We believe that the first step that would help companies bridge the gap in the digital divide is to create open, standard, all-software solutions that replace proprietary, closed hardware solutions. Software has the unique flexibility to share data to the cloud and act on intelligence that returns. This closed-loop of communication of the digital economy is the source of new, more efficient, business models for OEMs, companies, and machine builders. In sum, this is all achieved because replacing proprietary hardware with software eliminates the friction that prevents companies from achieving the digitalization required for IoT and Industry 4.0. https://www.intervalzero.com/
