Xiamen, China, and Tokyo, Japan, October 26th, 2023 - Milesight, a leading provider of innovative sensing products and solutions, together with Asteria Corporation, a leading enterprise software company, announced a deep technical collaboration in order to simplify the implementation of IoT solutions mainly including indoor air quality (IAQ), smart offices, smart buildings, smart cities, smart agriculture, smart manufacturing and many other verticals. Both Milesight and Asteria agreed on technical cooperation and mutual promotion of the integrated Milesight LoRaWAN® gateways, sensors and Asteria’s Node Computing Platform - Gravio.
What is a Node Computing platform?
A node computing platform, according to Asteria, enables leveraging cloud as well as edge applications equally in a distributed fashion. Gravio specifically enables anyone to build business applications from aggregated data in a no-code environment. Now, as part of Asteria’s portfolio, Milesight LoRaWAN® Gateways allow seamless connectivity to the Gravio platform. With this integration, users will be able to build business processes from IoT data that is collected from Milesight sensors at the edge or in the cloud alike.
Milesight Innovative and Sensing Products
Milesight Sensors are compatible with LoRaWAN® that enables ultra-long-range communication combined with low power consumption. With high quality and high performance, they are ideal for various application scenarios and are tested and used worldwide. The most outstanding ones are the sensors for distance/level measurement.
EM310-UDL Ultrasonic Distance/Level Sensor
Well equipped with dual ultrasonic sensor, Milesight EM310-UDL has ultra-short blind zone. The built-in 3-axis accelerometer allows users to recognize the device's movement efficiently and reliably. Featured withIP67 rating, the robust sensor is water resistant. Its various application scenarios including smart bin, smart parking, smart sewer, smart manhole cover, etc. help pave the way to a smarter city.
Milesight EM400 series consists of three sensors - EM400-TLD, EM400-MUD, and EM400-UDL to cater to different distance and level measurement needs. With the common features of robust build and extended battery life, these sensors have their specialties to help optimize production, eliminate waste, and ensure safety.
Asteria’s Gravio Node Computing Platform
Gravio collects field data from nodes installed in various locations and integrates them into the Gravio Cloud service, a centralized data management system. The collected data can be seamlessly linked to other services for effective utilization, and various settings can be easily configured without coding with a user-friendly UI. Gravio, which is made up of both edge and cloud computing systems, node devices, sensors, and data storage and management services, that will facilitate Digital Transformation journeys.
Key features of Gravio include:
Data Aggregation Capabilities: Gravio provides seamless compatibility with renowned standards and industry protocols like TensorFlow, MQTT, ONVIF and many more. Users can aggregate data directly at the edge, ushering in a transformative mode of building applications.
User-friendly Interface: Gravio is tailored to ensure ease of use, removing the need for extensive software development skills. Notwithstanding, there is flexibility for the deployment of bespoke scripts should they be required.
Gravio caters to a broad spectrum of business sizes and industries, aiming to enable businesses to be better integrated and interconnected.
