FOXBORO, USA: Axeda Corp. announced the 6.6 release of its Axeda Machine Cloud. The release introduces powerful new features including a developer's workbench, a new UI framework, a new software development kit (SDK) for remote access, improved asset search, and enhanced analytics and reporting.

In addition, Axeda 6.6 includes support for microcontroller connectivity, providing easy access to extensive M2M/IoT application platform capabilities for embedded systems developers. Axeda Machine Cloud 6.6 brings new levels of developer productivity while introducing new capabilities that make it even easier to rapidly build and deploy powerful M2M/IoT solutions.

"In the world of the Internet of Things, empowering developers and ubiquitous device connectivity are both paramount towards pushing the boundaries of connected machine innovation." said Bill Zujewski, Axeda CMO and EVP of product strategy and marketing.

Axeda Workbench extends the Axeda SDK with two new tools, Axeda Artisan and Axeda Mentor. Axeda Artisan seamlessly integrates Axeda capabilities into popular Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) to boost developer productivity.

Axeda Mentor, currently in Beta testing, is the next generation of developer documentation. The tool provides excellent search and navigation features for an optimized developer experience, and includes "Getting Started" content, along with learn-by-example information, "How-to" tutorial topics and full API specifications.

The Axeda Ready Program provides development, testing and certification processes that ensure compatibility and ease of deployment with the Axeda Machine Cloud. In this latest release, Axeda adds support for ARM Cortex -M3 processors and ARM mbed, the rapid development platform for ARM-based microcontrollers.

The seamless Machine Cloud and mbed platform support enables an end-to-end solution, from intelligent processors to advanced application development.
