Since 2000, Arena has provided innovative companies with a product lifecycle management (PLM) solution that increases speed of prototyping, reduces scrap, and streamlines supply chain management. We invented cloud-based PLM that enables manufacturers to deliver quality products on time and on budget. Arena provides a collaborative environment for centralizing, controlling, and analyzing complex and constantly changing product information including bills of materials (BOMs), part specifications, and change orders while collapsing time to market. Our customers include GoPro, Fitbit, Sunpower, and Medtronic. Arena has nearly 1,000 customers with 80,000 users in 95 countries driving product development to innovate and change the world. Arena is the Cloud PLM Leader and trusted product development problem solver for the world's most innovative companies and also the provider of choice for 250 of the top Internet of Things (IoT) companies. Now we are reinventing the world of Quality Management with a cloud-based, all-in-one QMS, PLM and supply chain collaboration solution to meet increasingly stringent compliance demands, lower quality risks and maximize product development results, while tying it all out to the product record. Arena is ranked as a Top 10 PLM solution provider by Business-Software.com and we're also recognized as the most affordable. Arena delivers the promised benefits of a multi-tenant SaaS cloud-based PLM solution, namely scalability, cost savings, reduced security risks, ease of implementation, and a faster path to ROI. In addition, Arena is able to meet the needs of cash-strapped startups, yet robust enough footprint to satisfy the demands of a global enterprise.

A huge part of the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) applications can significantly benefit from context awareness, in particular location awareness. This information might pertain to the location of the user, to the location of devices/appliances or both of them and hence enable a lot of powerful applications, for example, in hospitals to track equipment, doctors, and patients or in industrial environments to track and trace persons and assets. However, IoT research rather focuses on architectures, which includes components for context awareness, but pays less attention to how and with which accuracy context is achieved. Many algorithms and approaches have been proposed for indoor RF-based localization; however, low cost and accurate indoor localization is still very challenging. Many research and commercial solutions claim very high accuracies, which can, however, only be achieved in a very specific setting under ideal conditions. Adbanticsys Research Department is working on the development of cost-effective indoor localization solutions in real-life environments such as warehouses or underground mining sites.

With the increasing and explosive growth of interconnected devices, Device Management is no longer a requirement exclusive to Telecom Equipment Manufacturers. Devices from the core of the network all the way down to Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), IoT sensors, and everything in between inclusive of Routers, Switches, and Gateways, etc. must be manageable. Though their deep relationships with important third parties, Enea is working to ensure that organizations creating network infrastructure equipment have pre-integrated support for solutions that save time, development cost, and accelerate time to market.
