More and more products, machines and installations are being connected to the internet. This creates valuable data, but also the need to collect, process and make this data available in a proper way.
IOT APPS develops custom IoT platforms for OEMs, manufacturers and service organizations. From connecting to your devices and collecting data to a dedicated web application, dashboard, mobile apps and integrations with existing systems.
Not a standard solution that your product has to adapt to, but a platform developed around your specific application, with full IP ownership in your possession. This means you are not tied to a single supplier and do not have to worry about vendor lock-in.
Phasefour/IoT apps Eindhoven handled the implementation of our online IoT platform, Fri-Jado SmartConnect. SmartConnect provides fleet management for connected rotisserie ovens belonging to major food retail customers worldwide. Particularly in the USA and Australia, where travel distances are considerable, the large chains see significant potential for savings on service costs through remote insight and greater predictability. Repairing and carrying out maintenance “right the first time” is the key factor in this. Significant savings have already been achieved for various customers through OTA updates of firmware and recipes on the ovens. Our users in Italy are focused on monitoring operations in the stores and the differences between them. For us as a manufacturer, being able to monitor the behavior of the ovens in the field online, as well as the practical behavior of operators, has already proven to be very valuable. Thousands of ovens are now connected to our platform.
We are very satisfied with the straightforward cooperation with Phasefour. Our SmartConnect solution is still being further developed and optimized every day to deliver increasing customer value.

IOT APPS develops IoT cloud applications based on Microsoft Azure, often in the form of an IoT platform but sometimes also as standalone cloud applications. We have chosen Azure as our primary platform, mainly because of the connection it provides to our customers' practical needs. We have specific experience with Azure IoT Hub, which we use for some, but not all, Azure IoT projects. In addition to Azure, we also use Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services for specific applications.
Low costs and scalability are essential requirements for many IoT concepts. That is why we consider not only performance but also scalability and costs as an integral part of the development process for our custom cloud solutions. With the right choices for storage, significant gains can often be achieved compared with more traditional solutions using SQL databases, especially with large amounts of data. But of course, this also applies to other choices made during the cloud development process. Please contact us and we will be happy to discuss your case with you.
IOT APPS is an initiative of PhaseFour from Eindhoven. All IOT APPS activities are carried out by PhaseFour employees.
