Digita has
begun cooperation with Wapice, which provides the Finnish industrial sector
with software solutions. The aim of this cooperation is to offer Digita and
Wapice’s customers efficient and agile IoT services that meet the needs of
industry. The first joint projects between the companies are already being
developed.

”Wapice has long experience of providing
industrial IoT solutions. Wapice will bring plenty of know-how and expertise on
the development of IoT services for industry in particular. For our part, we
can offer our nationwide IoT network based on LoRa technology to Wapice’s
customers,” says Ari Kuukka, Director
of IoT services at Digita.

With Wapice IoT-TICKET, users can build IoT
applications via a web browser in just minutes. On the basis of big data
collected from a range of sources, users can create Dashboards, reports,
analytics, and augmented reality. IoT-TICKET provides users with a
comprehensive and easy-to-use IoT Office experience (Dashboards, Reports,
Analytics, 3D, AR/VR, Data-Flows and much more).

 

“Combined
with Digita’s pioneering approach to making LoRa technology available to
customers, Wapice IoT-TICKET will provide companies with a seamless, overall
IoT solution,” says Markus J. Mäkelä,
Business Development Director of IoT-TICKET.
“Based on our new partnership, customers will gain access to the most developed
tools on the market, ready-packaged for the development of IoT business
activities.” LoRa will expand the already versatile range of ways in which
sensors and various sites are added to the IoT-TICKET platform.

The IoT services based on the partnership offer a wide range of solutions meeting the needs of the real estate, logistics and infrastructure sectors, among others. Together, Wapice and Digita provide the best rapidly deployed IoT-LoRa solution on the market.

 

LoRa
technology enables the rapid deployment of IoT solutions

 

Based on Digita’s two-way LoRa technology, the IoT
network makes the monitoring and control of various connected devices
cost-efficient and simple, with no need for complex LAN or gateway solutions at
the customer’s location. IoT technology enables an almost unlimited range of
applications that help customers in activities such as monitoring the condition
of equipment and measuring energy efficiency, as well as enabling
implementation of the Smart City and Smart Metering projects.

Digita is a strongly established Finnish company. Its
LoRaWAN IoT network covers much of Finland, serving customers in both urban and
rural areas. In 2017, Digita made major investments in developing its IoT
network, boosting the further development of indoor IoT solutions in
particular. Digita estimates that, five years from now, almost 20 million IoT
sensors will be making everyday life smoother in Finland.
