Switch Automation is a leading provider of automation and smart building solutions for commercial buildings, property portfolios, apartments and homes. We were the first in the industry to launch an entirely cloud-based, on-demand Intelligent Building Platform featuring a comprehensive range of green building automation, Data Aggregation and analytics services. We understand that being truly green means understanding exactly how, when and where your building or property portfolio uses resources like energy and water, knowing when equipment fails to operate properly in real time, and proactively addressing issues that arise...and we know that getting such detailed information can be difficult. Switch makes it easy with real time energy and operational data monitoring, analytics and control for every room or device, to the hour, minute and second of the day. You can use this data to pinpoint exactly how to tune your building or portfolio to run at its most efficient. Switch's web-based Intelligent Building Platform enables all users to get real value out of their property data – from property developers who assess the performance of their buildings, to property managers responsible for tuning buildings to satisfy regulatory and tenant requirements. It also helps building owners seeking the most efficient building operations to minimise utility and maintenance costs, lower total cost of ownership and report on their operational performance, greenhouse gas emissions and green building ratings. Our technology integrates a wide range of sensors, field Controllers and edge devices, such as Smart Meters, building management systems and renewable power sources, and provides local environmental information from weather stations and RSS feeds to put your building operations data into context.

Prodsmart is real time process Tracking for production lines and job shops. We turn any production line into a digital Smart Factory.

Industry 4.0 is the technological movement that represents the next phase of manufacture industries which results in a full Digitization of productive systems, connecting machines, people and processes. One of the main goals of Prodsmart is to catalyze Industry 4.0 through the mass adoption of the systems that allow all this movement to happen. We speak directly to the people within the organisation and we empower them. We provide them the ability to make quick decisions, short and autonomous software-implementation processes, with a quote and service level adjusted to their needs and level of usage. But Prodsmart’s relationship with people doesn’t stop here: we are a layer of virtual automation which transforms any production line into a smart digital factory, bringing the people, the processes and the machines together, converting the operators into knowledge workers and aiding the managers to take informed decisions. We feel that the concept of Industry 4.0 is deeply broken by leaving the people behind. It is too focused on machines and data and less focused on information, processes and people. However, the majority of the manufacturing landscape is comprised of very small businesses, which do not have access to the level of sophistication that’s being discussed. The role of the people is extremely important in manufacturing SMEs. We do believe that in a world that is becoming more and more digital the most important element in technology is the people and this is reflected in the way we approach and engage with our current and future users.

EpiSensor systems have a unique combination of features and qualities that make them suitable for use in the most secure and harsh and commercial and industrial environments, while maintaining ease of installation and flexibility. All of our documentation is published, and you don’t need any specialised training to deploy our monitoring systems. Key Applications: • Energy management • Demand response, or automated demand response (ADR) • Precision Agriculture

With the increasing and explosive growth of interconnected devices, Device Management is no longer a requirement exclusive to Telecom Equipment Manufacturers. Devices from the core of the network all the way down to Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), IoT sensors, and everything in between inclusive of Routers, Switches, and Gateways, etc. must be manageable. Though their deep relationships with important third parties, Enea is working to ensure that organizations creating network infrastructure equipment have pre-integrated support for solutions that save time, development cost, and accelerate time to market.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a development in which more and more "things" are communicating digitally with each other and with humans. This is possible by making them "smart". With sensors the electronics get senses that generate valuable information about their condition and their environment. And with wireless connectivity that information can be exchanged over the Internet. Also products can be operated remotely, for example via a smartphone. In this way, the physical and the virtual world are more and more connected to each other. This development combined with the exponential growth of technology will change organizations and our own lives. Redsalt's industrial background and broad knowledge of embedded systems, wireless applications, and front and back-end solutions, Redsalt can provide the entire chain of IoT. They specialize in providing a comprehensive portfolio of nearshore software development, engineering and research services and are experts in developing, testing and integrating software applications and embedded systems.

Yonyou's key products - which include enterprise management/ERP software and solutions - have bolstered the group's position as the largest management software supplier in Asia-Pacific.
