Siemens Digital Industries Software and SAS have joined to offer AI-embedded IoT analytics for edge and cloud.
Through the partnership, the technology companies will embed SAS and open source streaming analytics into Siemens’ IoT operating system Mindsphere. The new answer will provide a comprehensive, open-compatible AI framework for the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). This will help meet growing demands for IoT analytics with AI and machine learning capabilities.
These solutions aim to increase productivity and lessen operational risk through predictive and prescriptive maintenance as well as optimized asset performance management, for example. “SAS is a recognized world leader in advanced analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. We are enthusiastic to leverage their analytics in MindSphere,” said Stephen Bashada, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Siemens MindSphere. “The combination of Siemens’ deep industrial domain knowledge with SAS’ deep analytics knowledge is a powerful step forward for IoT.”
The solutions are expected to be presented later this year and will profit customers working in a range of industries including manufacturing, healthcare, energy, smart cities and automotive. Peter Pugh-Jones, Head of Technology at SAS, added: “Siemens stays unmatched when it comes to revolutionising operational assets, software and processes. Siemens is committed to digitising the world’s industries and provides a unique platform for IoT to realise its full potential through AI. “This partnership can accelerate adoption of the transformative value of IoT for our customers.”
