Why use an IoT Platform?
For a Systems Integrator (SI), using the Aer Networks IoT platform instead of developing a custom IoT solution offers several benefits:
- Faster Time to Market: Aer Networks IoT platforms come with pre-built functionalities, tools, and frameworks that allow SI’s to deploy solutions more quickly than if they were to develop everything from scratch. This speed can be a significant competitive advantage.
- Reduced Development Costs: Developing a custom IoT solution can be resource-intensive, requiring significant investment in time, talent, and technology. Using Aer Networks IoT platform lowers development costs by leveraging existing infrastructure and capabilities.
- Scalability: Aer Networks IoT platform is designed to scale, allowing SI’s to accommodate growing client needs without extensive rework. This scalability is crucial for adapting to changing requirements in industrial environments.
- Interoperability: Aer Networks support a wide range of devices with the open (source) Z-Mesh IoT protocol. This makes it easier for SI’s to integrate various components into a cohesive solution. This interoperability reduces the complexity of managing diverse systems.
- Security and Compliance: Aer Networks IoT platforms come with built-in security features and compliance tools that help protect data and ensure adherence to industry regulations. This reduces the burden on SI’s to implement and maintain security measures independently.
- Ongoing Support and Updates: Aer Networks provide regular updates and support, ensuring that the technology remains current and secure. This ongoing maintenance can relieve SI’s of the responsibility of managing software updates and patches.
- Focus on Value-Added Services: Using Aer Networks IoT platform, SI’s can focus on delivering value-added services, such as consulting, customization and integration, rather than spending time on low-level development tasks. This can enhance their service offerings and client relationships.
- Ecosystem and Partnerships: The Aer Networks IoT platform is developing an ecosystem that include third-party applications, tools, and services. SI’s can leverage these partnerships to enhance their solutions and provide clients with a broader range of options.
- Proven Reliability: Our IoT platform have been tested and validated in various environments, providing a level of reliability that custom solutions may not have. This can reduce the risk of implementation failures and enhance client confidence.
- Data Management: Aer Networks IoT platform often include robust and secure encryption key and data management allowing SI’s to focus on the solution rather than the plumbing.
Using the Aer Networks IoT platform allows Systems Integrators to deliver solutions more efficiently, reduce costs, leverage advanced features, and focus on providing value to their clients. This approach can enhance their competitiveness and ability to meet client needs in a rapidly evolving market.
