PTC

Needham, Mass.-based PTC's Internet of Things strategy revolves around its ThingWorx IoT Platform for application developers. ThingWorx supports rapid application devel­opment through the use of model-based development and mashup tools.

PTC also offers the Axeda Machine Cloud, which provides cloud-based services and software for managing connected products, as well as the Coldlight Neuron Predictive Analyt­ics Platform to automatically analyze data, detect patterns, and send information to any application or technology.

The company in June introduced the newest component of its IoT platform -- Vuforia Studio -- which is a set of augmented reality offerings designed for the enterprise, giving partners a visual aspect to IoT.
