The products include new Intel Quark processors for IoT, free operating systems with a comprehensive cloud suite from Wind River, and analytics capabilities. “Intel is making it easier for our customers to scale from things to cloud with new Intel Quark processors for IoT and Wind River’s free cloud-connected OS for microcontrollers”.

To help promote and move toward that vision, Intel at the event announced a collection of new chips designed for Internet of Things devices. The Intel Quark SE SoC for IoT offers an integrated sensor hub as well as pattern matching technology to deliver real-time insights from complex sensor data at the very edge of IoT.
Intel claims that developers can begin building apps for their IoT devices in just 10 minutes.
Intel Chief Executive Brian Krzanich, who spoke at an event in San Francisco announcing the new products, reiterated his determination to get in early on the IoT trend, the Journal said. This helps make data “actionable” and integrated in an end-to-end IoT solution. “Intel’s new processors, software for developers, data analytics and security features are important”. TAP integrates with the Intel IoT Platform reference architecture for activities including data management, workload distribution and computing.
Connectivity must be standard and tools open source, but applications infinite, added Doug Fisher, VP of Intel’s software and services unit.
Amazon has launched the beta version of AWS IoT, a platform for processing data from the Internet of Things appliances that is expected to become the dominant system for the IoT.
In addition to Levi’s, Honeywell and Yanzi use Intel IoT Platform in everything from industrial wearables to retail to smart buildings. “We are pleased to collaborate with global technology companies such as Arrow to create an engaging and collaborative platform for technology creators and innovators to gain better understanding of the ecosystem and develop their respective game plans to seize IoT business opportunities”, said Basil Wai, CEO of HKEIA. IoT needs to have that one product lineup take off, can Intel’s new Quark chips for IoT be that product?

Krzanich wouldn’t say how much Levi might have saved, but he pointed to research saying that a 3% improvement in inventory accuracy usually translate into a 1% increase in sales, partly because stores are less likely to run out of stock.
