Wireless sensor hardware and connectivity make IoT easy
Identified system integrators and services providers have been deemed as having the greatest opportunity of all company types to deploy, use and generate revenue from IoT/M2M applications, according to LPRS CS. They are the feet-on-the-street with first-hand knowledge of the end use requirements, applications and end users and can therefore leverage this technology to the benefit of all.
Whether they deploy wireless sensors to monitor critical assets that would have previously not been monitored at all or enable end users to gain higher efficiencies by utilising their workforce to attend to priority tasks rather than mundane and often-not-needed routine tasks, the opportunities to add value, differentiate and ultimately add to their bottom line through more sales and/or less cost, is infinite.
Of course there are challenges to overcome for any potential user of this technology.
- What wireless technology should I use and how can it help me?
- What type of expertise do I need in house to design and develop such a solution?
- What back office system should I use?
- How much will it all cost and how long will it take?
- What is my Return on Investment (ROI) likely to be?
Nick Pummel, Managing Director of LPRS CS said: “We are asked these questions over and over again and so decided to provide a flexible end-to-end solution which can be rolled out quickly and without having to find individual partners for sensors, secure cloud services and control and monitoring software. This is exactly the same process which led us nearly twenty years ago to create our easyRadio range of out-of-the-box wireless transceivers which still lead the market with easy to use wireless connectivity.”
With the bewildering array of products and services being offered from a stand-alone wireless sensor to cloud connected platforms the complexity of assembling a complete system can be daunting. LPRS Connected Solutions (LPRS CS) can now offer a complete package.
Pummel continued: “We believe that IoT should be easy and joined-up and our consultative approach allows customers to prove system concept, refine system elements and deploy without a long design cycle or large initial investment for design and development of hardware and back office systems.”
LPRS CS offers customers a white label (brand-able) one-stop-shop, providing wireless sensor hardware, connectivity and web-based back office, as one simple cost. Their cloud based solution is infinitely scalable and quick to deploy with no long periods between proof of concept and final roll out.
This gives systems integrators and service providers a great opportunity to move into using IoT technology without having to have the in house knowledge of electronics, wireless, cloud computing and more, ultimately meaning more profit for the customer.
The LPRS CS proprietary cloud platform provides secure web-browser access, infinite hierarchal login’s for flexible customer use, an easy-to-use reporting system, a user configurable alerting engine and is secure and scalable.
Typical applications include medical refrigeration monitoring, room temperature monitoring, museum and leisure temperature monitoring, facilities management (monitoring for Legionella and other potential hazards) and in home telehealth.
LPRS designs and manufactures the highly successful eRIC and easyRadio Advanced (eRA) interchangeable ISM / LPWAN wireless radio modules in the UK.
