December 4, 2025 – The IoT Community® (Internet of Things Community), the world’s largest community of CXOs, IoT professionals, and practitioners, today announced that KMS Technology has joined its elite ecosystem as a Platinum-level corporate member. As part of this collaboration, Guy Merritt, CTO, KMS Technology, has been reappointed to the IoT Community Advisory Board.

“We’re delighted to welcome KMS Technology into the IoT Community as a Platinum member,” said David Hill, Executive Director, IoT Community. “KMS brings deep expertise in software engineering, product development, and data-driven innovation, which are critical foundations for successful IoT and AI-enabled solutions. We’re also pleased to evolve our relationship with Guy Merritt who retains his role on our Advisory Board, where his insights and experience will help us shape the next wave of IoT best practices for our global membership.”

KMS Technology is a global software development, consulting, and product engineering company specializing in cloud, data, AI, and IoT-enabled solutions.

“We are pleased to welcome KMS Technology to the IoT Community as a Platinum-level partner,” said Dr. Tom Bradicich, IoT Community Advisory Board Chair. “KMS has a strong track record helping organizations architect, build, and scale modern digital platforms. Their practical experience across IoT, data, and AI will provide our members with valuable, implementation-focused insights that can accelerate time-to-value and reduce risk in real-world projects.”

KMS Technology’s corporate membership further strengthens the IoT Community ecosystem, which brings together many of the world’s leading technology brands and household names across the IoT industry. Over the past 10 years, the IoT Community has collaborated with industry leaders to create trusted thought leadership and practitioner-focused content, now serving more than 50,000 IoT professionals globally.

“I am honored to continue serving on the IoT Community Advisory Board on behalf of KMS Technology,” said Guy Merritt, CTO, KMS Technology. “Our Platinum membership gives us a powerful platform to share what we’ve learned helping customers deliver IoT and AI-driven solutions at scale – and to learn from other leaders across the ecosystem. Together, we aim to raise the bar for quality, reliability, and innovation in IoT, address real-world deployment challenges, and foster a collaborative environment that advances the entire IoT landscape.”

KMS Technology will participate in the IoT Grand Slam 2025 event, taking place December 10th. As part of the program, Guy Merritt, CTO, KMS Technology, will deliver a headline keynote address: Agentic AI-Powered Industrial IoT: Modernizing Legacy Systems for Autonomous, Resilient Factories.

Industrial IoT (IIoT) platforms—built on legacy protocols, siloed data, and reactive analytics—are struggling to deliver the real-time autonomy manufacturing demands in 2025 and beyond. Agentic AI changes everything: autonomous agents that perceive, reason, plan, act, and learn can transform rigid IIoT architectures into self-optimizing systems that predict failures, dynamically reconfigure production, and reduce factory downtimes. Drawing from KMS Technology’s experience modernizing enterprise workflows and building agentic AI systems, Guy Merritt, CTO of KMS, will reveal a practical roadmap for evolving legacy IIoT (SCADA, PLCs, historians) into agentic architectures, using Agentic AI design patterns, edge-based reasoning, and multi-agent orchestration. Attendees will leave with a modernization framework, real-world case studies from manufacturing, and actionable strategies to modernize your IIoT systems while maintaining safety, governance, and OT/IT convergence in an agentic era.
