Database FAQs

IoT ONE is a research and advisory firm focused on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Our mission is to enable our clients to realize the opportunities and manage the threats that are created by the IIoT.

We provide consulting services and an online knowledge center. Our consulting services help companies understand and act by providing research, innovation and implementation services. Our online knowledge center gives technology suppliers a platform to showcase their technologies and capabilities, and technology end users a convenient source of information to track the development of the IIoT ecosystem.

The IoT ONE Knowledge Database maps the Industrial IoT ecosystem. Our databases host thousands of profiles covering: suppliers, case studies, hardware, software, use cases, organizations, events, and our IIoT Spotlight podcast.

We use metadata to identify relationships between profiles, to assess market niches, and to track industry trends. The majority of our data is crowdsourced from IoT vendors and experts (register a free user account here) and edited by the IoT ONE team.

The IoT ONE Knowledge Database is used by technology and service suppliers and project end users from around the world. Suppliers use IoT ONE to showcase their technology and project experience (create a free profile), and discover the market landscape. End users rely on the database to prioritize projects and identify partners. Researchers and technology enthusiasts also tap into our databases to expand their understanding of the Industrial IoT.  

To start accessing our database, simply create a free account. All free user accounts get 10 credits per month to view 10 records of case studies, use cases, and suppliers. Hardware, software, podcasts, and other material are free to view. 

If you wish to view more than 10 records of case studies, use cases, and suppliers per month, you can purchase premium access credits in the "Premium Services" tab on the left sidebar. 

We also offer one-time datasheet downloads of our dataset in Excel format for more intensive analysis. Samples and prices are available on the "Premium Services" tab as well. We are happy to do customized datasets for your specific project needs.

Please reach out to team@iotone.com for more information for premium access and dataset downloads.

Listing your company on IoT ONE is simple, quick and free. Simply register an account with your business email and create a new supplier profile. You will be the administrator of the profile you have created. With administrator access, you can also add and update case studies at any time.

If your company already has a profile and you would like to be an administrator of that profile, please reach out to us at team@iotone.com.

The Industrial Internet of Things is globally relevant, and we seek to reflect that in our databases and services. IoT ONE knowledge database receives visitors from more than 80 countries every month. In 2016, approximately 35% of our users were based in North America, 25% in Europe, 10% in India, and 10% in China, with the remaining 20% spread among about 80 countries.

Our consulting services focus on clients in Germany and the DACH region, China, and Singapore. 

The Industrial IoT addresses virtually every industry to some extent and we reflect that breadth in our knowledge database. However, adoption levels vary considerably by industry. Naturally, our Knowledge Database focuses on the industries that are the most active in IIoT - machinery, building, automotive, energy. We only cover IoT in industrial applications, excluding consumer applications such as smart home appliances, smart watches and other consumer wearables.

Your personal data is absolutely safe with us! We employ the latest security techniques and processes to ensure that.
