More and more hardware products are being connected as internet of things devices with multiple benefits for end users, product developers, operations and service. Core functionalities for future generations of devices will include the remote distribution of updates, central monitoring of device status, and the generation of forecasts basted on operations data.
In short: IoT becomes part of your core product.
No matter whether you are investigating technical feasibility in the prototyping stage, connecting thousands of devices in the production stage, or further developing and operating the IoT cloud of your core system over the course of many years: to extend your core product, trust a service provider who will expand your team and pass on know-how. An expert who designs a resilient architecture, and shares experience of the pitfalls of individual solutions with you. A partner who accelerates, makes your team smarter, and complements it.
We work for you. This also means: independent of product manufacturers or PaaS providers.
A lean system is created according to your requirements, for example based on Azure IoT as for Glen Dimplex. Components based on IaaS might be a good fit to ensure maximum flexibility. For example, we assess whether a technology such as Kubernetes adds value for your project - or whether an alternative such as DC/OS will propel you towards your goal faster. You will benefit from our wealth of experience with more than 250 person-years of consulting in IoT projects of all sizes.
From the IoT platform to edge devices on Google IoT
Moss walls improve air quality in cities. Sensor values are processed on the edge devices. The Microservice-based IoT platform connects the moss walls as devices based on Google IoT, for example for monitoring. It offers flexibility and expandability with stable technologies.
On Demand Mobility: Development of backend services and apps for fleet management, peer-to-peer sharing, taxi services etc.
Data analytics, reporting, real-time queries, processing of real-time streaming on an IoT platform. Development of the IoT platform for on-demand mobility since 2014. Technology adaptations included: Migration of the analytics stack from Hadoop to Spark and DC/OS for significantly improved operability.
Remote monitoring and software updates for heat pumps and industrial heating and cooling systems
The new IoT solution replaces various predecessor systems of the device manufacturer. The platform went into operation at Glen Dimplex after only four months. The IoT solution reduces costs, is easy to operate, and is so flexibly structured that data from different products can be stored and evaluated on a common platform.
Our systems can be expanded with new functions and scale with an increasing number of devices. We prioritise architecture decisions according to later operability and with a view to predictable operating costs. This is crucial for a sustainable IoT solution.
Either for individual components or the entire system, for device integration, in the back end, in the data analysis pipeline or in the front ends - you get the know-how of experienced colleagues. Your team will learn from our experts in the course of their collaboration. For us, it is essential for every decision that you will be able to develop and operate the system by yourself.
For the expansion of your core product you need a service provider who complements, accelerates and inspires your own team - not replaces them.
Our vision for cooperation: We talk about your project and jointly select a suitable architecture from IaaS, PaaS and open source components. The goal: to quickly bring you closer to your product vision.
You find out in a light-weight introduction whether we fit together. For example in an exploratory workshop or when building a technical prototype. If you already know what you need, we'll start with the MVP.
