Making its debut at HIMTEX 2026, Zoho Corporation aims to engage with manufacturing professionals, system integrators, and hardware partners exploring Industrial IoT initiatives while building long-term industry relationships.

Manufacturers today are focused on maximising the performance and lifespan of their existing production assets. According to Jegan Raghavan, Global Product Head, Zoho IoT, Zoho Corporation, its Industrial IoT platform can help them achieve this by providing actionable operational insights through real-time monitoring, proactive alerts and customizable dashboards. "In addition, our AI package enhances operations with capabilities such as predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, conversational insights, and intelligent analytics," he shares.

At HIMTEX 2026, the company is showcasing the Zoho IoT, a comprehensive Internet of Things (IoT) offering from Zoho Corporation, designed to help businesses of all sizes monitor, manage, and act on real-world data with speed and precision. Whether one is looking for ready-to-use IoT solutions or seeking a robust platform to build and deploy custom applications, Zoho IoT empowers them with the flexibility to do both.

At its core, Zoho IoT is a low-code, developer-friendly platform that supports multi-brand, multi-protocol, and multi-network device environments. It enables businesses to unify device data, configure workflows, build logic using formula builders, and create applications through intuitive drag-and-drop tools. Developers can also accelerate deployment using pre-built solution accelerators tailored to various verticals.

In addition to its platform capabilities, Zoho IoT offers pre-configured, single-purpose solutions such as temperature and humidity monitoring, gas detection, and water flow tracking, making it easier for businesses to automate manual processes and embrace sustainable practices.

Serving a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, energy, utilities, and smart infrastructure, Zoho IoT has been enabling organizations across the globe to fast-track their digital transformation since its soft launch in 2023.

A Platform for Real Manufacturing Conversations

Beyond showcasing technology, Raghavan sees HIMTEX as a venue for understanding the practical challenges manufacturers face on the shop floor.

By engaging directly with machine builders, manufacturers, system integrators, and technology partners, the company aims to demonstrate how Industrial IoT can solve real operational problems rather than remain a purely digital initiative.

Why the Deccan Manufacturing Belt Matters

Raghavan views Telangana and the broader Deccan region as strategically important markets, particularly because of their growing concentration of aerospace, defence, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and precision manufacturing industries.

As companies in these sectors continue investing in digital transformation, the demand for connected operations, production visibility, and data-driven decision-making is expected to grow significantly.

“We see significant opportunities to help manufacturers improve operational visibility, optimize production, and accelerate their Industry 4.0 initiatives,” he notes, concludingly.
