Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
IOTICS creates digital twins of assets of any kind. This allows assets, to share and exchange data without having to 'know' each other beforehand. What the company delivers is something often regarded as impossible: IoT security coupled with open interoperability.
Its pioneering technology has caught the attention of large IT firms such as Gartner. It's targeting the use of its patented technology for high-value manufacturing and construction projects that necessitate security as well as data exchange.
As the IoT market continues its rapid growth, IOTICS' offering will only become more attractive and relevant to both investors and users. There are likely many use cases for this product that are not yet known.
