Extensively New Capabilities for Award-Winning WebNMS IoT Application Platform Increase ROI for Enterprises

WebNMS, a leading provider of scalable software platforms for IoT and multi-vendor network management solutions, will introduce its location and vehicle management capabilities at IoT Evolution Expo. These new capabilities for the WebNMS IoT Application Platform make it the industry’s first open IoT platform to combine remote monitoring and energy management with location and vehicle management.

Applications built on the platform’s open APIs allow enterprises to increase the productivity of fixed and mobile, high-value assets while reducing their total operational expense (OPEX). IoT Evolution is being held Aug.17-20, 2015, at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

“IOT Evolution is a great forum to exhibit our enterprise location and vehicle management solutions,” said Prabhu Ramachandran, director of WebNMS. “These unified capabilities, published as APIs on our open IoT platform, enable enterprise IoT application innovation where it makes a big difference to the bottom line.”

The profits of many businesses rely on extracting value from intensive investment in high-value capital assets. These assets include remote physical plant, vehicle fleets and shared or leased portable equipment. Today, managing these assets requires the use of proprietary software applications that inhibit operational integration and limit economies of scale. In order to leverage the efficiencies of IoT technology, enterprises need more flexible, scalable solutions built within an open ecosystem.

Now, the WebNMS IoT solution unifies a comprehensive suite of capabilities, exposed as open APIs on the scalable WebNMS IoT Application Platform. This open platform approach simplifies and accelerates enterprise IoT application development, helping to foster a robust ecosystem for operational integration and coordination of diverse capital assets. WebNMS collaborates with IoT hardware vendors, solution partners and third-party application developers to promote a robust, open IoT ecosystem for scalable, secure solutions for enterprises and service providers.

The WebNMS IoT Application Platform has already won awards for its open architecture and its industry-leading applications. These applications continuously track the real-time security, energy usage, environment and operational condition of remote infrastructure such as cell towers, windmills, ATM sites, data centers (DCIM) and transportation systems. The platform shares collected information via open APIs to enable operational optimization with data analytics.

Now, WebNMS is unveiling new capabilities that include location tagging, geo-fencing, asset routing and on-board diagnostics. Also accessible via open APIs, these functions enable innovative applications for fleet management, logistics orchestration, remote troubleshooting and maintenance scheduling. Fostering the development of open applications for specific vertical markets, the WebNMS solution helps enterprises increase profits by optimizing asset productivity and reducing OPEX expenses such as energy and maintenance.

New Feature Overview

  • Location Tagging – Tracks asset location in real time via GPS or RFID, a concept similar to that seen in social networking posts.
  • Geo-Fencing – Correlates asset location with flexibly-defined, geographic zones. This allows the enterprise to enforce custom, complex policies when efficiently routing mobile assets.
  • Asset Routing – Automates the itinerary generation and path selection to direct vehicles and portable equipment to efficiently and reliably fulfill business or service objectives.
  • On-Board Diagnostics – Monitors the health of remote assets using open interfaces such as the on-board diagnostic (OBD II) system, commonly embedded in many vehicles and equipment. High-fidelity visibility into the condition of a remote asset increases operational reliability, enables remote troubleshooting and optimizes maintenance scheduling.
