Industrial IoT (IIoT) device management operates under a different set of constraints than typical enterprise IT. In an Operational Technology (OT) environment such as manufacturing, energy, transport, or utilities operational continuity including device lifespan is measured in decades. This need for stability takes precedence over the rapid update cadences typical in other environments. If your team is managing industrial edge devices the approaches, tooling, and standards that govern OT device management reflect a different set of constraints.

We are making a change to app.foundries.io that affects everyone who uses our platform. On July 15, 2026, we will migrate app.foundries.io authentication to a single sign-on (SSO) system managed by Qualcomm. From that date, all users will sign in using a Qualcomm account (Qualcomm ID) rather than their existing Foundries.io credentials. We wanted to explain why we are making this change, what it means for you in practice, and what you need to do before the migration date.
