Siemens is planning to integrate Watson Analytics, among other IBM analytics tools, into its cloud-based operating system for the Internet of Things.
By integrating these tools into the system, called MindSphere, Siemens provides app developers and data analysts with access to visualization and dashboards for digestible analytics insights. MindSphere users will be able to leverage analytics to predict failure patterns and initiate corrective measures, in an effort to improve overall product quality.
In particular, Siemens notes that this partnership will support industrial enterprises in terms of predictive maintenance and resource optimization.
