| These days, everything is “smart”. We’ve got “intelligent cars”, “smart homes” and great industrial automation processes. But for some reason, as smart as your car may be, it’s still won’t turn on the lights in your home as you come up the driveway. Chances are that even if you have a Smart Home system installed, you still have to dial a number or send an SMS to control systems. Why can’t all of these “smart” systems just get along? This is where AggreGate comes in. If your Smart Home and your intelligent car were two pieces of bread in a sandwich, AggreGate would be the peanut butter holding it all together. AggreGate can get inputs from multiple systems, and send outputs back to those same systems (or different ones). It is Java-based, so it runs on just about any modern operating system. Of course, real life isn’t always as neat as technical demos, and sometimes connections break. Some systems are not even meant to maintain stable connections – let’s say you have a forklift at a factory, and it drives out of wireless range. Then what? AggreGate was built from the ground up for such circumstances exactly. An extensive (and, if we may say so ourselves, intelligent) caching system exists to maintain device settings on the server side, and synchronize them as soon as the device comes into range. AggreGate is also a multi-user system. User permissions reflect business roles: An accountant may view personnel attendance reports (from the integrated Time and Attendance system), but may not add or remove users, for example. Other strategic benefits of AggreGate Platform include patented device normalization technology, domain-specific expression and query languages, integrated visual editors for creating dynamic interfaces, open-source APIs, and more. With its standard protocol drivers, AggreGate may can communicate with sensors, on-board vehicle controllers, industrial controllers and a host of other gear. This makes it a natural fit for remote monitoring, telemetry, fleet management, vending machine management, sensor networks control, digital signage, people counting, mobile device management, automatic meter reading, home automation, or any creative combination of these you can think of. There are several out-of-the-box enterprise-grade industry solutions built atop of AggreGate Platform and distributed as separate products: Network Manager, SCADA/HMI, Time and Attendance, Access Control and Building Automation. This is but a tiny bit of what AggreGate may do, but we hope we’ve managed to pique your curiosity.
