This report provides Transforma Insights’ view on the Water Smart Meters IoT market. The transition from traditional water meters to smart water meters is a global IoT initiative for water conservation and hygiene. By 2033, 789 million smart water meters will be deployed. The key driver behind the increase in their installation is water scarcity due to increasing consumption, water losses, and leakage. Other reasons include the ability to monitor and diagnose domestic, commercial, and industrial water consumption patterns as well as track costs with respect to resource utilisation. 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, including a detailed assessment of the progress of rollouts, 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 examines the capabilities of Hitachi in Digital Transformation. It provides a comprehensive review of the products, services, and capabilities of Hitachi across 11 technology areas and dozens of functions, to determine its core strengths for meeting enterprise needs. The 11 technology families in which the vendors capabilities are assessed are IoT, Hyperconnectivity, Human Machine Interface, Artificial Intelligence, Distributed Ledger, Data Sharing, Product Lifecycle Management, Robotic Process Automation, Edge Computing, Autonomous Robotic Systems, and 3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing. While these might not encompass every possible technology that organisations might need in order to purse a Digital Transformation, they certainly represent the most disruptive, and therefore the ones of which enterprises should be most aware. The report includes rating across each of the technology areas and functional capabilities (specialised hardware, general hardware, software products, integrated solutions, application development, systems integration and project management, specialist services, field & operational services) using Transforma Insight’s four-level universal rating system for vendors in Digital Transformation. Internet of Things, for instance, spans hardware, software, application development, implementation, field services and specialist services. For each of the 92 combinations of function and technology, Hitachi is rated for whether its capabilities are ‘Emerging’, ‘Significant’ or ‘Market Leading’ (or ‘None’). This rating is based on both the credibility of the solution and the position of the offering in the market (e.g. market share).
Remote Process Control: 121 million devices by 2033 driven by automation across the manufacturing sector

- Crop Irrigation Systems
This report provides Transforma Insights’ view on the Remote Process Control market. It comprises two applications: Industrial Remote Process Control and Crop Irrigation Systems. The Industrial Remote Process Control Application includes factory automation, airport automation systems, baggage handling, and automated port systems. Remote Process Control is suitable for multiple enterprise sectors including manufacturing, construction, and agriculture. Some of the primary drivers for its adoption are increased operational efficiency, worker safety, the creation of new business models, and cost savings for operators. Most of these solutions support the use of large and expensive equipment and can help to reduce maintenance bills and machine downtime. Several government initiatives such as Germany’s Industry 4.0, Made in China 2025, and Japan’s Society 5.0 have also been driving adoption and support, particularly in the manufacturing industry. 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.

Position Paper - Key considerations for Enterprises looking to adopt SGP.32
- Internet of Things
- IoT
- connectivity
- eSIM
- remote SIM provisioning
- SGP.32
This report, sponsored by Eseye, examines the new SGP.32 ("IoT") standard for Remote SIM Provisioning (RSP) and the ways in which enterprises should be considering its use. SGP.32 is not a magic wand. It does not solve all of the challenges of deploying multi-country IoT connectivity. For most enterprise deployments it is optimally done as part of a managed service which handles all aspects of managing the connectivity besides just the eSIM profile switching. Furthermore, as it is not yet available, any company considering deploying SGP.32 today will need to ensure that a connectivity provider offers a well-considered roadmap for evolving to using that particular standard. The SGP.32 ("IoT") standard for Remote SIM Provisioning was unveiled in May 2023, promising a more streamlined and user-friendly mechanism for enterprises to manage the connectivity on their cellular devices. As an evolution on the previous SGP.02 ("M2M") and SGP.22 ("Consumer") standards, it certainly represents several steps forward, resolving many of the technical limitations on supporting constrained devices and offering a simplified mechanism for handling switch-over of connections between operators. But that is just one element of the story. This report starts with a brief background on eSIM and remote SIM provisioning, with a particular focus on how SGP.32 is an improvement on previous standards. The main focus of the report is on addressing some of the myths and misunderstandings associated with the technology. It is not, on its own, a magic wand that can be used to seamlessly provide unlimited access to every network. The truth is more complicated. Commercial contracts need to be negotiated with network operators, and back-end processes and settings need to be updated to reflect a change of connectivity provider. It's not just as simple as flipping a switch and changing from operator A to operator B. And, equally importantly, SGP.32 is not actually available today and likely won't be until 2025. Therefore anyone looking to deploy IoT imminently will need to use a different option and seek support to migrate to the new standard when it's available. We expect that most SGP.32 deployments will be handled not by the enterprise itself but by a managed service provider (most obviously the existing connectivity providers) handling the orchestration of connectivity changes and providing a managed transition to SGP.32 when the time comes. In the final section we consider what the profile should be of such an SGP.32 managed service provider. There is a very significant risk with SGP.32 that the real (and perceived) benefits will blind enterprises to the realities of the intricacies of managing the overall IoT solution deployment and the requirements for a migration path to get there.
