IoT Servers. Somewhere for your devices to send data that stores it, watches it and acts on it. Rules, alerts and dashboards, so a reading turns into somebody being told rather than a number nobody ever sees.
What we do here.
Devices generate readings. On their own that is just numbers accumulating somewhere, and plenty of IoT projects stop at exactly that point with a dashboard nobody opens.
The server is what makes the readings matter. It stores them, applies your rules and tells somebody when something needs attention, by email, by SMS, on a dashboard or straight into a system you already run.
It runs in your cloud, on our hosting or on site, depending on the data and how reliable the connection is. Sites with poor links often want it local. How much history to keep is a cost decision and you get the numbers to make it.
How we deliver it.
- Discover and scope. We review your processes, systems and goals, then agree the scope, budget and timeline with you.
- Build and ship. We build and test your system in planned stages, with progress reviews at each agreed milestone.
- Train and hand over. We deploy, document and train your staff, then provide ongoing support once the system is live.
- Get you running and keep you running. We handle the whole project, from planning and building your systems to getting them live. After launch we stay on to support, maintain and update everything, so your team never manages the technology.
- Work with your team. You know the problem but not the technical solution. We validate the idea, build the system and train the people who will run it. After launch, we step back or provide continued support where needed.
- Join your team. You have staff and a roadmap, but a skills gap is slowing down your progress. We place one of our experienced engineers within your team to close it, for an agreed fixed period or on an ongoing basis.
FAQs
What does the server actually do?
Takes what the devices send, stores it, applies your rules and tells somebody when it matters. Without it you have devices producing numbers nobody reads.
Can it alert people?
That is usually the main reason for building it. Email, SMS, a dashboard or straight into a system you already use, based on rules you set.
Where does it run?
Your cloud, our hosting or on site, depending on the data and how the connection behaves. Sites with unreliable links often want it local.
How much history can it keep?
As much as you will pay to store, and we will show you what that costs. Most businesses want detail recently and summaries further back.
