modules enables
low-power, lightweight, cost-optimized devices targeted at end-devices
including HVAC, lighting, industrial sensors, personal health
monitoring and more. The modules are built on power-optimized ARM
Cortex®-M microcontrollers and support low-power wireless standards,
such as the ZigBee (News - Alert)®, Thread®, or Bluetooth® Smart standards. They save
customers time and money by providing a complete connectivity
solution, including networking stacks, radio frequency (RF) components
and precertification for regulatory approval.
-
ARTIK 7 family: The ARTIK 7 family of modules is intended for
high-end gateways and multimedia applications. With an 8-core 64-bit
Cortex A-53 processor, the modules work well as gateways and also
allow customers to run local analytics, which enables offloading of
cloud computing locally to boost latency and responsiveness. The ARTIK
7 module provides unrivaled connectivity, with built-in Wi-Fi®,
Bluetooth®, ZigBee®, Thread® and GbE MAC interfaces. It has a high-end
multimedia processor for video and audio processing. The pre-installed
Linux® operating system (OS) speeds time to revenue by providing a
powerful OS supported by an extensive developer community. The ARTIK 7
module is RF pre-certified and features enterprise-class security.
-
Device management: The new SAMSUNG ARTIK modules are designed
to work out of the box with the powerful SAMSUNG ARTIK Cloud, an open
data-exchange platform that connects devices, applications and other
clouds, enabling the Interoperability of Things. Device manufacturers
can now monitor and manage their fleet of deployed devices, both edge
nodes and gateways, using SAMSUNG ARTIK Cloud. They can uniquely
identify each device, monitor its connectivity status, manage
properties, such as firmware version and battery levels, and remotely
execute functions on the device, including reboot, factory reset,
firmware update, and reset error code.
An Expanded Partner Ecosystem
Today's announcement is further endorsed by the addition of leading
global distributors, service providers and technology solution partners.
Together these partners provide a wide range of services and
capabilities to help companies seamlessly build innovative IoT solutions
and get them to market faster.
"Naver is leveraging the SAMSUNG ARTIK platform and partner ecosystem to
introduce a new voice-controlled smart home assistant called AMICA as an
entry into the world of IoT," said Chang Song, CTO of Naver Corporation,
a leading portal in Korea that invests heavily in the development of new
technologies. "AMICA, running on the SAMSUNG ARTIK platform, will enable
advanced natural language processing that can usher in exciting new IoT
applications and consumer products. By partnering with Samsung, we can
effectively grow our opportunities in IoT across Asia. Additionally,
Naver developers can soon access SAMSUNG ARTIK Cloud via a single
sign-on, which will further speed new product development."
"The SAMSUNG ARTIK platform delivers modular solutions with integrated
connectivity and cloud enablement," said Aiden Mitchell, Vice President
of Global IoT Solutions at Arrow Electronics (News - Alert). "We are pleased to support
the SAMSUNG ARTIK platform with its low-power edge, control and gateway
solutions, as the integration will help speed customers in their IoT
development and time to market."
"Samsung is a key partner and we look forward to offering our customers
the option to purchase SAMSUNG ARTIK modules, thereby providing them
with a powerful new way to build IoT products," said Yunshik Kim,
Executive Vice President at MUJIN. "We support Samsung's vision for an
end-to-end IoT platform and we are excited to take this step together as
the Korean distributor for SAMSUNG ARTIK modules."
As a proud member of the Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF), a leading
IoT industry standard group, Samsung is also bringing open IoT
technologies to advance interoperability between connected devices and
enable the full operating potential of IoT by leveraging the SAMSUNG
ARTIK platform and IoTivity open-source software.
The new SAMSUNG ARTIK modules are available for order immediately and
worldwide through distribution partners, Arrow, Digi-Key and Mujin. You
