ARTIK, Samsung’s integrated Smart Internet of Things platform provides an easy way for companies to make smart devices and applications a reality. The platform uses a family of highly integrated System on Modules (SOMs) to incorporate processing, memory and wireless connectivity. The advanced ARTIK Cloud service collects, stores and acts upon data from any device or cloud service, giving businesses the opportunity to gain new insights into how their products are being used. These insights can then be utilised to generate new business opportunities.

All of this is secured with leading edge encryption, secure boot, hardened certificate storage and more, and is equipped with a suite of tools and services for a truly end-to-end platform.

Businesses are eager to add IoT capabilities to their products, but also understand the challenges of designing and building solutions on their own. By providing organisations with an integrated IoT platform, Samsung is helping companies focus on developing great ideas without having to worry as much about the underlying structure.

Another challenge with delivering complex IoT solutions is the time, costs and risks associated with such projects. The Samsung ARTIK platform makes it easier to build IoT products and alleviates these challenges by unifying hardware, software, cloud, security and partner ecosystems in a single offering.

Samsung continues to build a strong ecosystem of global distributors, service providers and technology solution partners who can help companies get their IoT solutions to market faster.

For example, Samsung ARTIK partnered with Naver to create a new voice-controlled smart home assistant called AMICA. Likewise, at this year’s Korea Electronics Show, FS Studio shared an amazing demonstration of a spaceship toy that can search for, recognise and respond to different objects. The gadget was built with a powerful neural net and runs on ARTIK.

Furthermore, partners such as resin.io, Arduino and Ubuntu, among others, bring powerful tools and capabilities to the ARTIK platform that help to solve real problems that IoT vendors face. Samsung has also partnered with Arrow and Mujin to distribute ARTIK, adding to its strong distribution partnership with Digi-Key to ensure the platform is available around the globe.
