Custommedia IoT Technology |
1. What is IoT-Middleware? |
The IoT-Middleware is a technology/platform which enables smart/intelligent Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications:
• It enables connectivity and interoperability between IT equipment, devices, sensors, applications and services
• Interoperability (as opposed to integration) means individual systems/applications within the set-up can remain independent (running as they are). Communications are established without the need to modify existing systems/applications
• The platform is also able to 'actuate'/execute relevant instructions or commands based on pre-set business rules and triggers
|
2. How is IoT-Middleware different from other solutions that enable me to implement similar things mentioned above? |
We believe that the IoT-Middleware technology is the first of its kind. It was developed as part of the CASAGRAS-2 project - an EU-backed initiative to define standards and develop novel solutions to enable implementation of Internet-of-Things (IoT). Custommedia was an international partner in CASAGRAS-2.
• The IoT-Middleware allows organisations/users to keep their existing systems/applications • It does not restrict users to any specific technologies/platform • The technology allows interoperability of various systems, applications and devices, thus: Avoids costly and painful integration exercises Allows faster and more efficient implementations Supports scalable implementations
|
3. What are the key features of IoT-Middleware? |
• It supports customisable or pre-defined templates for ‘object pathway’ implementation in various industries such as healthcare, logistics and transportation, retail, manufacturing, etc.
• It offers highly flexible and configurable system interfaces and objects/smart-objects connectors for use in any business system or environment
• It provides real-time execution and monitoring of event triggers and object flows
• It supports connectivity over any connection types including Local Area/Wide Area Network, Internet and cloud
|
4. What values does it bring to my organisation/business? |
• IoT-Middleware breathes a new life into your IT set-ups and allows for leverage on new and emerging technologies as they become available: Protect existing systems and other IT investments Extend the functionalities of your Line-of-Business (LOB) application Take advantage of new and emerging technologies
• These translate into: Streamline business processes Enhance operational efficiency Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over time Improve ROI
|
5. What do these mean to my organisation/business? |
With IoT-Middleware:
• Organisations/users are able to enhance their current automated business processes: Extend functionality of existing systems through interconnectivity with various objects - including those with and without own computerised processing capabilities Ability to have full and timely view of the state-of-affair of the operation, thus enabling informed decisions be made in fast and efficient manner Real-time alerts on events (based of pre-defined triggers) Where relevant, 'automatic' system-driven actions can be executed (based on pre-defined business rules)
• All these can be achieved without the need to replace or re-programme existing systems and applications
|
6. Which environment is the IoT-Middleware most suited? |
The IoT-Middleware is a generic platform and can be implemented in almost any environments. We have developed a few exemplar applications to demonstrates some of the features/capabilities of the IoT-Middleware:
• Asset Tracking (logistics) • Smart Office (generic) • Smart Home (generic) • Smart Conference (event management) • Patient Pathway (healthcare)
|
7. What are the related services needed for implementation of the IoT-Middleware? |
It depends on the scope of the implementation, customisable to individual clients.
To ensure successful enterprise-wide deployment, we offer the following: • Project Management • Business Process Improvement & Extension • Solutioning and customisation • Interoperability and integration testing • Production Planning • Training & Support
|
8. How much does IoT-Middleware cost? |
IoT-Middleware is a technology/platform. It is not a Commercially-of-the-shelf (COTS) product.
Pricing depends on the scope of the implementation and other services required by clients. Currently, we have two pricing models: • Project/implementation-based • Technology licensing
We are also looking at Cloud-based pricing model for implementation in the near future.
