Looking for an alternative? Discover Insights Hub industrial IoT

Google Cloud Platform announced it is retiring its IoT Core service after August 16, 2023. Where one door closes, another opens. Insights Hub, which is an integral part of the new Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, can replace your Google IoT Core service. With access to a wide range of IIoT solutions, applications, and other resources, you’ll be better equipped to unleash the power of the industrial IoT and its possibilities: lower costs, higher quality, more flexibility, efficiency, and faster innovation.

There are many things to consider as you search for a new IoT solution. Here’s what Siemens offers with Insights Hub.

Proven reputation and reliability

Insights Hub is a reliable and established solution that is here to stay. Gartner named Siemens as the sole Visionary vendor in its 2021 Magic Quadrant™ for industrial IoT platforms, while Forrester Wave™ named Insights Hub as a Leader in industrial IoT software platforms in its Q3 2021 report.

With Insights Hub, you can also leverage a diverse global partner ecosystem and Siemens’ domain expertise across industries to transform your IoT data into actionable insights.

Adopt quicker and scale faster

Insights Hub is an IIoT solution that you can build on. Start by collecting, visualizing, and analyzing data in real-time in one centralized location. Then expand those insights with domain-specific out-of-the-box solutions that help you explore more data and discover more insights. Most importantly, these solutions address your specific industry challenges and use cases to support the transformation of your business.

For example, incorporate AI and machine learning; launch remote condition monitoring and remote services; implement energy management initiatives; even optimize products and production efficiency with the digital twin. Need something even more customized? APIs and integrated app lifecycle workflows enable you to be flexible and cost-efficient while creating your own apps. Build it for your own organization or publish it in the Insights Hub marketplace for others to use as another revenue stream.
