The Need for a Flexible and Open IoT
Platform
1. Customizable platform
2. Reduces time to prototype/market from months to
weeks
3. Minimizes the cost and risk of application development
4. Can be easily tailored for multiple business applications
5. Capable of handling millions of devices and scale
elastically
6. As the platform evolves, you get new features for free
7. Speeds up the rule creation process
8. Easily handling data ownership for sharing and
monetizing

favoriot IoT Platform Offers
• Device Connectivity - Supports different protocols and data format. Application
Programming Interface (API) ensuring accurate data streaming and interaction with all
devices
• Device Management - To ensures the connected “things” are working properly. We create
the abstraction of the physical devices in IOT realms within the IOT middleware
• Scalable Database - Scalable storage of device data brings the requirements for hybrid
cloud-based databases to a new level in terms of data volume, variety, velocity and
veracity
• Business Logic - Brings data to life with rule-based event-action-triggers
• Notification Engine - Combining business logic with notification engine enable execution of
“smart” actions based on specific sensor data
• Dashboarding - Enables users to see patterns and observe trends from visualization
dashboards where data is vividly portrayed through various type of charts
• Application Programming Interface - APIs that act as interfaces for third party systems
• Security - All interaction with the IOT Middleware are secured via HTTP/TLS protocol
