IoT Applications
Exelonix already provides the technical basis for IoT applications for various partner companies. This includes the following:
- Low-power sensor modules for the cloud connection of sensors and actuators,
- IoT-enabled cloud service,
- Web platform for management of hardware, data, users and billing and
- App development for iOS & Android.
With these technologies, comprehensive IoT applications can be tailor-made for B2B customers. The following IoT applications have already been implemented applying this technology:
- Sensor network for monitoring humidity and temperature in buildings,
- Various smart home applications and
- Applications for energy management.
Exelonix skills for your IOT project
Hardware design
Exelonix develops its own and customer-specific hardware in the following areas:
- Microcontroller solutions,
- Communication applications mostly wireless, e.g. Bluetooth
- battery management systems,
- sensors,
- FPGA systems, and the like.
Exelonix has many years of experience in numerous IoT projects. The technical and commercial requirements can be met by an optimized system design. Already at an early stage the optimum trade-off between hardware and the embedded software is defined. With our expertise we are able to develope schematics which often achieve mass production maturity already in the first step and thus avoiding costly redesigns. We select components according to individual project requirements and consider criteria such as availability, costs, reliability, environmental conditions and design risk along with the hardware design.
In the layout, our goal is from the beginning on an EMC and thermally faultless design. We are used to incorporate the mechanical requirements into the design process and know the effects of the layout on PCB production and assembly from experience. With our assembly service providers, we have reliable and coordinated processes in place, that enable quick and cost-effectively prototypes and then fast transfer into serial products.
At customer request, we also work together with other service providers or customer production lines. Qualifying & Testing of hardware prototypes for serial products is everyday business for us. Our hardware is in some cases part of our IoT solution.
Cloud server programming
Our IoT Cloud software concept is based on the REST concept (Representational State Transfer). This concept is used for a wide range of applications of the Internet of Things. Today, a large number of our Smart Home & Healthcare solutions are based on exelonix software platform. With the IoT Cloud, we provide customers with comprehensive solutions as a platform-as-a-service (PaaS). The individual, software services enable the rapid provision of applications of the Internet of things. They offer all necessary functions to connect devices, users and companies. For this, our IoT Cloud provides reliable management of devices, machines and gateways, secure access management, encrypted data transmission, connection to third-party systems and services, as well as comprehensive data analysis.
App programming
For the IoT-App tailored to the needs of your customers, we generally start with a concept and a corresponding user interface design close together with our customers. The core of the app development is the programming. Our experienced team will support customers at every step, using the latest technologies like
- HTML5,
- CSS3,
- JavaScript,
- AngularJS
The result is an app for smartphone or tablet: flexible and powerful, fast and inexpensive, adaptable and of course updatable.
