IoT power supplies include traditional, thin-film and printed batteries, energy harvesting modules, flexible photovoltaic panels and thermoelectric sources.

Gateways & Routers

Devices & Equipment

Wearables

Software

Applications

Horizontal applications are standardized (e.g., asset tracking). Vertical applications are tailored to specific needs (e.g., delivery fleet management).

APIs

APIs are the market enabler for IoT. They allow users to manage devices, enable data transfer between software, and provide access capabilities.

Middleware

Middleware integrates the diverse components of an IoT application by structuring communication, workflows, and business rules.

Data Analytics

IoT analytics includes real-time or edge computing and batch analysis. Analytics can be behavioral, descriptive, predictive, or prescriptive.

Data Visualization

Visualization solutions use dashboards, alerts, events, maps, and other tools to present easily comprehensible data to end users.

Cloud & Fog Platforms

Data management solutions capture, index and store data in traditional database, cloud platforms, and fog systems for future use.

Security

Security software provides encryption, access control, and identity protection to IoT solutions from data collection through end-user applications.

Services

System Integration

System integrators link IoT component subsystems, customize solutions, and ensure that IoT systems communicate with existing operational systems.

IoT Data Management

IoT data management consultancies help to make sense of big data, decide which data to maintain and for how long, and troubleshoot IT issues.

Hardware Development

Software Development

IoT software consultancies support the development of data analytics, visualization solutions, and platforms, as well as integration into embedded systems.
