What is EmbedThis® Ioto?
At EmbedThis, we're on a mission to dramatically simplify device connectivity and management, enabling makers and equipment builders to swiftly develop exceptional products that are easy to manage and accessible from anywhere.
EmbedThis Ioto® (pronounced "eye-oh-toe") is a comprehensive, end-to-end IoT Meta-Platform for managing devices, whether via the cloud or directly on the device. Ioto is a complete solution and not just a set of building blocks. Ioto includes a device builder portal, on-device agent, cloud-based device management, and a low-code app designer. It provides all the necessary tools to rapidly create, configure, and deploy secure IoT environments and applications.
What is a Meta-Platform?
Instead of introducing another IoT platform, we have focused on delivering a complete solution that fully leverages and extends the existing and leading AWS IoT platform.
An IoT Meta-Platform is a software layer that extends a foundational IoT platform to deliver a complete, end-to-end IoT solution. It adds missing services such as device cloud creation, streamlined provisioning, data modeling, automation workflows, and low-code builders for rapidly developing IoT device apps.
The AWS IoT platform offers a robust set of building blocks that include device provisioning, connectivity, messaging, data routing and storage. Ioto builds upon these AWS IoT capabilities by providing a Device Builder Studio, compact embedded device agent, transparent device data synchronization, analytics, OTA updates and a low-code device app designer. This comprehensive approach accelerates and enhances the underlying AWS platform's functionalities, allowing you to create, configure, and deploy secure IoT environments and applications in minutes rather than months.
