Build and own custom industrial IoT solutions with a pre-built middleware that slashes technical debt
A platform layer beneath that supercharges your application development teams by providing the bulk (83% plus) of core services production code as API driven middleware, allowing them to write only the balance (17% or less) Business Logic as Application Code thereby enabling smart product lines through uniquely specialized solutions like Asset Performance Management (APM), Field Ops, Asset Remote Monitoring (ARM), Smart Integrated Systems, AIOps, Subscription-based As-a-Service Models, and more.

The Challenges
Technological Challenges While Incorporating an IIoT Platform:
- High Costs and Specialized Skills
Building an Industrial IoT platform from scratch is expensive and requires highly specialized resources.
- Unreliable Transitions
Moving from pilot programs to global operations often lacks reliability.
- Lack of Strategic Flexibility
Quick onboarding through a low/no code IoT platform doesn't support long-term strategic goals or development flexibility.
