Deutsche Telekom is launching new, end-to-end bundles to enable customers to deploy and use IoT solutions quickly and easily, without complex installation.
The bundles contain everything an end-to-end IoT solution needs: hardware, mobile connectivity, cloud storage, and a user-friendly web portal.
The first end-to-end solutions are "Asset Tracking" and "Industrial Machine Monitoring"; more bundles for a variety of industries and use cases will follow.
Therefore an essential component of all the IoT bundles is access to Deutsche Telekom's IoT platform – the "Cloud of Things powered by Cumulocity", which Deutsche Telekom operates in collaboration with Software AG.
The Asset Tracking end-to-end package includes a tracker whose battery life has been optimized specifically for long-term, mobile, outdoor use; access to the Asset Tracking web portal; wireless connectivity; and cloud storage. Integration and analysis of the data in downstream systems such as SAP is possible at any time and the solution can be tailored to companies' specific needs, thanks to the open interfaces.
The "Industrial Machine Monitoring" end-to-end solution lets companies automate the monitoring of their machinery, giving them reliable, real-time information about their current status. After a few simple configuration steps, the machine data can be transferred quickly. All machines and devices that use an industry protocol such as Modbus RTU can be connected with Deutsche Telekom's IoT platform, visualized, and monitored through the Cloud Fieldbus.
Another straightforward solution for getting started with the Internet of Things is Deutsche Telekom's IoT Service Button. This solution lets companies retrofit production equipment, workshops, construction sites, or hospitals, to make them “smart” and connect them with the Internet of Things. A button can be configured to order spare parts, trigger a pickup for full containers, or report technical malfunctions when pressed, for example, depending on the customer's specific needs.
