The INTERNET OF THINGS depends on the INTELLIGENCE OF THINGS

Advances in connectivity and cloud computing are helping us realize greater value from the massive amounts of data collected in our world of ubiquitous sensing. However, we’re quickly learning that the future of IoT will require a more holistic, system-level approach to extracting insights from data. Collecting raw, low quality data at the edge and relying solely on the cloud for analytics is far from optimal – the implications on accuracy, reliability, speed, and security can be extremely costly.

At Analog Devices, we’re bringing intelligence to the edge by optimizing data quality and analytics within the things to ensure only the most relevant, accurate, and secure information is sent to the cloud. We do this by taking a system-level approach, leveraging hardware and software throughout the system to ensure the right level of insight is developed at the optimal point. From human biometrics to machine vibration profiles, our technologies are seeing, hearing, and feeling things that couldn’t be measured before, and our customers are realizing new possibilities, more reliable outcomes, and lower costs of development and ownership.

What is IoT?

At Analog Devices, we're bringing intelligence to the edge in IoT by optimizing data quality and analytics within the "things" to ensure only the most relevant, accurate, and secure information is sent to the cloud.

Technologies

You wouldn’t build a house on a weak foundation, why build your IoT solution that way? Our technologies sense, measure, interpret, and connect in ways that add integrity and intelligence at the edge, improving the overall reliability, impact, and efficiency of the IoT solution.

Technology Areas
