December 4, 2025 –  The IoT Community® (Internet of Things Community), the world’s largest community of CXOs, IoT professionals, and practitioners, today announced that KMS Technology has joined its elite ecosystem as a Platinum-level corporate member. As part of this collaboration, Guy Merritt, CTO, KMS Technology, has been reappointed to the IoT Community Advisory Board.

“We’re delighted to welcome KMS Technology into the IoT Community as a Platinum member,” said David Hill, Executive Director, IoT Community. “KMS brings deep expertise in software engineering, product development, and data-driven innovation, which are critical foundations for successful IoT and AI-enabled solutions. We’re also pleased to evolve our relationship with Guy Merritt who retains his role on our Advisory Board, where his insights and experience will help us shape the next wave of IoT best practices for our global membership.”

KMS Technology is a global software development, consulting, and product engineering company specializing in cloud, data, AI, and IoT-enabled solutions.

“We are pleased to welcome KMS Technology to the IoT Community as a Platinum-level partner,” said Dr. Tom Bradicich, IoT Community Advisory Board Chair. “KMS has a strong track record helping organizations architect, build, and scale modern digital platforms. Their practical experience across IoT, data, and AI will provide our members with valuable, implementation-focused insights that can accelerate time-to-value and reduce risk in real-world projects.”

KMS Technology’s corporate membership further strengthens the IoT Community ecosystem, which brings together many of the world’s leading technology brands and household names across the IoT industry. Over the past 10 years, the IoT Community has collaborated with industry leaders to create trusted thought leadership and practitioner-focused content, now serving more than 50,000 IoT professionals globally.

I am honored to continue serving on the IoT Community Advisory Board on behalf of KMS Technology,” said Guy Merritt, CTO, KMS Technology. “Our Platinum membership gives us a powerful platform to share what we’ve learned helping customers deliver IoT and AI-driven solutions at scale – and to learn from other leaders across the ecosystem. Together, we aim to raise the bar for quality, reliability, and innovation in IoT, address real-world deployment challenges, and foster a collaborative environment that advances the entire IoT landscape.”

KMS Technology will participate in the IoT Grand Slam 2025 event, taking place December 10th. As part of the program, Guy Merritt, CTO, KMS Technology, will deliver a headline keynote address: Agentic AI-Powered Industrial IoT: Modernizing Legacy Systems for Autonomous, Resilient Factories. 

Industrial IoT (IIoT) platforms—built on legacy protocols, siloed data, and reactive analytics—are struggling to deliver the real-time autonomy manufacturing demands in 2025 and beyond. Agentic AI changes everything: autonomous agents that perceive, reason, plan, act, and learn can transform rigid IIoT architectures into self-optimizing systems that predict failures, dynamically  reconfigure production, and reduce factory downtimes. Drawing from KMS Technology’s experience modernizing enterprise workflows and building agentic AI systems, Guy Merritt, CTO of KMS, will reveal a practical roadmap for evolving legacy IIoT (SCADA, PLCs, historians) into agentic architectures, using Agentic AI design patterns, edge-based reasoning, and multi-agent orchestration. Attendees will leave with a modernization framework, real-world case studies from manufacturing, and actionable strategies to modernize your IIoT systems while maintaining safety, governance, and OT/IT convergence in an agentic era.

The IoT Community – Internet of Things Community announces the launch of GenAIoT, a new industry solution category that fuses Generative AI and AIoT to operationalize Industrial and Enterprise IoT

SAS, ClearBlade, SoftServe and Intellias, named as founding members of GenAIoT

GenAIoT allows for faster problem-solving than ever before

March 21, London UK, The IoT Community – the world’s first-to-market, one of the largest, and longest-standing independent IoT Communities; comprising 49,000+ IoT practitioner members, announces the launch of GenAIoT – a new industry solution category that intersects Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI), with the Artificial Internet of Things (AIoT) to operationalize Industrial and Enterprise Internet of Things (IoT). The home for GenAIoT will reside at https://genaiot.net  

IoT Community Launches GenAIoT At the IoT Day Slam 2024 Conference.
Working with key stakeholders who are operating at the intersection of Generative Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things, the goal is realizing the full potential of this new and emerging, yet highly transformative technology. 

The new website, GenAIoT.net, aims to provide a platform for collaboration, communication, and resource sharing among stakeholders in this space. This will be accomplished via the definition of – and then promotion and development of best practices, standards, and guidelines for GenAIoT. 

The Market opportunity

The IoT Community recently attended the MWC 2024 event in Barcelona, where executives met with existing members and other senior officials to identify opportunities in this new domain. They estimated that the market could be worth as much as 4.5 trillion US dollars in economic and business value.

It is predicted that GenAI has the potential to unlock up to 1.3-1.5 trillion US dollars in economic and business value. 

IoT, which includes traditional IoT (1.4 trillion US dollars) and AIoT (600 billion US dollars), is seen as a 2 trillion dollar opportunity.

When combined via this new industry solution category (GenAIoT), and vertically applied across industry sectors such as manufacturing, supply chain, customer service, and new emerging subsets, it could unlock another 1.2 trillion US dollars in economic value.

GenAIoT Purpose and Objectives
The main objective is to promote the development and implementation of practical solutions that utilize GenAIoT technologies to address real-world issues. This involves raising awareness and educating both industry professionals and the general public about the advantages and risks associated with GenAIoT, as well as advocating for policies that support the growth and advancement of this field.

The IoT Community believes that the integration of GenAI and AIoT can facilitate the collection of vast amounts of data through IoT devices. This data is then analyzed and interpreted using Gen AI and AIoT, providing valuable insights that can be quickly communicated to other machines or users, enabling faster and more efficient problem-solving. This innovative approach has the potential to revolutionize the problem-solving process by providing insights in a timelier manner than ever before.

“IoT Community together with our founding members; SAS, SoftServe, Intellias, and ClearBlade, are thrilled to announce the launch of GenAIoT,” said David Hill, Executive Director of IoT Community and a co-founder of GenAIoT. “Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been changing our daily lives and it has opened up a world of new opportunities. By collaborating with existing IoT Community ecosystem partners, as well as new – soon to be announced – founding members of GenAIoT, we are aiming to create real-world solutions that fully realize the potential of AI for everyone, at scale.”

“Having been at the heart of the IoT and Edge space for the past nine years, the IoT Community continues as a leading authority and resource for advancement of the IoT solutions and technologies. With AI being a new catalyst for innovation, its convergence with the IoT untaps dramatic business and societal benefits”, said Dr. Tom Bradicich, Chair, IoT Community Board of Advisors, ”The IoT Community is best suited to step up to this potent convergence by launching a new initiative, called GenAIoT. This new dimension of our community is designed to enable and serve the practitioners and end users of generative AI, AI analytics, AI controls, within the IoT.”

GenAIoT will initially focus on foundation models and topics including (not limited to):

  • Natural language processing
  • Edge Computing
  • Computer vision
  • LLM training
  • Speech recognition
  • Training and inferencing
  • Synthesizing data  
  • GenAIoT Security
  • Data interoperability

GenAIoT is a cutting-edge technology that facilitates practical applications in various industries. For example; it allows factory operators to gain real-time insights by overlaying synthesized data on a digital twin of a facility, which results in faster production, predicting and avoiding downtime, and increasing Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). The primary objective of GenAIoT is to merge large language models with enterprise data to offer contextualized intelligence that helps users enhance their creativity, productivity, and skills in real-time, helping to solve mission critical problems.

“There’s a massive chasm in IoT between scalable, flexible IoT software and the operators that need to easily access, monitor, and control assets to improve safety, sustainability, and efficiency. Gen AI will close that gap, enabling operators to control assets using everyday language,” said ClearBlade Founder and CEO Eric Simone. “Our industry-leading Intelligent Assets, a no-code digital twin software designed for operators, is already evolving with the use of Gen AI. We’re thrilled to be a GenAIoT member and enable non-technical professionals to seamlessly harness the power of IoT!” 

 “To work, GenAI needs data and many times that is IoT centric data.” Said Guy Merritt, VP of Solutions and Consulting, SoftServe. “This is a natural evolution between AI and IoT to enable the next revolution that is impacting a multitude of industrial sectors. We are proud to be founding members of GenAIoT.”
