December 13, 2005
- Wireless monitoring of food via the Internet within retail, factories and transportation
- Service-based delivery of information for HACCP compliance and temperature profiles
Comtech Holdings Ltd, the leading Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Solution Enabler and Invisible Systems Ltd a Value Added Reseller (VAR) today announce a cooperation agreement. Together, the companies offer service-based wireless monitoring solutions for the food industry.
Invisible Systems are a Solution Provider delivering local wireless monitoring solutions to retail food end users within factories, retail stores and transportation. Solutions include automated temperature monitoring for HACCP compliance and recording of corrective actions, where information is delivered to end users on a service basis.
Comtech provide the "M2M within" the application (end-to-end communication infrastructure) through their µWEAVE "out of the box" wireless monitoring system. µWEAVE comprises an intelligent GSM/GPRS wireless gateway for remote sites, web-based back-office management software and specialised M2M services. µWEAVE eliminated the need for an on-site PC at each remote site, enabling Invisible Systems to collect data and deliver service-based information from a single location via the Internet. They were able to tailor the solution to meet their end users business needs through "configuration rather than design" with a service-based approach that offers a quick time to market and rapid Return on Investment (ROI)
We looked at creating our own solution for monitoring remotes sites via the Internet, but soon discovered the complexity of an end-to-end solution that would have taken us 18-months to develop" said Pete Thompson, Managing Director, Invisible Systems, "We realised that this would have been a distraction to our business and delayed getting our product to market. Within 3 weeks of working with Comtech, we had a demonstration system completed
Invisible systems have been enable to achieve fast time to market in offering wireless monitoring services based around their core business without needing to bother with the underlying M2M technology. Likewise, Comtech are able to offer a complete solution to retail food end users through partners who are experts in their field.
We focus on the creating the communication solution for many markets so that our partners can focus on their applications," said Steve Whitehead, Technical Director, Comtech Holdings Ltd, "Invisible Systems not only offer expertise within the food industry, but also local wireless monitoring solutions to sensor level for this market. This is a true win-win partnership where we can each extend the reach our solutions without re-inventing the wheel
