- IoT Platform
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are two of today’s most impactful technology developments. Inevitably, an increasing range of both enterprise and consumer applications and solutions leverage both technologies, so that they are enabled by both AI and IoT. A growing subset of these applications and solutions incorporate AI capabilities directly onboard an IoT device, as AIoT, unlocking benefits ranging from faster response times to more efficient use of connectivity bandwidth. This report focusses on the implications that the growth of AIoT might have on software platforms designed to support AIoT applications. Supporting software platforms for IoT are relatively well-developed, including Connectivity Management Platforms, Device Management Platforms, Application Enablement Platforms, and more. Meanwhile, supporting software platforms for AI are developing fast, and include concepts such as Application Performance Management, Software Management (often referred to as MLOps), Workload Management, and more. Since AIoT is defined as occurring when AI and IoT converge onboard devices, it is natural that platforms that are designed to support AIoT devices should include a set of capabilities that are drawn from both AI and IoT domains, alongside new AIoT-specific capabilities. This report discusses some of the key capabilities that a software platform specified to support AIoT devices should have. It focusses on the specific requirements for supporting AIoT devices, rather than more generic requirements that are well-known in either IoT or AI contexts.

Application Performance Management (APM) is a tool for both monitoring and managing the performance and health of software applications. APM tools automatically collect application performance data, analyse application behaviour, and identify issues in real-time, enabling businesses to ensure optimal performance, enhance user experience, and minimise downtime. In this report, we delve into the role of APM in monitoring and optimising AI software application performance, utilising data analysis and real-time issue identification to enhance user experience and minimise downtime. We discuss how APM provides a dashboard-like view of AI applications, offering deep insights into system health and efficiency, thereby significantly reducing operational disruptions and maintenance costs. Further, we explore the APM vendor landscape, categorising key players like Arize AI, Datadog, and Dynatrace, using a four-quadrant analysis that assesses their innovation and market presence. Additionally, we address the sector's evolution driven by advances in cloud infrastructure, emphasising the importance of maintaining user-friendly tools despite increasing system complexity. Lastly, we highlight the critical need for these tools to integrate seamlessly with diverse IT ecosystems and comply with strict data security regulations. Real-time analytics are the key characteristic of APM solutions because they must allow developers and IT professionals to detect and address issues promptly and before users experience problems or service degradation. This is critical in environments where AI applications must perform at high levels of reliability and speed, such as in financial trading or autonomous driving systems. AI APM also supports the continuous improvement of AI models by providing data used to refine algorithms and enhance performance.

This report provides Transforma Insights’ view on the use of IoT to support Community Heating. Community Heating (CH) involves generating heat in a centralised location and then distributing the heat across businesses, residences and industry. Community heating is most common in colder countries, particularly the Nordic countries, China, Russia, and some parts of North America. Some of the prominent advantages of community heating solutions are energy saving, reduced carbon emissions, and improved load balancing when compared to traditional heating solutions. The market for community heating has been backed by several government initiatives and schemes that support its deployment not only because of the environmental benefits it provides in densely populated areas but also as a method for encouraging employment due to the need for considerable infrastructure investment. Community heating and cooling systems are gaining traction, yet their deployment is still far behind individual solutions. This is because of several disadvantages including lack of scalability in less densely populated areas, billing complexities, irregular heat distribution, lack of user control, and issues such as overheating in less sophisticated systems. To improve efficiency, CH systems are increasingly using smart heat meters to measure consumption, detect faults remotely, support load balancing, and help to reduce carbon emissions. The report provides a detailed definition of the sector, analysis of market development and profiles of the key vendors in the space. It also provides a summary of the current status of adoption and Transforma Insights’ ten-year forecasts for the market. The forecasts include analysis of the number of IoT connections by geography, the technologies used (including splits by 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, LPWA, short range, satellite and others), as well as the revenue split between module, value-added connectivity and services. A full set of forecast data, including country-level forecasts, sector break-downs and public/private network splits, is available through the IoT Forecast tool.

This report analyses the dynamics of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Marketplaces, one of the key vendor types identified in Transforma Insights’ AI Market Framework. It includes discussion of their many stakeholders such as developers, data owners, and regulators who converge to coordinate their developments and trade AI models and services with end users. Other dynamics include ensuring the privacy and security of the data, end users who require help with technical expertise to assess model quality, ongoing maintenance requirements for products developed, and the proprietary nature of many of the solutions created. The types of marketplaces and the vendors associated with them are segmented into generalist and specialist types and reviewed for their capabilities, including infrastructure, Machine Learning (ML) models, data storage, computing resources, and others. We also draw attention to how marketplace platforms can promote standards, are challenged by regulatory complexities, and advance AI solutions across industry sectors. Marketplaces are digital spaces that connect AI vendors and adopters, including AI service developers, vendors of pre-trained AI models and enterprises and other end users, who can then coordinate the exchange of services, payments, and AI solutions. Marketplaces are platforms and can be open, single-master, or consortium-driven. Single-master and consortium-driven marketplaces are curated, in the former case by a single vendor (for example, AWS) and in the latter case, by a group in a consortium. Curated marketplaces often cater for a more specific user base (including vendors and products) and focus on hosting AI solutions that match that focus.
