Open source pervades IoT with 60 per cent of companies factoring open source into their IoT deployment plans as per the IoT Commercial Adoption survey by the Eclipse Foundation. It also said that just under 40 per cent are deploying IoT solutions today and another 22 per cent plan to start deploying IoT within the next two years.

From seventh October to second December 2019, 366 individuals from a broad set of industries and organizations participated in the online survey. Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation said, “The Internet of Things is clearly one of the major technology trends today and a ubiquitous buzzword. This survey, which we hope will be the first of an annual tradition, seeks to provide real insights into what organizations are doing with the IoT right now and their plans for production deployments.”

We are seeing growing interest in our Bosch IoT Suite offering that is built upon Eclipse IoT open source. Our customers benefit from the open and transparent development that accelerates their ability to deliver real business outcomes.”
