The original question was something like could Siemens, Schneider and or Rockwell Automation be potential partners with Mti Mingothings, OneMindNG and TheThings.io on projects being that Siemens, Schneider and Rockwell Automation are pictured with the MTi Metering Box and TheThings.io platform.
As research shows Siemens is to big to want to work with anyone else and they only go after very big contracts mostly over $10 million.
What the MTi Mingothings Metering box may be basically showing is The MTi Metering Box with TheThings.io platform will work with multiple different systems. This leaves the ability of MTi Mingothings to go after $5 million dollar contracts and under. With Dell NativeEdge the contracts MTi Mingothings, OneMindNG and TheThings.io could go after $10 Million plus contracts as Dell being the lead contractor
The big companies only want to go after the large Smart Infrastructure contracts which are about 30% of the business. They don’t want to do the small $5 million Smart Infrastructure contracts but the small Smart Infrastructure contracts are about 70% of the business. This leaves a lot of potential Smart Infrastructure contracts for smaller companies like MTi Mingothings
