Internet of Things (IoT)
What We Offers
From “smart tractors” – John Deere tractors now help farmers optimise when, where and how they plough their fields for reduced costs and increased yields – to traffic lights that adjust their waiting times based on congestion levels; the disruptive nature of IoT could help companies steal a march on their competitors.
What is the IoT?
Although not new, the Internet of Things, or the Internet of Everything (IoE) as it’s more recently been called, has been gaining momentum over the last 5 years.
Put simply, the IoT is about connecting devices over the internet (or other frequencies such as Wi-Fi) and letting them “talk” to applications, each other and to us. It’s a similar concept to software and hardware integration.
It’s enabling individuals and even cities to become smarter and more efficient – and potentially it could do the same for your business.
How can IoT help my business?
With The International Data Corporation (IDC) estimating that, by 2020, devices connected to the Internet will generate nearly $9 trillion in annual sales, it’s clear that IoT presents businesses with huge potential. But the way in which connected devices are used by companies will vary massively depending on industry.
How we can help you
If you know what you need from IoT – and even if you don’t – we can help you. As well as knowing the ins and outs of technology and the best ways to use it to help power your business, we pride ourselves on our ability to converse in plain language, our creativity and the ideas we bring to the table even if you think you’ve already got the ideal solution.
We can create mobile, tablet, web or desktop-based software applications with either a cloud based or local database that “talk” via either short-range frequencies such as NFC, Wi-fi, Bluetooth or infrared, or long-range frequencies like the internet and radio-frequency identification (RFID).
Because you’ll have a lot of data from your IoT device, it’s important that the front-end is completely user-friendly. We’ll create a front-end that includes elements such as:
- a completely customisable user interface (UI) dashboard that makes it easy for you and other users to visualise and understand your data
- quick and simple reporting that can be emailed or printed
- the ability to securely store large amounts of data indefinitely
