Solutions

There are approximately 50 billion devices in the world, ranging from home appliances & business computers to complex utility equipment, industrial machines and transport systems.

M2M stands for Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Technology & allows businesses to talk to their machines over wired or wireless networks.  M2M can remotely monitor status, identify problems and issue automatic alerts if problems occur.  With M2M, downtime for vital equipment is minimized as real-time information is used to improve business critical operations.

Some examples of M2M applications are:

  • Vending machines that automatically monitor stock levels & issue re-stocking alerts
  • Building automation systems that maintain “green buildings” by minimizing energy use
  • Plant automation systems that control manufacturing processes in real-time by continuously collecting & feeding machine data into ERP / BI applications
  • Energy meters that automatically collect & remotely report meter readings
