IBM also announced its plans to offer APIs Watson and services over the IoT platform Watson Cloud to accelerate the development of solutions and cognitive IoT services to help customers and partners understand the increasing volume and variety of data in a physical world that is becoming digitized.

With these moves, customers, start-ups, universities and an ecosystem of partners IoT - silicon manufacturers and solution-oriented industry suppliers - will open direct access, based on cloud IoT platform IBM to test, develop and create the next generation cognitive IoT applications, services and solutions.

IBM also announced that it has opened eight new IBM Watson IoT Experience Customer Centres across Asia, Europe and the Americas. Locations include Beijing, China; Boeblingen, Germany; São Paulo, Brazil; Seoul, Korea; Tokyo, Japan; and Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Texas in the United States.

The customer experience centers IoT provide customers and partners with access to technology, tools and talent to develop and create new products and services with the help of intelligence cognitive provided by IBM Watson IoT cloud Platform.

New API Watson IoT cloud services

new APIs and cloud services Watson Watson IoT Platform are established to accelerate the development of cognitive IoT solutions and services . four new IBM IoT API services include:

• The Natural Language Processing (NLP) API Family allow users to interact with systems and devices using simple language , human. Natural Language Processing solutions help understand the intent of human language by correlating with other data sources to provide context in specific situations. For example, a technician working on a machine may notice an unusual vibration. He can ask the system "What is the cause that vibration?" Using the data of NLP and other sensors, the system will automatically connect words to meaning and intent to determine the machine that it refers, and correlate recent interview to identify the most likely source of the vibration and recommend measures to reduce it.

• the Machine Learning Watson API Family would automate the processing of data and continuously monitor the new data and user interactions to classify data and results based on learned priorities. machine Learning can be applied to all data from devices and sensors to automatically understand the current conditions, this is normal, expected trends, the properties to be monitored, and suggested actions when a problem arises. for example, the platform can monitor incoming data equipment fleet to learn normal and abnormal conditions, including environmental and production processes, which are often specific to each piece of equipment. Machine Learning helps to understand these differences and configures the system to monitor the unique conditions of each asset.

• The Video and Image Analytics API Family allow monitoring of unstructured from the video stream data and image snapshots to identify scenes and patterns. This knowledge can be combined with data from the machine to get a better understanding of past events and emerging situations. For example, security cameras and video surveillance analysis can note the presence of a forklift infringing on a small area, creating a small alert in the system; three days later, an asset in this area begins to show decreased performance. Both incidents can be correlated to identify a collision between the truck and assets that could not have been easily video or data of the machine.

• The Text Analytics API Family is allow extraction of unstructured text data, including transcripts of customer call centers, the technician logs maintenance, blog comments, and tweets to find correlations and patterns in these vast amounts of data. For example, phrases reported by unstructured way - as "my brakes make a sound," "my car seems to slow down to stop," and "the pedal feels spongy" - can be linked and correlated to identify field problems potential in a particular brand and model of car.
