In 2001 when I joined ProSyst Software

ProSyst was one the few software vendors focusing on

Connected Home

The term „Internet of Things“ was used in the scientific

research community

An Open Platform was really scary !!

Everybody was on the hunt for the Killer Application

SMS being the prime example

Investments were not made due to missing business models

Customers canceled their product launches

We were offering a solution for a problem that did not

exist


In 2016 Interoperability is still a major

challenge

Its all about Platforms & Ecosystems

360+ IoT Platforms (Soure: IoT Analystics 2016)

Many domains (Energy, IIoT, Smart Home, Healthcare, etc.)

Wide range of devices

Starting with simple device like temperature sensors to complex

manufacturing machines

No single solution can handle this complexity

Device abstraction can take away only some of the

complexity

Complexity is increasing due to the fact that domains (e.g.

smart home with smart energy) are merging

What OSGi means for Bosch

“For Bosch Software Innovations, OSGi offers the right balance between flexibility and hardware cost for IoT gateways. There is currently no other technology that is both more future-proof on IoT gateways and more mature than OSGi. Having integrated ProSyst’s technology into our Bosch IoT Suite, an open IoT platform, our customers and partners can profit a widely used, fast and highly efficient OSGi implementation in commercial M2M and IoT applications.”
