A simple method: we always start with a POC, then activate the value building blocks — after-sales, tickets, spare parts… — in the order that pays off fastest for you.
Home > Methodology
An agile, methodical approach that simply can’t miss
Our IoT platform is generic and highly configurable: one architecture, reused project after project — only the IoT nomenclature and the dashboard content change. From sensor to decision, we master the whole chain, for a fast, low-risk deployment.
What our experience shows: every machine manufacturer has the same goals.
Monitor their R&D prototypes
Collect data from the products they sell to understand real-world use
Run remote diagnostics to limit site visits
Offer new services to their customers
Sell more spare parts and consumables and grow their service business
Preserve know-how despite technician turnover, thanks to a solid knowledge base
All with fine-grained access-rights management: everyone sees and does only what concerns them. Your data stays yours: it can be hosted on your own private cloud.
Our deployment methodology
Only one mandatory step — the POC, always first. After that, each value building block stands on its own: we go after the return on investment where it is, as fast as possible.
We always start here
POC — proof with 2 or 3 machines
Connecting 2 or 3 of your products — often R&D prototypes whose operation needs validating. Over about 3 months, we build the monitoring dashboards and set up remote control where needed. For example starting and stopping a product based on a time slot, thanks to our machine-state calendar.
Then the value building blocks, in any order you like
None is a prerequisite for the others. We start with the one that creates the most value for you.
After-sales & remote diagnostics
Extending connectivity to more equipment, with an after-sales and remote-diagnostics focus to reduce and better prepare on-site visits.
Ticket management
Integrated ticketing and discussions: centralise requests, track interventions and keep the history of exchanges in one place.
Test benches
Integration of the tests run on end-of-line test benches, to historise the data and the test results.
Connected maintenance
Roll-out of connected maintenance contracts and extension of the warranty service.
Online parts sales
Online ordering flow for consumables and spare parts, with exploded-view diagrams integrated into the platform — directly accessible from the mobile app and the QR code.
+
+ your own use cases
The platform is configurable without redeployment: we add new building blocks and dashboards at the pace of your needs.
What makes us different
01
Multi-brand & agnostic
Generic CAN bus (DBC) decoding and multi-protocol: we connect equipment from any brand, where single-brand solutions stop.
02
An end-to-end chain
From sensor to decision: CAN Connect® gateway, data collection, storage, web platform and field mobile app — a single, fully mastered chain.
03
Configurable dashboards
A highly configurable platform: we deploy and evolve your business dashboards without redeployment, at the pace of your needs.
04
CAN Connect® gateway
A bi-directional, compact and easy-to-deploy GSM telematics box to connect your multiplexed equipment effortlessly.
05
Security & access rights
Secure data exchange (SSL + encryption) and fine-grained access-rights management: everyone sees and does only what concerns them.
The solution in video
Designed for machine manufacturers, our turnkey solution covers the full range of IOT processes: data collection, storage, analysis and exploitation. We support manufacturers of industrial equipment to develop new innovative service offers by connecting the products they sells to the Internet
Testimonials from the machine manufacturers we work for
Gilles RIBOULET
R&D Manager, electric range ALAMO
An end-to-end IoT solution: the CAN Connect® gateway is easy to deploy and compact, and telemetric transfer over low bandwidth keeps the subscription cost down. On the server side, we access our machine data with multi-user login, central storage, real-time or deferred processing, and detection of critical parameters.
Antony TREVISAN
CEO BOUTYPLAST
“The only simple system that gives a real-time view of your workshop, and that actually works. IOT Express® is the interface between our ERP and our physical flows: it reconciles our information system with lean manufacturing.”
Yves GIROUD
CEO NEOTRUCKS
At Neotrucks, the circular economy is our starting point: we give tractors a second life to deliver decarbonised heavy handling. By connecting our vehicles with IOT Express, we give our customers real-data proof of the performance and carbon savings of their fleet.
Nathanaël MAGNIN
R&D Manager Para-PM AEROPHILE
A turnkey IoT solution — connectivity, servers, storage and interfaces — that lets us focus on our core business. Highly customisable dashboards, tailored to each user and keeping up with our evolving needs. A responsive, agile team that evolves the platform at the pace of our R&D — such as adding a task-planning tool that strengthened adoption by our customers.
