Powering a New Generation of Digital Possibilities.
Global Unique Digital Identities (GUDIs)
GUDIs are unique identifiers for digital entities, ensuring distinct identification globally. They prevent naming conflicts, facilitate data management, and enable efficient retrieval and tracking across systems.
Key aspects of GUDIs:
GUDI’s also have a wide application range:
Nearby Positioning Services
Nearby Positioning Services offer relative positioning for devices in close proximity, ideal for indoor positioning, asset tracking, and location-based marketing.
Nearby Positioning Services provide a more generalized approach to location and is suitable for applications where high precision is not critical, and approximate relative positions are sufficient.
Combining multiple technologies for increased accuracy and robustness, Nearby Positioning Services have a wide range of applications from enhancing user experiences in retail environments to improving safety and efficiency in mining & industrial settings. They can also be integrated with GPS for seamless outdoor-to-indoor navigation transitions.
Real-time Location-based Services
Real-time Location-based Services (RLBS) are technologies that use data from navigation and location tracking systems to provide services relevant to the geographic location of a user or asset. These services can be divided into two primary categories: indoor and outdoor RLBS, each with distinct technologies and applications.
Indoor Real-time Location-based Services
Indoor RLBS are designed to operate within enclosed spaces where GPS signals may be weak or unavailable. These services use various technologies to pinpoint locations:
Indoor RLBS are commonly used in malls, airports, hospitals, and museums for navigation, asset tracking, emergency response, and personalized advertising.
Outdoor Real-time Location-based Services
Outdoor RLBS primarily utilize GPS, which offers global coverage and is effective in open environments. These services can be enhanced with:
Applications of outdoor RLBS include vehicle tracking, navigation, logistics, and location-specific climate monitoring.
Spatial Awareness for Precise Localization
Spatial Awareness & Precise Localization involves more advanced technologies and sensor fusion algorithms to achieve accurate and absolute positioning of objects in three-dimensional space. This approach is employed in applications where centimeter-level precision and accuracy are essential, such as robotics, precision agriculture, and “Find-My” services.
Depending on the use case, devices may be equipped with a variety of technologies, including:
Situational, and Context Awareness
Situation and Context Awareness integrates location-based data, real-time situational information, and contextual factors generated by add-in sensors to provide relevant insights and personalized responses.
Situational awareness focuses on understanding the immediate situation, while context awareness involves a broader understanding of the environment, including factors that may impact or provide additional insights into the situation. Both concepts are vital for making well-informed decisions and providing tailored services in various domains, including technology, safety, and human interactions.
Applications include collision avoidance in mines, construction sites, hospitals, first responder safety, personalized advertising and hospitality services.
Nearby Device Experiences
Nearby Device Experiences provide interactions and functionalities that become possible when devices or applications can detect and communicate with nearby devices or objects.
Examples of nearby device experiences include:
Overall, nearby device experiences enhance convenience, efficiency, and interactivity in various aspects of daily life, making it easier for devices and users to seamlessly interact with their surroundings and with each other.
Edge-2-Cloud Security for Device & Data Integrity
Depending on solution requirements and budget constraints, Syncrasy provides a range of security deployment options including:

The gas sensors are also trainable to detect Volatile Organic Compounds, Volatile Sulfur Compounds and other use case specific gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen, opening the door to wider use case deployments including:
Syncrasy’s air quality monitoring technologies are tiny, noiseless, fanless, maintenance-free, cloud connected, and can be solar powered.
Event Driven Power Management
Event-driven Power Management extends IoT device battery life, crucial for remote or inaccessible locations.
By optimizing power consumption and activating device functions only when necessary, event-driven power management helps ensure that IoT devices operate efficiently and maximize their battery life.
Key event-driven power management options for IoT devices include:
By implementing event-driven power management strategies, solution deployments can strike a balance between responsiveness and power efficiency.
For example, an indoor air quality (IAQ) monitor showing high pollution levels might trigger data transfer and an alert only when specific pollution levels are reached.
Contactless & Handsfree Applications including MIFARE®
In the quest for seamless, efficient, and secure technology, Syncrasy Feature Sets not only support NFC based contactless access control, payments and MIFARE® transactions, they also look to the future with support for handsfree applications using Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technologies.
UWB is a cutting-edge wireless communication technology that operates across a wide frequency spectrum. Known for its high accuracy and low power consumption, UWB enables precise location tracking and data transmission, making it ideal for advanced contactless applications.
Applications include:
1. Access Control:
2. Public Transportation:
3. Retail and Payment Systems:
