What is the Internet of Things (IoT)?
The Internet of Things is about connecting things that need monitoring to those that are managing them. There are many things, from small to large, that can be connected. Some of these things could be your home appliances and utilities, work machinery, industrial systems, cars and many others. At Spireon, we focus on connecting things in the automotive and transportation space. For example, we help connect car owners to their vehicles, fleet managers to their fleets of trucks, and transportation companies to their trailers and shipping containers.
How Spireon delivers IoT Benefits
Spireon’s IoT solution enables connectivity from users to their objects via sensors. Network enabled sensors are placed on the items we monitor, which collect data about these objects, and deliver it to our systems over secure communication channels. Communicating this data is central to how we help our customers collect information on and manage their vehicles.
Our NSpire platform, a rich data collection and analysis platform, collects and processes information on vehicles and assets, and enables two-way communication for management and control. It also analyzes and produces deep insights about the operations and health of the vehicles that are tracked. As a result, we provide the business intelligence needed to act on those insights. We also build best-in-class web and mobile applications and APIs on top of our platform in order to give customers easy and intuitive access to actively manage their vehicles and assets, at anytime and from anywhere.
