Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE: ARW) is showcasing its end-to-end
Internet of Things (IoT) services and solutions at IBM InterConnect
2016 next week, including the Arrow-built DragonBoard™ 410c now
enabled by IBM’s Watson IoT Platform. Arrow engineers will lead a
hands-on workshop at the conference to demonstrate how easy it is
to implement a full IoT solution using the DragonBoard 410c and
IBM’s Watson IoT service.
“Arrow Electronics is uniquely positioned to help guide IoT
innovation forward,” said Chakib Loucif, vice president of
engineering at Arrow. “Innovators like KineticCare are creating
incredible IoT applications with Arrow’s DragonBoard—these IoT
innovations will transform and improve people’s lives.”
The Arrow-built DragonBoard 410c is a high-performance and
low-cost development board designed to support rapid software
development and prototyping. It is ideal for creating embedded
computing and IoT products, including next-generation robotics,
cameras, medical devices, vending machines, smart buildings,
digital signage and gaming consoles, among others. With the
addition of IBM’s Watson IoT Platform, DragonBoard 410c developers
can quickly create, deploy, and manage applications in the
cloud—without having to deal with any complicated, underlying
infrastructure.
The Arrow-built DragonBoard 410c is the first development board
based on the quad-core, 64-bit capable Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 410
processor. It features advanced processing power, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
connectivity and GPS—all packed into a board the size of a credit
card.
Arrow is participating in a DragonBoard-enabled IoT
demonstration on the InterConnect Expo floor with KineticCare,
grand-prize winners of the 2016 AT&T Developer Summit
Hackathon. KineticCare’s health-monitoring application collects and
reports the vital stats of a user, detecting a cardiac anomaly and
automatically calling pre-programmed emergency services or family
members that can quickly lend assistance. KineticCare built their
innovative application on the DragonBoard 410c with IBM’s Watson
IoT Platform.
“We developed our award-winning healthcare solution using
Arrow’s DragonBoard 410c, and we are expanding its Predictive
Analytics capabilities with assistance from IBM’s Watson
technology,” said Kevin Wolf, mobile/IoT engineer and founder at
KineticCare. “The KineticCare team is looking forward to
demonstrating our solution with Arrow and IBM next week at
InterConnect.”
IoT solutions that deliver a compelling return-on-investment for
end users highlight Arrow’s core offerings in global components,
enterprise computing and systems integration. Arrow’s broad IoT
offerings include services aimed specifically at helping makers and
startups get their products to market quickly and cost-effectively;
Arrow provides the design engineering support and supply chain
connections to help transition DragonBoard prototypes into
commercial products.
