Beta version of amnimo sense, packaged with features necessary from installation to operation of IoT, will launch its service in Malaysia on Thursday, November 7th, 2019.
amnimo, Inc. (“amnimo”) and TK International Sdn. Bhd. (“TKI”), an IT solutions provider in Malaysia, have packaged a suite of features necessary from installation to operation of the Industrial Internet of Things (Industrial IoT). The two companies will begin offering the package in Malaysia on Thursday, November 7th, 2019, as amnimo sense beta (“amnimo sense”), an IoT service for the industry available in installments from as little as one month, for ease of use and implementation.
The partners aim to make amnimo sense a service that is constantly improved and advanced in collaboration with customers.
IoT is a framework for the exchange of information among a wide range of objects by connecting them to servers and cloud services over a network. In recent years, companies and organizations in a broad array of industries and business models have made rapid strides in the application and use of IoT. However, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have made considerably less progress in IoT utilization than large companies, as they often lack the necessary IT specialists or resources to commit to major continuing investments in new businesses.
To solve these problems, amnimo has launched amnimo sense, a service that packages a suite of basic features necessary for using IoT, available in user-friendly installments of as little as one month. Rates for the service are determined by the context it is used.
Subscription to and use of amnimo sense is available from amnimoʼs e-commerce website.
1. Example of actual service use
・ The monthly fee is based on the number of endpoint devices and gateways
selected by the user on the e-commerce website, the data traffic volume
generated on the mobile network and the number of users.
・ For example, if 10 users operate 10 measurement points (endpoint devices)
and one gateway on a single 100MB connection, the monthly fee is US$305
per month (tax included), provided the users supply the sensors themselves.
The advantage of amnimo sense is that it packages the features necessary to implement IoT from installation to operation, including data collection, communications, operation, monitoring, security and more in the basic service. This comprehensive package makes amnimo sense easy to connect, use quickly and easily with no specialized knowledge.
To ensure security, each gateway of a customer who purchases amnimo sense is issued a unique digital certificate, which is installed at the factory before it is shipped. After shipment, the digital certificate is issued automatically by a simple activation performed by the user, establishing safe data communications.
Developed exclusively by amnimo, the endpoint devices (devices that input the analog data acquired from sensors and communicate it to the parent gateway device using the LoRa2 protocol; see photo) adopt an energy-saving design that enables them to continue acquiring data over extended periods of time.
2. A wireless communication protocol that covers a wide area with low power consumption (Low Power Wide Area (LPWA)). Used in IoT communication networks.
The gateway is a relay device that connects the endpoint devices with the amnimo cloud system.
Some potential users of amnimo sense may lack a specific idea of which devices to use to acquire data or how to apply the service. For such users, amnimo has posted on its website a series of use cases for amnimo sense, listing the devices required and the sequence of steps to build the system for each. We call these use cases “IoT recipes.”
The amnimo sense recipes can be found at https://amnimo.com/en/solution/r ecipe/. As of this date, amnimo has published the following 15 recipes. We pla n to continuously expand the list with the addition of further recipes
Subscription to amnimo sense is available from the amnimo website as of today,
Thursday, November 7th, 2019.
