Internet of Things
Recognising the opportunities of the IoT
Billions of machines, devices, components, sensors and actuators are already connected to the Internet today. The data and insights that can be derived from such connections offer tremendous opportunities for the most varied business models.
However, there is also a danger of becoming swallowed up by the limitless abundance of data generated by the IoT and Industry 4.0. To prevent this from happening, bbv’s experts work with you to identify the likely potential, develop the corresponding IoT strategy and implement this in collaboration with you – from the networking of IoT devices through to connection to the cloud.
Innovation workshops
From idea to business case. The innovation workshops provide a forum for us to develop business ideas with you relating to technological and methodological trend topics.
IoT innovation workshop
We convert ideas into reality
As a pioneer in the Swiss cloud and IoT market, bbv is the ideal partner when it comes to converting promising ideas into reality.
Our experts cover the full range in this respect: This includes connecting devices by means of device connectivity and system connectivity, machine-to-machine communication in a host of different environments, storing data in data lakes and evaluating telemetry data as well as predictive maintenance, edge computing and process automation.
Smart connections
The Internet of Things is a prime example of an interdisciplinary domain, where the proper mix of experience, process and mindset is much more than a sum of individual parts.
Using ingenious concepts, our experts take a collection of elements and combine them into a rounded whole. The recipe for success is the core expertise of our specialists who have the requisite knowledge of Microsoft Azure, Big Data, Edge Computing, IoT Security and Embedded Software Engineering to implement Internet-of-Things strategies professionally.

More digital services for greater customer loyalty: Komax Connect offers customers new insight online into the productivity of their Komax machines. Komax customers can use the IoT solution to access new digital services, thereby strengthening customer loyalty and paving the way for Industrie 4.0. bbv supported Komax in developing its cloud platform from integrating their machines to visualising the data.
Success Story
Cloud-based Industrie 4.0 IoT app for production monitoring
Networking machines intelligently for improved customer service: an intuitive app for iOS and Android shows Agathon customers everything at a glance. bbv helped the customer to develop the cloud-based solution with Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. The complex application was to be developed using agile methods and scrum based on a proof of concept.
Success StoryDecision-making aid for choosing the right IoT cloud platform
The aim of this 64-page booklet is to provide assistance for those responsible for IoT projects before starting a project or product development. The booklet focuses primarily on the topics that are often neglected when choosing the platform or in general when starting the IoT project. It offers numerous checklists in this regard.
