Industrial IoT and the disrupters
CEOWORLD, Alan Griffith, Business Transformation, June 4, 2021
As a market research, industry analyst and consulting firm, our independent research and analysis shows that – although much of the hype has subsided – the industrial IoT (IIoT) industry has consistently higher growth than the main industrial OT (Operational Technology) and IT companies. But disrupters, for example from the semiconductor, automotive and telco sectors, are emerging to threaten established IoT companies.

Democratizing Simulation: A Progress Report
Digital engineering 247, By Kenneth Wong, May 3, 2021
The numbers suggest the software vendors’ drive to democratize simulation—to push for wider adoption among designers and engineers with limited simulation expertise—is paying off, quite literally.

Data Lakes Are On The Rise
Forbes, Thomas Dhollander, April 22, 2021
Data lakes are becoming increasingly more important to industries that capture immense amounts of data, such as the process industry. Market research firm Cambashi, which tracks the global market for industrial software, has found that the IoT market is evolving to provide “connected applications” that deliver business value. Analytics — when applied to a business problem such as “how can we reduce downtime?

The Engineering Simulation Revolution Has Begun
Automation, September 13, 2020
Engineering simulation has grown into significant importance in the engineering design process over the past four decades with technology drivers enabling its broader and improved application. This growth in importance has been accompanied by a growth in awareness of the benefits and key business drivers, which then also brings a new set of opportunities and challenges related to increased demand.
Unity Technologies IPO: Gaming Platform Files to Trade on the NYSE
In industries other than gaming, Unity estimates a market opportunity of $17 billion. This number is based on the number of software developers, architects and designers Unity believes it could serve. The company notes that, according to data from Cambashi in April 2019, there a re 37 million engineers and technicians the company thinks could be future users of its platform. It also notes virtua I and augmented reality as future opportunities.
Analytics For Operating In The New Manufacturing Normal
Market research firm Cambashi expects that while most digitaI transformation projects (which may include “digita I transformation”) will be resilient, some companies may delay new transformation initiatives in the short term due to the demand shock caused by the pandemic.
