Edgeworx set out to make edge computing as easy as building for the cloud—secure, open-source, and developer-friendly. With Forte Group’s engineering expertise, ioFog evolved into a scalable, cross-platform solution that reduced costs, accelerated IoT adoption, and empowered developers with flexible SDKs.
60% faster IoT application deployment
40% reduction in development costs through open-source SDKs and reusable tooling
3x developer productivity using familiar languages and frameworks
Cross-OS compatibility, expanding adoption beyond Linux
Adoption across 3 industries (healthcare, retail, technology)
Enterprises needed better ways to build and run IoT solutions at scale:
High costs with proprietary, vendor-locked IoT systems.
Developers constrained by unfamiliar languages and rigid stacks.
Limited ability to orchestrate and manage applications across devices.
Difficulty processing real-time data at the edge.
Lack of scalability across diverse industry use cases.
Forte Group collaborated with Edgeworx to accelerate ioFog into a developer-first IoT platform:
Cross-OS compatibility, expanding the platform beyond Linux.
Microservices architecture connecting devices and sensors with real-time data processing.
Advanced technology stack including mesh networking, fog computing, and machine learning at the edge.
ioAuthoring orchestration tool to deploy and manage edge software.
Comprehensive SDKs enabling developers to code in familiar languages.
Lower-cost adoption path, replacing expensive proprietary solutions with open-source flexibility.
Secure architecture, built with Linux API and best practices for enterprise resilience.
The partnership produced measurable business outcomes:
60% faster IoT application deployment, reducing barriers to adoption.
40% lower development costs through reusable SDKs and open-source tooling.
3x boost in developer productivity, allowing faster iteration and deployment.
Adoption across healthcare, retail, and technology industries, validating scalability.
Future-ready capabilities, with ML and fog computing enabling predictive analytics and real-time insights.
Lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for enterprises investing in IoT.
Forte Group accelerated Edgeworx’s vision, evolving ioFog into a secure, cross-platform edge solution that cut IoT costs by 40%, sped deployment by 60%, and scaled adoption across industries.
