Transforming devices into smart ecosystems:
Transforming devices into smart ecosystems:
The number of connected IoT devices is expected to cross 31 billion by 2030. Enterprises of Aotearoa are betting big on the Internet of Things to make the most of data, improve products, and boost performance. However, leveraging IoT requires engineers with end-to-end IoT development, testing, and consulting expertise. At API Connects, we help businesses overcome challenges posed by IoT. Here are the IoT obstacles that our engineers resolve on a regular basis:
Integrating diverse smart devices and sensors from different manufacturers, using various protocols (MQTT, Zigbee, HTTP, RTSP, etc), into a unified IoT platform is complex and time-consuming.
Converting traditional, non-smart infrastructure (IP cameras, security systems, industrial equipment, etc.) into intelligent, connected systems that enable automation and data-driven decisions.
Managing the massive volumes of real-time data generated by IoT devices, and ensuring it is processed and analyzed efficiently to deliver actionable insights.
Ensuring seamless communication and interaction between heterogeneous IoT devices and systems that often use different technologies or operate in siloed environments.
Lack of centralized control and real-time visibility over connected devices, impacting operational efficiency and security.
Ensuring robust data security, device authentication, and privacy compliance across a growing network of connected devices.
As IoT networks expand, scaling infrastructure and platforms without losing performance or reliability is one of the biggest challenges.
Industries like smart homes, energy, and agriculture require tailored IoT solutions, and managing this variety of use cases and device types can be challenging.
Be it startups of Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) or NZ enterprises operating globally, API Connects is supporting businesses of all sizes with IoT application development and also infrastructure management solutions.
