Nordic Semiconductor and Kigen partner to accelerate Massive IoT deployments

Nordic Semiconductor and Kigen have announced a technical collaboration that will accelerate Massive IoT deployments. The partnership combines Kigen eSIMs, Kigen’s eSIM IoT Remote Manager (eIM) solution for SGP.32 IoT eSIMs and Nordic’s award-winning nRF9151 System-in-Package (SiP). The collaboration underscores both companies’ commitment to offer robust, secure, low-power cellular IoT solutions that remove the technical barriers to wireless connectivity and enable rapid scalability of the IoT.

Nordic and Kigen will showcase their innovations at CES 2025, offering visitors demonstrations and in-depth discussions with their engineering teams. CES will be held in Las Vegas, NV, from 7 to 10 January 2025. Nordic can be found on booth #52039 at the Venetian Expo.

“The joint testing between Kigen eIM solution and Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF9151 reflects our shared commitment to innovation in low-power, compact, and battery-efficient IoT devices,” said Vincent Korstanje, the CEO, Kigen. “At Kigen, this is part of our vision to ensure that standards bring benefits to the broadest set of players – making this transformative technology accessible, cost-effective, and scalable for businesses of all sizes.”

Oyvind Birkenes, the EVP business unit long-range at Nordic Semiconductor, said, “The collaboration with Kigen has produced an outcome that’s much more than just an important technical milestone. Rather, the simplicity brought by Kigen’s solution combined with the highly integrated, low power and cost-efficient nRF9151 SiP has the potential to transform the cellular IoT landscape by making it easier and faster for all sizes of companies to deploy Massive IoT applications.”

Digital Twin Consortium introduces Business Maturity Model for organisations

The Digital Twin Consortium (DTC) published the Business Maturity Model white paper to guide organisations in designing and implementing digital twins that improve business outcomes.

“Change in the digital age is happening at speed and with high frequency, creating disruptions that are difficult to identify,” said Dan Isaacs, the GM and CTO of the DTC. “When companies take an ad-hoc approach to designing and implementing digital twins, it can lead to architectural inconsistencies, making it difficult to share data across business units and to establish an end-to-end view of business processes.”

The Business Maturity Model can help organisations realise the value digital twins add to their business.

The five stages of maturity are, in summary:

  1. Passive: Active and passive resistance to digitalisation. Little or no digitisation is found in many legacy projects.
  2. Starter: Passive observers of digital twins where there is some virtual and digital modeling. Their existence and value are recognised, but adoption does not yet seriously feature on the agenda. The attitude towards change is that it is a necessary evil rather than a business opportunity.
  3. Progressive: Early-stage participants in digital twinning where there is use of operational data for insights with some integration and automation, but only in siloed proofs of concept starting to realise the value, usually in pockets of enlightenment where the attitude to change is also more positive and accepting.
  4. Mature: Active prototypes of Digital Twins that are comprehensive with simulation for future “What if scenarios.” The owners see the benefit and start sharing data between point solutions, often providing the technology platforms, and are actively encouraging collaboration on digital twin projects across the siloes of the organisation. This integration follows the Systems of Systems approach and spreads across all phases controlled by the owners internally.
  5. Master: Active adoption of digital twins and continuous evolution of the use cases in different parts of the organisation with autonomous decision-making and the ability to learn and act on behalf of users with no human interference.

“The elements of the Business Maturity Model describe the competencies that drive the organisation’s maturity stages,” said Dana Kawas, the co- founder and CEO of Thynkli and one of the authors of the white paper. “With the support of digital twin technology, performance in each competency can be improved.”

Tim Connolly, the CEO at APTUMX and one of the authors of the white paper, said, “We recommend collecting the assessment data from different organisational stakeholders at different levels and in various business units. The Business Maturity Model white paper provides guidance organisations can use to identify where to start and how to prioritise their actions when designing and deploying digital twin systems.”

You can download the Business Maturity Model white paper from the DTC website. Become a DTC member and join the global leaders in digital twin technology.
