IoT – Internet of Things

How can IoT help?

According to a study by Tata Consultancy Services, the following industries spent the most on IoT device development:

• travel and hospitality
• industrial manufacturing
• banking and financial services
• telecommunications

But what business benefits do businesses expect from IoT technology? According to a Forrester study:

• 49% – greater customer satisfaction
• 46% – supply chain optimisation
• 45% – supply chain transparency
• 45% – loss prevention
• 44% – cost-effectiveness

If you're still wondering about the breakthrough potential of IoT in your industry, Deloitte suggests that the real power of IoT lies in the discovery and analysis of real-time, context-dependent, simultaneously multi-sourced data.

How can we help?

Whether you know what you expect from IoT or not, we're ready to help. We present our ideas and concepts in a clear, understandable and creative way. We believe that by thinking together with our customers, combining our partners' industry knowledge and our own expertise, we can make the ideas we develop a success.

We create mobile, tablet, web or desktop systems with cloud-based or local databases that communicate with each other on short-range frequencies such as NFC, WiFi, Bluetooth, infrared; or long-range wavelengths such as the internet or radio frequency identification (RFID).

Examples of IoT

As interest in IoT grows, it is important for businesses to understand what it can mean for their business development.

• An example known to many and used every day by banks is mobile contactless payment, where the smartphone communicates via an NFC chip to make the payment transaction.
• Rolls Royce aircraft engines, for example, now include sensors that provide information on how the engine is functioning, allowing malfunctions to be detected before they become catastrophic.
• In the world of healthcare, IoT is being deployed in wearable devices to measure the vital signs of sick people and monitor dangerous anomalies.
• Storage equipment in assembly plants, for example, can automatically detect (either by the quantities used at the workplace or by weight) when it is necessary to order supplies.

Technology and planning

As an official Microsoft Partner, we primarily use Microsoft products and tools to develop your applications.
Our products are delivered with ASP.NET or C# code. We also combine the latest technical platforms for the back-end, including Microsoft SQL Server or Web Services. We also have many years of experience in JavaScript and AJAX solutions for the interactivity of applications and websites, and we work on MySQL and Oracle systems on demand.

While we place great emphasis on prior needs assessment, we know that it is almost impossible to answer all functionality questions in advance. That's why we keep in close contact with our partners throughout the project and involve them in the testing process, so that the end result is truly useful and tailored to the user's needs.
