Choosing the right IoT platforms, protocols, and technologies is pivotal to the success of your IoT initiatives. The ramifications of a poor choice can be severe, leading to thousands of CHF in losses and wasted time and effort. Furthermore, the expansive IoT market often leads to confusion, with many believing that no existing device can meet their specific needs and starting to develop their own, often unnecessarily.

We often identify existing solutions unknown to you, thereby avoiding the need for costly and time-consuming custom development.
