The ClearBlade IoT Maturity Model

ClearBlade Maturity Model

ClearBlade’s IoT Maturity Model breaks down the IoT journey into five distinct stages:

  1. Connectivity & Capture
  2. Interpretation Information and Structures
  3. Data Content Knowledge
  4. Applied Information Diagnostic and Decision Making
  5. Automation Expert Systems

Connectivity & Capture

The journey begins with establishing robust connectivity and capturing high-quality data. Whether devices are already deployed in a field or yet to be configured, ClearBlade ensures smooth data streaming into the chosen cloud-based or on-premises platform.

Interpretation Information and Structures

Once data is captured, the next step is filtering out the noise and making sense of the information. Brent highlights the importance of working closely with domain experts to architect solutions that meet specific objectives, ultimately cleaning and preparing the data for advanced use.

Data Content Knowledge

With clean data in place, businesses can start correlating different data sets and implementing advanced visualizations. This stage marks the beginning of deriving actionable insights and setting up alerts to respond to specific events, paving the way for early predictive analytics.

Applied Information Diagnostic and Decision Making

In this phase, companies apply the gathered insights to make informed decisions. Modeling and validation become critical as businesses set up command and control operations, ensuring they can take preemptive actions based on real-time data. This stage leverages machine learning to enhance predictions and optimize performance.

Automation Expert Systems

The final stage is achieving true automation and self-learning capabilities. ClearBlade’s flexibility allows running AI models at the edge, close to the data source, enabling real-time optimizations and autonomous operations. This is the ultimate goal where IoT systems independently adapt and improve over time.
