Global Industrial AIoT Platforms
Global industrial AIoT platforms are incorporating agentic AI capabilities to deliver autonomous operations. This Magic Quadrant highlights IoT’s role in this important transition while advising CIOs that the market is still early in its evolution, adoption and value delivery.
Market Definition
Gartner defines the global industrial artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) platforms market as a series of seamlessly integrated technologies. The market delivers industrial data aggregation and curation, IIoT device management of industrial assets, ease of integration with IT systems, and unlocks the value of industrial applications and AI. The platform aggregates, curates and delivers contextualized insights to enable industrial applications, analytics and AI driven insights. All capabilities should be available in deployments of on-premises, cloud and hybrid instances.
The industrial AIoT platform monitors IoT endpoints and event streams, supports and transforms data using a variety of manufacturer and industry proprietary protocols. It analyses real-time data in the platform, at the edge and in the cloud, and integrates and engages IT and operational technology (OT) systems in data sharing and consumption. The platform enables application development and deployment and extends and augments OT functions for improved asset management life cycle strategies and processes. In some emerging use cases, the AIoT platform replaces selected OT analysis software functions with advanced AI techniques (agentic AI) while maintaining the required levels of reliability, responsiveness, determinism and operational safety expected in industrial environments. In recent years, the industrial AIoT platform has become the go-to platform for deploying, orchestrating and executing AI models in live industrial operations, and uses data management functions to replace legacy historian databases.
The industrial AIoT platform, in concert with the IoT edge and through enterprise IT/OT integration, enables asset-intensive industries to become digital businesses that were initiated by the Industry 4.0 during the 2010s. By enhancing and connecting their core business with external business partners, asset-intensive industries are transforming their operations to achieve higher levels of automation and optimization, which are now keeping humans in or on the loop and sustainable KPIs with the latest Industry 5.0 trend.
