It’s estimated that IoT devices would exceed more than 21 billion by 2025, according to The European Business Review. One reason is the emerging technology of 5G, which could assure better connectivity and speed of IoT devices. Another reason is the growing need of organizations for digital transformation, especially in times of uncertainty like 2020 was and in the next period at least.
- 30 billion – estimated number of IoT device connections by 2025 (IoT Analytics, 2020);
- 11.7% – the 2020 market share of IoT application software (IDC, 2020);
- The amount of data generated by IoT devices is expected to reach 73.1 ZB (zettabytes) by 2025;
- By 2025, there will be 152,200 IoT devices connecting to the internet per minute.
IoT technologies will be one of the main factors for business growth and innovation in the years to come.
In this age, many variables may influence your business, starting with employees and ending with a better version of what your industry offers released by your competition. Even as your company expands, there will always be new challenges to overcome.
Case Study #1: TaxIoT, off-the-shelf web solution for taxi fleet management (IoT-based)
We developed a web-based solution for remote monitoring and control of taximeters based on a microservices architecture.
The web-app helps taxi companies’ owners to save money and be flexible by monitoring applications and scaling up the infrastructure.
We define it as an off-the-shelf fleet management solution because it has an already-developed architecture easily customizable for new implementations.
Key-benefits provided by TaxIoT:
- Features for the equipment’s producer, distributors, and end-users:
- Features for the equipment’s producer, distributors, and end-users:
- Facilities for remote device configuration;
- Regular national reporting;
- On-line data visualization (including geolocation, status, and parameters of the devices).
Case Study #2: iOS app connected with physical devices for bringing workplace comfort to the next level (Living+ project)
Mobile Agency was interested in developing an iOS app that was to be used in a technical test center for a truck company to test new possibilities.
To support the showcase we developed an iOS app that interacts with the devices in the mockup (a bed, air, fresher and other things) through Bluetooth so that users have great control over them and quick access to an enhanced experience.
The project (Living+) came along with a challenge: this app is driving hardware based on a Bluetooth connection, and the hardware was located in the Netherlands. Yet Roweb succeeded in creating a driver relying only on own skills and available documentation.
There are three devices that can be controlled by the app. They are accessible via a Bluetooth manager (one Bluetooth manager for the e-fresh and seasonal sleeper, and another Bluetooth manager for the liftable bed).
Some features are simulated in the app, and some are actually The Bluetooth manager works as a bridge between the app and the devices.
