Axeda and Intel Introduce Internet of Things Solutions for Industrial, Energy & Transportation Industries [Professional Services Close - Up]


(Professional Services Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Axeda, a cloud-based service and software for connecting, building and managing Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, announced a technology alliance with Intel that utilizes the advantages of the Intel Quark SoC X1000 Series processors to help evolve IoT solutions for the industrial, energy & transportation industries.



According to a release, the collaboration includes Axeda Ready certification of the Intel Galileo development board and Intel Quark SoC X1000 Series processor to ensure compatibility with the Axeda Machine Cloud.

Axeda and Intel have also developed an Axeda Go developer kit for connecting an Intel Galileo development board to the Axeda Machine Cloud, provisioning the device on the Axeda Machine Cloud developer site, and installing the Axeda Agent code into a Galileo workspace. The Intel Galileo board is based on the Intel Quark SoC X1000, a 32- bit Intel Pentium-class system on a chip (SoC) and is software- compatible with the Arduino Software Development Environment.


In addition, the board has several industry standard I/O ports including a full sized mini-PCI Express slot, 100Mb Ethernet port, Micro-SD slot, RS-232 serial port, USB Host port, and USB Client Port.

"The Internet of Things is enabling and accelerating new services and capabilities, and Intel's vision to push into lower power regimes, combined with high temp capabilities is a game-changer for industrial, energy and transportation," said Todd DeSisto, Axeda President and CEO. "By enabling Intel processor and communication technology to seamlessly work with the Axeda Machine Cloud, we are offering entirely new building blocks for IoT delivery." "The impact of the IoT in transportation, energy and industry is undeniable, but its promise will only be realized when industry leaders enable customers to turn the vision into reality," said Kumar Balasubramanian, general manager, IoT Solutions Group, Intel. "Our work with Axeda will enable broader adoption and is ideally suited for the industrial, energy and transportation sectors."
