Utilising over 15 years of market knowledge and industry best practice, the company recognised a significant gap in the market. Devicesmart has achieved significant market traction from major multinational companies. Most competitors in this area are hardware intensive and single protocol vendors. In any facility you will have a range of different vendors and different protocols. The requirement t
o provide turnkey solutions is serviced by the our competitors providing box solutions. In order for them to deal with multiple different vendors and protocols they have to provide new hardware to do prototcol-translation from many protocols into a single protocol. This has the added effect of increasing the hardware, installation and configuration costs of the systems and leads to a hardware intensive, expensive solution which are not easily scalable. DeviceSmart has developed innovative software technology that allows organisations, to control multi-protocol based vendor hardware solutions. In 90% of cases DeviceSmart connects directly to the end-node device and communicates directly to that device in its’ native protocol. The net effect of the DeviceSmart solution, requires a lot less hardware and a smaller space footprint which lends to the more efficient running of facilities and resources, ensuring economies of scale and allowing for the reduction of energy requirements. The DeviceSmart solution is easily scalable as the direct connection to the devices in all cases is via standard TCP/IP and utilises standard switches and M2M modules. Simply adding a new modules makes DeviceSmart easy to scale as new propierty hardware is not required. In the 10% of cases where no inteligence is present on the end-node device, relay or dry contact based devices for example, we add and inexpensive gateway device to hang this unit on the network, typically for under €150 cost.
