Overview

/IOTCONNECT™

Overview

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the growing network of physical devices embedded with sensors, software and connectivity, enabling them to collect and exchange data.

There are several reasons why businesses should use IoT.

IoT’s impact on businesses

Increased operational efficiency

Connect any device or system. Get real-time data or insights. Use it to optimize processes, reduce downtime and increase productivity. For example, use the IoT platform to monitor the performance of manufacturing equipment, allowing maintenance to be scheduled before a breakdown occurs.

Gain a competitive advantage

Businesses can gain a competitive advantage from IoT platforms by gaining valuable insights into their operations and customers. Retailers, for example, can use IoT to track customer behavior in-store, allowing them to optimize product placement and marketing strategies. Similarly, logistics firms can use IoT to track the location and status of their shipments, which can help them improve delivery times and customer satisfaction.

Improved customer experience

IoT platforms can help businesses improve the customer experience by offering personalized services. For example, a hotel can use IoT to monitor room temperature, lighting, and other amenities and adjust them based on the guest’s preferences. Similarly, automakers can use IoT to collect data on how their vehicles are being used, allowing them to improve the design and functionality of future models.

Safety and security

The ability of IoT platforms to improve safety and security is another significant impact on businesses. For instance, smart cities can use IoT to monitor public spaces and detect potential security threats, such as unattended bags or suspicious behavior. Similarly, businesses can use IoT to monitor their premises and ensure that employees and assets are safe.

Accelerated time-to-market

Boost business efficiency, better manage assets and adopt innovation faster through an IoT platform. IoT addresses all common industry needs and business challenges. The IoT platform provides a standardized way to harness IoT so your business can quickly build smart apps and solutions on the platform, follow best practices, have a data-driven decision-making process, and extend capabilities.

/IOTCONNECT™ capabilities

Easy connection

Securely connect and manage your devices using OPC UA, Modbus TCP, HTTP, CoAP, AMQP and ZigBee without coding. Once the device is up and running using /IOTCONNECT™, monitor the device status, collect historical data and receive notifications. In the case of replacing old devices with the connection of new ones, you don’t need special training and a lengthy integration process.

Device management

Get all the enterprise-grade device management features, from live data management, command management and device diagnostics to device allocation. /IOTCONNECT™ also allows you to manage devices in a mass, including batch import, OTA update schedule to a group of devices, apply a rule to a pack of devices.

Powerful analytics

Set condition monitoring analytics on individual attributes using smart rules. Users don’t need data-scientist skills to do device diagnostics or predictive analytics. Define conditions, set rules, or create commands to forward notifications or alarms as a device command, email, push notification, WebHook, or UI Alert. Employ REST API, different configurations, and various data connectors to import and export data to and from multiple systems to make data self-governed and present the results through graphs and charts.

Pain-free integration with enterprise apps

Integrating with enterprise apps, data lakes, cloud apps and third-party ecosystems is sometimes a headache. Considering that, /IOTCONNECT™ has built connectors to accelerate everyday integration tasks. /IOTCONNECT™ allows you to monetize your data by managing the entire API provisioning process through end-to-end API lifecycle management.

Ready framework for smart product development

Get comprehensive device SDK for Node.js, Java, Python, iOS, Android, C language and C#, along with the full developer user guides (code samples). You can also build your SDK to integrate devices. The foundation of /IOTCONNECT™ supports various protocols, including IT systems and industrial device monitoring protocols. It also supports powerful streaming analytics. /IOTCONNECT™ provides everything you need to accelerate your smart product development chain.

Industrial-grade security

We have considered IoT deployments’ privacy, security and data ownership at the highest level while creating /IOTCONNECT™. Our focus has never been limited to securing the platform only. It has always been about the entire ecosystem. We have secured API communication using HTTPS and an OAuth token to authenticate each request. And the communications between microservices and user interface are also guaranteed by HTTPS. To secure devices, /IOTCONNECT™ asks you to apply the authentication method.

Using /IOTCONNECT™
  • Maximize ROI
  • Take the complexity out of IoT
  • Avoid proof of concept purgatory
  • Get from idea to value faster
