Significant features added to Akenza’s new IoT platform

ZÜRICH, 30-Jun-2021 — /EPR INTERNET NEWS/ — Akenza, a leading Internet of Things (IoT) platform, is proud to announce the launch of its brand new platform. This is yet another step to realize their vision towards employing IoT across markets and industries. They are convinced that by significantly reducing the effort and complexity companies face when creating IoT solutions, they can lead the IoT evolution towards broader market applicability. The number of possible use cases to connect the world around us is endless, but it is a matter of awareness, cost, and complexity.

IoT is a vast network of devices and technologies that can communicate and exchange data via the Internet. Not only limited to computing devices such as smartphones and laptops, the term IoT refers to any technology with Internet connectivity to send or receive data. IoT technologies can range from wearable heart-rate monitors, automated thermostats, smart cars to sensors for manufacturing equipment.

The akenza platform enables businesses to introduce innovative and digital IoT solutions rapidly. Solutions built with akenza span any vertical, be it smart city, smart building, or industry. The highly volatile technological landscape necessitates solutions that enable an agile approach to development and innovations.

Therefore, akenza proudly supports digital accessibility, which is why it is premised upon the enhanced relationship between IoT devices and accessible digital experiences. Furthermore, their flexible, software-only platform enables IoT developers to develop smart solutions on a solid technological foundation.

Over the last few years, they have learned a lot about the IoT ecosystem, the much-desired enterprise features, its simplicity, and its self-service needs. So they listened and delivered!

The significant features of their brand new platform include –

Connectivity-as-a-Service
Managing a portfolio of devices across various connectivity platforms may require additional administrative effort and complexity. With their offering of Connectivity-as-a-service, IoT developers, CTOs, and R&D Heads no longer need to worry about separate network operator contracts. Instead, simply choosing the best connectivity, depending upon the region, can enable them to connect their devices to akenza. Furthermore, this IoT platform allows them to manage their connectivity portfolio with minimal effort by offering centralized connectivity management.

No-Code Data Processing
Being in total charge of IoT data streams is imperative to generate valuable information from raw sensor data. With No-Code Data Flows, IoT developers only need to define their data processing chain once and apply it to as many devices as you want.

Rule Engine
With the rule engine feature, they can process and analyze data from multiple devices simultaneously and trigger actions based on sensor data. These actions can include sending email or SMS notifications, downlinks, or aggregating data without requiring any coding skills.

Advanced User Management
Various stakeholders such as project managers and developers are involved during the lifecycle of an IoT project. With akenza’s built-in role-based access control, they have full access rights, allowing them to collaborate with all the parties involved securely.

Device Type Studio
akenza allows developers to choose from multiple devices and create a device type with a web-based device type studio. They are bound to benefit from a device-type library with a payload decoder/encoder for up-/downlinks. The well-known off-the-shelf IoT devices are already integrated with their open-source device library, and new devices are continually added.

Private Cloud
akenza can be deployed on the existing cloud, such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.

Visualizations
The akenza platform allows IoT developers to make more out of data by providing insightful data visualization. The built-in data visualization offers a direct overview of the data from computing devices, connects easily with dashboard builders such as Grafana, or uses one of the plugs and plays Business Intelligence Modules.

With all these features to support the development of IoT applications, they look forward to getting you started in your IoT journey. Visit their new website.

Stanford Student Entrepreneur Raised $800K on Kickstarter

Palo Alto, CA, April 02, 2015 — /EPR INTERNET NEWS/ — Stanford student Jerming Gu, founder of CANDY HOUSE Inc., raised more than $800,000 dollars after his product launch on Kickstarter. Sesame – the world’s first instant smart lock – reached its funding goal in nine hours when first introduced. Currently, nearly 5,000 supporters have backed the project.

Sesame allows users to lock and unlock their doors using the Sesame app on their smartphones. It is the only smart lock that syncs the movement of the lock with the phone, providing exact control of the angle to which the lock turns.

Gu is a mechanical engineering master candidate from Stanford University. Originally from Taiwan, Gu is someone who usually thinks outside the box. Disruptor, troublemaker, entrepreneur, as he calls himself.

“There has got to be smarter ways to live our life,” Gu said.

Gu said he got the idea for smart lock due to his experience living in Asia where technology is relatively less developed.

With five-patented design, Sesame works with just about any deadbolt in the world. Users can install it in seconds, without replacing existing lock or removing anything. Current model is optimized for US/Canada/northern Europe Markets.

CANDY HOUSE also offers optional access point, which connects Sesame to the Internet when plugged into any nearby outlet. It lets users control Sesame wherever they are.

With Internet connection capability, users can allow guests in remotely. They can also control who has access and when. To ensure safety, the Sesame app also sends out a notification whenever the door opens or closes.

About CANDY HOUSE
Founded and developed by Stanford University students, CANDY HOUSE, Inc. is a candy store that sells dreams, putting the joy and surprise of innovative technology in the hands of consumers, just like candy. It is also a design house, developing and manufacturing products that inspire a minimal lifestyle. It launched its first product – Sesame, the world’s first instant smart lock – in February 2015.
