Microsoft and BMW have teamed up to develop an open manufacturing platform that they claim will speed up the adoption of industrial internet of things (IIoT) solutions.

The platform runs on Microsoft Azure’s IIoT cloud platform, which BMW already uses to streamline logistics in its German factories, and will be opened up to between four and six other manufacturers by the end of the year.
