Targeted added value for your connected product with individual IoT solutions - without vendor lock-in

The networking of products makes your business models future-proof and agile. Be it through faster insights for maintenance, a more precise understanding of product use or monetizable, digital value-added services. There are many products for IoT platforms. However, their use and selection is often difficult:

  • How do I deal with brownfield and retrofit, especially in an industrial environment?

  • How do I retain control over the data that is generated and still comply with current regulations?

  • How do the license model and cost scaling of an IoT product fit my business model?

  • Do I want to make myself / my business model dependent on a product or a hyperscaler?

For more than 10 years, we have been designing, developing and operating individual IoT solutions in the cloud with and for our customers. From proof-of-concept to hundreds of thousands of connected devices, from industrial plants and consumer devices to vehicle fleets, we have successfully enabled new business models.

The IoT platform is part of the connected product

We believe that the IoT platform is a core component of a connected product. Maintain the same control over the development of the platform as you do over the product itself. To this end, we rely on standards where possible and implement them individually, which makes them unique. Using agile process models with targeted know-how transfers and working in mixed teams, we also make your organization fully capable of acting. We place a special focus on these aspects of the IoT platform to ensure the future viability of your platform:

Security

Every networked product starts with a secure connection to the cloud. To this end, we design secure overall processes, e.g. for certificate management, taking into account current requirements (see Cyber Resilience Act and EU Data Act).

Customizability

We ensure that you have the same control over the development process of your IoT platform as you do over your product. Individual components based on open standards make you independent of specific products and therefore of license models and functional restrictions.

Scalability

IoT systems scale differently to typical user applications due to the volume and frequency of data they generate. We keep an eye on both the technical scalability and the costs of the platform at all times.

IoT-Solutions

For us, IoT means seamlessly connecting hardware and software - with a scalable platform, secure cloud connection and smart design. This creates digital products with real added value.
