IoT in Industry

IoT solutions will impacts all aspects of our life

Things are not things anymore, they are smart and connected creating an avalanche of data. As things become more and more connected, so do businesses and consumers and the need to derive intelligence from this data becomes a necessity.

Leveraging the opportunities that IoT solutions offer requires the implementation of a highly scalable and extensible modern data architecture able to process all types of data in real-time, store the data without limits and have the flexibility to layer today’s and tomorrow’s data manipulation, analytics and machine learning capabilities; but putting this in place can be a tricky business.

Enterprise experiences has shown that building modern data architectures from scratch is NOT an option!

Syncrasy’s Data Discovery Platform alleviates these issues and provides the foundation to connect and listen to million devices at the edge, stream and analyze in real-time, trigger events actions based on real time advance analytics and store massive amounts of IoT data for further and future analysis and optimization.
