How two of the largest European refrigeration companies used iBot Processor to create connected products

Situation

The two clients are the largest manufacturers of refrigerators that are sold to other businesses. Each of them are market leaders in their own right and have a legacy that spans beyond the two world wars and into this new century. They are family owned and their businesses have always reflected family values and traditions. They wanted to augment their way into the new century by expanding their products and services.

Problem

How would they be able to augment their products and services while not disrupting their current product lines? How would they be able to create a digital line of business that augments their physical products business? How would they be able to do so while complying with the myriad standards and compliance requirements?

Solution

iBot was chosen to help design and manufacture a new line of sensor products that would augment their current business. The N-series and E-series processors were chosen for the job. 

 

iBot designed and manufactured a new line of temperature, door and energy sensors that would monitor their refrigerators and send this data to a hub that was receiving data using our E-series processors over a wireless network and sending it across to the customer’s cloud.

 

Our trusted iBot Hive is always there to ensure that iBot’s devices, apps and connectivity is running and manages any hardware and app upgrades ever so smoothly.

Outcome

We helped our client come up with a digital line of business to augment their physical product sale. When the launch happens, we will be the first to let you know!
