IoT is an abbreviation of the Internet of Things, a wide term that includes hardware and software that can operate without human participation. Internet of things solution companies create devices and solutions to integrate with existing systems or to be a part of a completely new one.
IoT consulting companies help to design and deliver connectivity networks, smart homes, devices, etc. Dedicated software development teams allow businesses to optimize internal processes or offer new possibilities to end-users. Overall, the industry experienced constant growth. According to Statista, the number of IoT devices worldwide is forecast to rise over 31 billion in 2030. Only the smart homes sphere brings $892 billion in spending to the industry.
Nowadays, IoT consulting services and development are used by a large number of companies of all sizes. Startups partner with IoT service providers to build MVPs, middle-sized companies work to optimize processes and workflows. And large corporations aim to deliver end-products faster and with a higher customer experience.
The number of IoT devices has increased dramatically. In 2009, there were around 0.9 billion devices globally. In 2020, there were 20 billion devices. From fitness bracelets to industrial and manufacturing solutions, outsourcing IoT development is a steadily growing trend.
As for IoT Ukraine, the local IT industry follows global trends. There is a decent number of cloud-managed service providers and IoT software development companies ready to work with local and international firms on research, design, development, and delivery.
Ukraine offers access to a huge talent pool of more than 200,000 IT professionals. The IT industry is projected to reach $4.5 billion in export worth by 2025. Annually, local higher education institutions prepare about 16,000 new specialists qualified in all modern technologies, from AI and IoT to Data Science.
Another major benefit of Ukrainian IoT solution providers is that salary rates here are significantly lower than in many other countries (USA, Canada, UK, or EU).
IoT Solutions for Modernization and EfficiencyÂ
Professional internet of things consultants and developers allow the implementation of innovative systems into a workflow of a company or startup.
Here are the primary benefits an IoT consulting firm can deliver to your business:
- Optimization of manufacturing and workflow productivity. With AI, Big Data, and Machine learning systems in place, the manufacturing processes can be significantly optimized. It reduces the risk of errors and boosts the response time for specific events. Custom systems can manage warehouses the same way they can control smart houses.
- Access to data. An expert IoT development company can design and create software for data collection and analysis. The huge volumes of data can be converted and interpreted for increased efficiency.
- Architecture and design by IoT development service for custom devices and applications. They can deliver a full cycle of services, from an idea up to UI/UX design, hardware, and software design, and development.
- Consultancy of the best practices and platforms to use. A suitable IoT services company will analyze and evaluate business processes, needs, and objectives to offer advice on what can be implemented and how.
Almost any company can significantly increase its productivity with the use of this technology. It gives access to AI, Big Data, and Machine Learning. Together, they allow a high level of automation, optimization, and insights into huge amounts of data.
That’s why a lot of businesses already have an IoT engineer on their team. According to Microsoft, 80% of corporations are implementing these solutions in their practice.
IoT Integration Best Practices
Surely, the exact technologies and practices depend on the project, scope, and business needs. It is a huge field that boosts companies across many industries. That’s why some IoT development companies in Europe focus on specific spheres or types of software/hardware.
However, there are some common practices any project of this sort needs to follow, namely:
- Focus on Connectivity. It should be flexible, reliable, and able to handle different types of cooperation between devices.
- Data analysis. It is important not only to collect data but interpret it and use it according to specific goals.
- Start with ready-to-use solutions. In the ideation and design stages, it is time-consuming to focus on the products that already exist. Maybe some of them can be used in the system, which will also save the budget.
- Use the business model as the foundation of the architecture and functionality of the product. It has to offer the most value with its features.
- Plan scaling up right away. The network needs to be able to proliferate.
- Consider decentralized network infrastructure.
