Avalue Technology has said the global Internet of Things sector is shifting from early-stage trials to broad commercial deployment, as the number of connected devices rose 13% to 18.8bn units in 2024 and began generating far larger volumes of sensor data.
The Taiwan-listed industrial computing company argued that IoT is moving beyond basic connectivity and into a phase of data-driven, automated operations. Adoption is accelerating across manufacturing, transport, healthcare, retail, and public infrastructure, increasing demand for real-time computing, data integration, and more adaptable system architectures.
Avalue said artificial intelligence is becoming integral to extracting value from IoT networks, improving anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, and operational decision-making. In smart city applications such as energy management, video analytics, and public safety, the company is promoting its AIB-3588 ARM-based system for on-device processing, aimed at reducing reliance on cloud services.
Edge computing is also emerging as a central element of IoT development. By analysing data close to the point of collection, edge systems cut latency and bandwidth use, and lower security risks. Avalue pointed to its ACS10-TGU platform for industrial monitoring, environmental sensing, and real-time video analytics. The company also highlighted advances in sensor capabilities, with compact products such as the EZX-EHLP embedded motherboard designed for large-scale deployment of front-end devices.
Connectivity will be a further driver of expansion. With global 5G coverage forecast to reach 85% by 2030, Avalue expects low-latency networks to unlock new industrial and commercial uses. Its ACP-Q6490 ARM-based single-board computer is being marketed as a platform for next-generation connectivity. At the same time, the decentralisation of IoT systems is prompting rapid changes in cybersecurity, data privacy, and sustainability regulation, increasing the need for more energy-efficient and compliant computing solutions.
Avalue said its portfolio of IoT, AI, ARM-based, and Edge computing products is aimed at helping industries accelerate digital transformation and build more resilient, intelligent, and sustainable system architectures. The company, which focuses on smart healthcare, manufacturing, transport, retail, and wider IoT applications, said sustainability targets have been integrated into its corporate strategy as it seeks to position itself for long-term growth in industrial digitalisation.
