This is an end-to-end Cloud platform which connects sensors, devices, or smart machines to business applications or Big Data systems creating huge value for businesses, the company said in a press release.

Loop connects the devices or machines that businesses use, produce or sell with the business applications that can productively utilise the data from those devices. By plugging in already-running hardware, Loop allows businesses to analyze data through easily accessible custom applications as well as existing enterprise systems. Providing the connectivity that today’s businesses crave for success, Loop lets users relay critical hardware data to cloud based applications for further use. Then, Loop goes further by providing powerhouse one-click connectors. Featuring MYSQL, Cassandra, MongoDB, and enterprise connectors such as CRM and ERP Systems, Message Queuing, Drools Business Logic Integration, and more.

Connectivity: Loop runs over MQTT, a specially designed-for-IoT protocol and it is a hardware agnostic platform. It can be quickly deployed with just a few lines of code. Moreover Loop houses client libraries for a number of famous prototyping platforms like Arduino, mbed, RX62, Openpicus, Intel Galileo and Raspberry Pi.

Management: Through a single point interface of the dashboard, Loop provides complete provisioning, over the air updates (OTAP) and performance monitoring.

Integration: The aspect usually left out from IoT solutions is that the real business value is when you get insights out of humongous data. Keeping that in mind, Loop has proprietary connectors for various ERP, CRM, CEP and BPM systems. These connectors are one of its kind “zero-config” systems with hassle-free deployment. The connected devices are open to use multiple such connector applications to publish data to as many applications as required. This special feature allows companies to utilize their existing IT investments and get faster ROI.
