NEC and Siemens team up for IoT monitoring partnership

NEC Corporation has announced that it will be collaborating with Siemens to provide artificial intelligence (AI) monitoring and analysis. In a press release, NEC said that the collaboration will provide a solution for manufacturing that connects MindSphere, the cloud-based, open IoT operating system from Siemens, and NEC’s System Invariant Analysis Technology (SIAT). According to the agreement that was signed by the two companies, NEC will be joining the MindSphere Partner Program, which can provide NEC with access to specialised technical training and support from Siemens as well as a number of joint go-to-market capabilities. Last April, Siemens announced the availability of Mendix, its low-code enterprise app development platform, on its MindSphere system. The move focused on offering essential support that is needed to easily test, develop and deliver MindSphere applications.
