Thingswise LLC pitches a conceptual IIoT streaming analytics platform designed to bridge OT and IT. While the technical problem is real, the submission is deeply compromised by exaggerated and illogical claims, such as stating 'everyone' is the audience and 'most people have used my product.' For a 6-person team with no clear user metrics, these responses demonstrate poor submission quality and lack of verifiable traction, resulting in a minimal PoU score.

Description
We see the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) as the convergence of Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) and we want to enable this convergence by making IT work for OT through simplifying and optimizing the requisite IT technologies based on OT requirements into a solution platform. We provide a streaming analytic platform that adapts and innovates the latest Big Data, Machine Learning and Cloud Computing technologies into a turn-key solution for IIoT. The platform deploys in Cloud, Edge or IoT gateways supporting dynamically distributed analytics and can be customized into specific use cases through declarative configurations. It is designed to enable intelligent industrial operations that are secure, reliable and scalable. Our goal is to help our industrial customers to get results and create values, quickly and cost-effectively, in realizing the promise of IIoT. Our approach is to offer the power of Big Data, Machine Learning and Cloud Computing technologies without their complexity and demand of expertise and to reduce IIoT development effort, risks, cost and time-to-value-creation.
