M2M APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT
Connected devices are playing an increasingly important role in people’s daily lives. Generally connected to the Internet, they help companies collect precious and exploitable information as part of their development, follow-up and innovative strategy.
The M2M (Machine to Machine) solutions enable the communication between connected devices and a server, as well as the communication between the connected devices themselves.
Feasibility study, development or even architecture design, InfoStyle supports you throughout the whole M2M project in order to combine innovation and stability.
MACHINE TO MACHINE: WHO IS INVOLVED?
Every sector is potentially affected by the opportunities linked to the development of machine to machine solutions, because they help companies consider new economic models, offer new services or even, become closer to their customers.
The following fields of application are only a few examples among numerous possibilities:
- health: home help, digital health records, telemedicine, connected feeding bottles, connected bracelets…
