The rapid evolution of wireless network and sensor technology has promoted the integration of IoT applications into people's daily activities and greatly improved people's quality of life. In recent years, IoT applications combined with AI technology have become AIoT, and the practical aspect of IoT has been expanded. AIoT is an inevitable trend. All industries are looking forward to the benefits brought by IoT. However, IoT is facing many technologies and challenges to be overcome. According to relevant literature and reports, the security and privacy issues of the IoT are currently the most valued, followed by network transmission and computing efficiency, device management and integration capabilities, and data storage. Enterprises and organizations lack IOT technology and related resources, and must introduce IoT platforms with edge computing in a timely manner. This article analyzes the basic capabilities that IOT platforms should have, and defines improvements in transmission efficiency, security management, expansion and integration, enhanced reliability and exception handling. Five capabilities, and put forward a set of IoT Platform Capability Measurement (IPCM) model, and then use the IOT platform evaluation process to select the most suitable IOT platform for import, to help enterprises and organizations improve the quality of IOT operation and implementation efficiency.
