| A straightforward solution to complex IoT challenges. Akenza is the IoT platform, allowing you to build smart solutions with value. It connects, controls, and manages IoT devices, all in one place. With simple and secure management of smart devices, connectivity, and data, the akenza IoT platform enables the rapid market introduction of innovative, digital technologies. Thanks to our self-service solution, you can start creating your IoT case right away, even without coding skills. Key benefits of the akenza IoT Platform: *) Unified Connectivity Experience: IoT-Infrastructure service that unifies your connectivity portfolio. Customers easily manage their IoT connectivity e.g. SIM, eUICC and their subscription plan and bind, register and deregister devices on the network. Storing device data and orchestrating event driven actions can all be configured in one place. The billing integration allows the operator to setup his own PAYG model. *) Cost Effective: Designed to decrease time to market with carrier management, payload parsing and rule engine so you can focus on the last mile of your IoT application. Enhanced debugging mechanism allows you to inspect data in realtime and access in-depth logs. *) Open & Flexible: The akenza IoT Platform allows you to realise innovative business models in the Internet of Things and cross-domain applications. Consistent and systematic access to devices makes connectivity through NB-IoT, 5G, LTE/4G, 3G/2G, LoRaWAN (LPWAN), SigFox and other connectivity truly simple. Our users can focus on IoT application development that adds value, rather than developing their own solution. *) Scalability & Security: As a leading provider in IoT, we are committed to deliver state of the art security protection with the highest regard to privacy. Integration to your own IT system (e.g.: Salesforce, SAP, Microsoft Azure) is possible due to open APIs, enabling seamless integration of other platforms and services as well as hosting in various cloud environments. | Training and consulting System architecture development Business case modelling and innovation Product management Requirements writing Project management | | The Proudsmart Cloud is a cloud platform that fully support Industrial Wireless Sensor Network and protocols like 3G/4G, WiFi, Zigbee, BLE, BACnet, Modbus, OPC and etc. Proudsmart Cloud platform provides intelligent IoT service for manufacturing enterprises based on cloud service, Container service and Big Data analysis. They have three lines of IoT products: ProudLink, ProudThink and ProudArk. ProudLink provides industrial standard hardware for Wireless Sensor Network to ensure a secure, reliable and stable wireless data transmission. ProudThink is an Industrial Internet cloud platform which offers both Private Clouds and dedicated clouds. ProudArk is a "Google Search" for Industrial Internet which features IoT case studies, solutions, vendors, patents and professionals. | | | SenseAgent delivers in a single sensor hardware product on a platform capability across multiple applications;
lighting control – sensing ambient light, pasive infrared movement detection, and energy metering for control of lighting,
environment – ambient temperature, humidity, sound, CO2, and TVOC for management of the environment and workplace,
real time location – Bluetooth tracking and location of assets and people for real time utilisation, efficiency, safety and security in the workplace. Levaux’s core competitive advantage stems from an architecture designed from the outset as an integrated complex system that is enterprise scalable, secure and robust without sacrificing speed. This military specification (or ‘MIL SPEC’) capability and platform comes from the founder’s steeped background in military systems and networked warfare based on a PhD in Complex Systems Engineering solving computational quantum mechanics problems using distributed communication techniques The Levaux capability is not the typical ‘software’ start up but a business that represents the intersection between Information Technology (IT) and Operation Technology (OT), where information through monitoring now effects outcomes through control. Importantly the powerful Levaux ‘communications backhaul’ delivers;
1. low latency and high bandwidth – round trip from server to gateway and sensor under 200ms across an IP network and wireless mesh network
2. asynchronous, bi-directional; communication based on a session managed RPC connection eschewing the Internet of Things or IoT preference for ‘lite’ message-based cloud connectivity protocols,
3. Quality of Service with; scalable efficient protocols that minimise bandwidth, with dynamic (addressable and updatable) Firmware, and edge compute capability allowing sensors and gateways to process data at the source, providing autonomy and removing cloud dependency, whilst improving speed, performance and reliability, affording scaling of a robust integrated complex system,
4. security based on authenticated connections with multiple layers of Encryption and binary encoded data,
5. Interoperability at the device, mesh, gateway and cloud level affording unlimited flexibility with; applications and assets all addressable via OpenAPI, built on cloud agnostic tools allowing full transportability and localisation to meet with disciplined security and protocols and demanding legal jurisdictions. |
