Siemens' MindSphere Continues Industrial IoT Momentum

PLANO, Texas, Feb. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has the potential to significantly improve global productivity and growth, with Accenture estimating that this latest wave of digital innovation will accelerate the reinvention of sectors that account for almost two-thirds of world output and add US$14.2 trillion to the global economy by 2030.  As companies around the world continue to develop IIoT strategies and implement solutions, they are increasingly partnering with Siemens and choosing MindSphere®, the cloud-based, open Internet of Things (IoT) operating system, as the foundation of their IIoT programs. Recently, Siemens was among the select companies that Forrester invited to participate in The Forrester Wave™: Industrial IoT Software Platforms, Q4 2019 evaluation. In this evaluation, Siemens' MindSphere was cited as a Leader in Industrial IoT Software Platforms. Over the past year, MindSphere significantly grew its partner program, and announced major new customer wins and Siemens' expansion of the Mendix platform to include cloud and app services for digital engineering and IoT powered by MindSphere, which is at the heart of its powerful Xcelerator portfolio.

According to Forrester, "MindSphere builds on Siemens' strength in industrial equipment and controllers but isn't limited to interacting with Siemens hardware. The company continues to tell a strong story about the importance of the digital twin, and MindSphere plays a key part in turning this vision into something pragmatic and implementable. MindSphere is well suited to customers with existing investments in the Siemens ecosystem but also deserves the attention of any industrial company interested in tapping Siemens' deep domain knowledge and the experience it's gained from its own internal digital transformation."
