Qt Group and Qualcomm are collaborating to streamline development of graphical interfaces and software quality assurance for industrial IoT devices. The combination of Qt’s cross-platform development tools and Qualcomm’s could significantly accelerate IoT device time-to-market.

Porting Qt Group’s platform on Qualcomm Technologies’ software streamlines UI solution development and testing of Qualcomm-based IoT devices. It also increases the ease and speed with which hardware vendors can develop Systems on Modules (SoM) at scale.

In addition to these UI capabilities, OEMs accessing Qualcomm Technologies’ processors that support Qt can also access Qt Group’s software development and quality assurance tools.

“When you tune out the noise surrounding tech innovation today, what is it really at the end of the day that impacts end users the most? It’s the user experience – specifically the user interface,” said Roger Mazzella, Senior Product Manager at Qt Group. “At Qt Group, our team has been proud to collaborate with Qualcomm Technologies in the automotive industry over the years. Now, we get to expand the benefits of all that groundwork to the IoT market, to which Qualcomm Technologies is well suited. Their high-powered processors handle data-heavy communication while providing ultra-fast performance that developers and end users expect.”

“The benefit of Qt’s technologies is that they already have a history of implementation across 70 industries,” said Juhapekka Niemi, Senior Vice President, Product Management at Qt Group. “We will give hardware and software vendors for IoT the UI/UX development and QA tools they need right out of the box. Since these vendors don’t have to perform any integrations themselves, the ease of developing GUIs significantly cuts down the time it takes to launch their products.”
