Boston, USA, Jan. 17, 2023: SmartSense by Digi, part of Digi International and a global provider of Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity solutions, today announced the launch of its new IoT Sensing-as-a-Service open platform strategy.
The strategy enables the company to configure its widely adopted IoT sensing and monitoring solutions for seamless interoperability with third-party sensing devices and enterprise management systems.
“The IoT Sensing-as-a-Service open platform is an evolution designed for operating within the new ecosystem of applications used by the modern cloud-based enterprise,” said Guy Yehiav, President of SmartSense by Digi in a press release. “Our customers increasingly desire of flexible, best-of-breed solutions that integrate with their existing tech stacks to simplify the complexities of specific use cases. Whether it’s leveraged for inventory accuracy, workforce management, loss prevention or asset monitoring, the transformative approach we’re undertaking will further position our company to align with this new ecosystem for years to come.”
There are three foundational pillars to the SmartSense open platform approach:
- Streamlined Data Extraction: Extracts IoT sensing and monitoring data (temperature readings, incident occurrences, tasks, checklists, corresponding actions, etc.) with API integrations for use in other enterprise applications.
- Maximized Hardware Investments: Ensures customers can maximise the ROI of their existing tech stack by removing silos and integrating various hardware and software architectures with SmartSense IoT sensing, monitoring and our prescriptive analytics solutions.
- Seamless Third-party Compatibility: SmartSense uses a certification process to integrate other sensing devices that provide the ability to rapidly serve unique customer needs for specific use cases that are not part of the SmartSense core offering.
