Eric Simone, CEOClearBlade’s Novi Platform is a powerful IoT development and runtime engine, built from the ground up. Communicating over open standard protocols, the platform enables IoT solutions to leverage emerging technologies. Examples include supporting industrial IoT solutions such as connected job sites, smart factories, tracked tools, networked doors, automated buildings and efficient programmable lighting. By making Novi the core of their IoT solutions, ClearBlade’s clients are ultimately able to rapidly deploy fast products without worrying about security, scalability, or stability.
Novi addresses the spectrum of requirements for an enterprise class Industrial IoT platform with a complete solution. With Novi, clients can manage devices and users, access data, author micro-services, and message in real-time. These elements are complimented with triggers and timers that allow the IoT platform to react and alert to any event. By utilizing the platform, customers integrate their existing systems with new applications to implement security models based on existing enterprise standards, or evolve with robust emerging technology. The deployment architecture has been designed to scale horizontally, while also staying agnostic for the underlying cloud or virtualization vendor. “The versatile design of Novi allows it to be deployed on-premises or in the cloud, dramatically changing the economics for building IoT solutions, and also gives enterprises an extra ace in the hole when it comes to selecting their cloud vendor,” says Simone.
Along with the Novi IoT Platform, ClearBlade uniquely delivers the Novi EDGE—a full platform software solution that clients use to manage activities at the IoT gateway layer.
The ClearBlade Novi Platform addresses the important need to integrate with existing applications, which is the critical element that every other IoT platform has failed to achieve
These gateways reside in numerous places including, directly on a factory floor machine, in the field at a pump, or embedded in a vehicle. The EDGE processes data locally and ultimately guarantees uptime for large complex machinery. In addition to 100 percent uptime, the Novi EDGE lets clients filter and scrub data using JavaScript rules before transferring minimized data up to a cloud based Novi Platform, ultimately offering the user tremendous cloud cost savings. Lastly, the Novi EDGE solves the challenge of deploying and maintaining the gateway application logic by auto-syncing with the internet based Novi Platform. “The Novi EDGE cloud management unburdens customers who must innovate and enhance their IoT solutions by allowing developers to remotely orchestrate the behavior of thousands of EDGE systems,” explains Simone.
ClearBlade recognizes that no vendor can provide all elements of an IoT solution and has built an ecosystem of partners. Working in conjunction with Google Cloud allows ClearBlade to host its own SaaS IoT cloud, which enables clients to run their operations with ease. Stanley Black and Decker has leveraged the Novi platform to deliver a new generation of connected products and solutions. After an exhaustive evaluation Stanley selected ClearBlade because of its security, performance and edge capabilities.
Commenting on the future, Simone informs, “Our technical team has many surprises in development, stay tuned for some exciting announcements.”

Comments on the News
• "To streamline the development of IoT platforms, ClearBlade offers a comprehensive suite of developer tools, such as a web-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE), Command-Line Interface (CLI), and a devkit for local development. The company's API-first approach, with local development options and edge runtime support, empowers developers to create and test applications locally, thereby enhancing their productivity. ClearBlade's comprehensive rules processing engine enables analytics and action triggering based on predefined rules. The engine is supported by full code runtime and Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX) frameworks for edge AI executions. ClearBlade's platform ensures fault tolerance and data integrity through its robust synchronization capabilities, while its extensive support for various protocols and seamless integration with third-party applications enhance interoperability and expand analytical possibilities for IoT solutions. The company has received strong ratings across parameters of technology excellence and customer impact and has been positioned as a leader in the 2024 SPARK Matrix of the IoT Edge Analytics Platform market," said Quadrant Knowledge Solutions Analyst Vyshak K.
• "We're honored to be named the leader in IoT Edge Analytics Platforms alongside our partner SAS," said ClearBlade Founder & CEO Eric Simone. "Our customers rely on our flexible IoT Edge application to not only connect their assets but also to leverage machine data for real-time insights that improve safety, efficiency, and sustainability. A great example of this is our solar farm work at SAS; we're thrilled to share a leadership position with our innovative, valued partner."
• "With AI and IoT analytics offered by SAS and partners like ClearBlade, organizations in manufacturing, energy, transportation and government can optimize operations, enhance worker safety, improve maintenance strategies, reduce emissions, mitigate flooding and much more," said Jason Mann, Vice President of IoT at data and AI leader SAS. "The latest SPARK Matrix for IoT edge analytics platforms underscores the leadership of SAS and ClearBlade and the value we provide to our customers."
Quadrant Knowledge Solutions defines the IoT edge analytics platform as "a software platform designed to collect, process, and analyze data generated by Internet of Things (IoT) devices at the edge of a network—close to the source where data is generated—and derive insights from it. The platform enables real-time or near-real-time analysis and decision-making without the need to send data to a centralized location for processing. By performing analytics at the edge, these platforms can reduce latency, bandwidth usage, and dependency on cloud services, making them ideal for use cases where real-time responsiveness, data privacy, or intermittent connectivity are critical factors. Overall, an IoT edge analytics platform empowers organizations to derive the potential of their IoT deployments by offering actionable insights and intelligence directly at the edge of the network. The key capabilities of an IoT edge analytics platform include data streaming, data management, edge analytics, fault tolerance and reliability, developer tools, and integration and interoperability."
