Offerings combine IoTConnect software platform
with hardware from technology providers including NXP
Semiconductors
Avnet (NYSE: AVT), a leading global technology distributor, will
showcase a selection of innovative smart solutions based on its
secure IoTConnect platform at CES 2018, January 9-12 in
Las Vegas. Avnet’s IoTConnect platform was developed to provide
customers with a single go-to software platform to support the
complex communications, device and data management capabilities
required to leverage the power of the Internet of Things (IoT) to
make their businesses more productive, efficient and competitive in
the digital age.
Avnet invites show attendees to visit booth #2609, at Tech East,
Westgate, to get a firsthand look at how the company is
anticipating and responding to market demand for cutting-edge IoT
solutions. With support from a number of strategic technology
partners, Avnet is offering a diverse slate of smart IoT solutions
that integrate advanced software capability and state-of-the-art
silicon component technologies. These solutions offer targeted
functionality to support an array of industry verticals, including
manufacturing, healthcare, environmental, construction, retail,
food processing and smart city.
IoTConnect utilizes the enterprise-grade Microsoft
Azure hybrid cloud computing service to enable the seamless
distribution and analysis of data across cloud and on-premise
systems. Among the IoTConnect-enabled offerings to be demonstrated
at CES 2018 will be Avnet’s Smart Retail solution, which deploys
processing, connectivity and sensor technologies from NXP
Semiconductors to increase retailers’ operational and marketing
effectiveness.
For example, leveraging the edge-processing and cloud
application program interfaces (API) of NXP’s i.MX applications
processor, Smart Retail allows retailers to create targeted
advertising and promotional campaigns based on inventory levels and
customer demographics. In addition, NXP’s sensor and wireless
technologies deployed in products like Smart Shelf can help
retailers avoid stock-outs by monitoring inventory levels, and
maintain proper food handling standards via temperature and
humidity sensors.
“This year, for our CES debut, Avnet is teaming up with
prominent players in our IoT ecosystem, like NXP, to demonstrate
the exceptional value we can offer customers when we combine our
collective expertise in product, design and supply chain,” said Lou
Lutostanski, Avnet’s vice president, Internet of Things. “Avnet and
NXP have enjoyed a productive and collaborative relationship for
decades, and these new smart solutions illustrate our ongoing
mutual commitment to accelerating our customers’ pathway to success
within their respective markets.”
“To capture the tremendous benefits of IoT, organizations need
to overcome a variety of challenges, such as meeting performance,
reliability and security requirements, while keeping complexity in
check,” said NXP’s Sid Shaw, senior director global sales and
marketing. “By leveraging Avnet’s IoTConnect platform and NXP’s
secure and connected solutions for embedded applications, we give
innovators a head start in driving differentiated products and
services that will ultimately make all of our lives easier, better
and safer.”
The Avnet connected ecosystem, which includes Avnet.com,
Hackster.io, element14 and Hardware Studio, supports more than 2
million customers driving IoT innovation around the world. Avnet is
also a member of the IoT M2M Council (IMC), the largest and
fastest-growing trade group dedicated to the IoT sector.
Following CES, Avnet will launch a series of customer training
sessions to help break down the complexity of building IoT
solutions and scaling them for mass distribution. Visit
