Focus Universal Inc. has announced the availability of four commercial Internet of Things solutions developed using its Universal Smart IoT Platform, addressing what the company identifies as fundamental challenges in IoT adoption. The announcement comes as industry surveys reveal significant failure rates in IoT implementation, with Cisco reporting approximately 75% of IoT projects fail and Microsoft finding 30% fail at the early proof-of-concept stage. The company developed four specific IoT applications within one month using its platform: commercial aquaculture IoT for fish farm efficiency, tequila and wine production IoT for fermentation monitoring, reverse osmosis IoT for steel manufacturing, and hydroponic IoT for automated agricultural control.
Traditionally, developing a single IoT solution might require multiple years of research and development with multimillion-dollar investments, but Focus Universal claims its platform reduces these barriers substantially. Central to the company's approach is the Universal Smart IoT Platform, which provides a pre-built common foundation allowing different IoT devices to share roughly 90% of the same hardware and software. This contrasts with traditional IoT systems where engineers typically start from scratch for each new device. The platform is complemented by the Ubiquitor, a universal multi-sensor smart device designed to replace single-function traditional devices. According to the company, as additional sensors integrate with the Ubiquitor, the average cost per sensor becomes negligible, with effective system costs approaching the cost of sensors themselves.
The company will showcase these technologies at CES 2026, where it will demonstrate a complete IoT system integrating hundreds or thousands of industrial sensors across multiple locations. The demonstration will highlight features including simple sensor management, efficient hardware utilization, reliable backup solutions, and sensor-dependent applications that dynamically change user interfaces based on connected sensors. Beyond IoT solutions, Focus Universal is introducing AI-driven SEC financial reporting automation software. The company claims its technology can process what traditionally takes months of manual work in minutes, including retrieving financial statements, generating consolidated financials, populating SEC filings, and converting documents to SEC-compliant formats through a process called Edgarization.
While traditional Edgarization handles approximately ten pages per hour, Focus Universal states its software can process a hundred-page SEC financial report in seconds. The market context underscores the potential impact of these developments. Statista reports the number of IoT devices worldwide is expected to grow from 19.8 billion in 2025 to more than 40.6 billion by 2034, with the global IoT market projected to reach $2.65 trillion by 2030. Simultaneously, the Financial Reporting Software Market is projected to grow from $13.9 billion in 2022 to $36.6 billion by 2030. Focus Universal positions its technologies as addressing key barriers in both markets: high development costs and complexity in IoT, and labor-intensive processes in financial reporting.
The company emphasizes that its approach represents a shift from traditional bespoke IoT development. After more than 20 years of research and development and over $20 million invested, Focus Universal argues that spreading development costs across the global IoT device base makes advanced capabilities economically accessible. The company will host meetings at Booth 10371 in the North Hall Showcase of the Las Vegas Convention Center during CES 2026 to demonstrate these technologies.
