Leverege is a privately held Internet-of-Things (IoT) software company based in Maryland. We build our products and solutions with humans in mind: making data accessible, actionable, and easily understood by more than just highly skilled engineers. We've developed IoT software products that enable you and your customers to intelligently manage and visualize large networks of diverse sensors and devices, providing actionable insights and spotting trends that lead to better decision making.

Yonyou offers a wide range of management software products for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Human Resources (HR), Business Intelligence (BI) and Office Automation (OA). It also develops vertical industry solutions for e-Government, finance and asset management.

Prodsmart is real time process Tracking for production lines and job shops. We turn any production line into a digital Smart Factory. Our Manufacturing Execution System (MES) turns smartphones and tablets into sensors to collect process data directly from the shop floor, eliminating paper and providing real time analytics that allow for waste reduction and efficiency improvements. Paperless manufacturing is a longtime sought opportunity. We provide it.

Many areas of our lives have already been changed by the Internet of Things, and industry is no exception. By blending the real and the virtual worlds of production via the internet, the IoT makes it possible to connect all parts of the production process: machines, products, systems, and people. This means that machines and products can communicate so they can manage themselves and each other. Software-based system and service platforms will play a major role in tomorrow’s manufacturing; they are the only way to bring connectivity, including data analysis, to machines and workpieces in production. Bosch's software solutions for connected manufacturing and logistics gather, visualize, analyze, and monitor machine, process, and sensor data. They then translate this data into useful information that serves as a source for their rule- and process-based actions. The transparency this creates allows clients to determine precisely where to optimize production and logistics processes along the entire value chain.

Leverege provides an intelligent Internet of Things (IoT) platform that enables businesses, developers, and innovators to quickly develop and deliver IoT solutions. Despite the rapid rise in demand for IoT devices and services, the market is faced with a myriad of challenges. The market lacks standardized protocols, is plagued with disparate and conflicting device platforms, has insufficient infrastructure to process huge amounts of data, and finally is missing a complete understanding of the entire IoT framework. Leverege alleviates these issues by offering a comprehensive, integrated IoT ecosystem that empowers businesses to transform sensor data into valuable insights. The Leverege platform is specifically designed to give IoT creators the same advantages in agility and time-to-market as modern day software developers. Leverege--headquartered in Germantown Maryland, just outside of Washington DC--was founded in 2014 by successful technology entrepreneurs with deep experience in sensor networks and big data architectures. The mission-critical products built by the Leverege team are used daily by Fortune 500 companies and governments around the world, spanning various industries such as defense, aerospace, advertising, sports, and entertainment.

Yonyou's key products - which include enterprise management/ERP software and solutions - have bolstered the group's position as the largest management software supplier in Asia-Pacific. Yonyou is being competitive in industial software development to catch up with the pace of Industry 4.0 or Internet of Things.

Industry 4.0 is the technological movement that represents the next phase of manufacture industries which results in a full Digitization of productive systems, connecting machines, people and processes. One of the main goals of Prodsmart is to catalyze Industry 4.0 through the mass adoption of the systems that allow all this movement to happen. We speak directly to the people within the organisation and we empower them. We provide them the ability to make quick decisions, short and autonomous software-implementation processes, with a quote and service level adjusted to their needs and level of usage. But Prodsmart’s relationship with people doesn’t stop here: we are a layer of virtual automation which transforms any production line into a smart digital factory, bringing the people, the processes and the machines together, converting the operators into knowledge workers and aiding the managers to take informed decisions. We feel that the concept of Industry 4.0 is deeply broken by leaving the people behind. It is too focused on machines and data and less focused on information, processes and people. However, the majority of the manufacturing landscape is comprised of very small businesses, which do not have access to the level of sophistication that’s being discussed. The role of the people is extremely important in manufacturing SMEs. We do believe that in a world that is becoming more and more digital the most important element in technology is the people and this is reflected in the way we approach and engage with our current and future users.
