Paradox Engineering and Deutsche Telekom to develop common Internet of Things solutions

Companies around the world are evolving their infrastructures to make real-time use of 'big data' flows from fully-instrumented plants in order to improve productivity, adjust supply chains, and optimize consumption of key resources such as energy, water and raw materials. According to the US market research and consulting company MarketsandMarkets, Smart Factory investments are expected to globally generate revenues of $246 billion by 2018, with an estimated CAGR of about 8% from 2013 to 2018.

Smart plant assets monitoring is fundamental to ensure effective operations management, which in most cases is depending on data collection, information reporting, key parameters and indicators tracking Thanks to advanced monitoring solutions like Paradox Engineering's Wireless Sensor Network Solution, industrial companies in multiple markets, from manufacturing to energy generation, can unlock the intrinsic value of data lying in engines, devices, sensors, meters and plant equipment, getting useful insights to take smarter decisions about operations, but also to encourage innovation and explore new revenue opportunities and service models. The convergence between technology and industries will pave the way for a new ecosystem of services which will enable a more efficient business, a better quality of life and reduced energy consumption.

Today, the quality of air and water, the movement of people and objects, the changes in weather, the road traffic, the production and consumption of energy, can indeed be measured by sensors, and tracked and interconnected through networks in real time. But it is through interconnecting intelligent buildings, smart factories, connected vehicles, adaptive power generation plants, efficient lighting, that communities will be "smart".

Paradox Engineering's open standard based PE.AMI and PE.WSNi enable multi-application, scalable, flexible and modular wireless/powerline full mesh narrowband IPv6/6LoWPAN and broadband integrated network platforms, agnostic to field devices (sensors, meters, etc.) and to applications. Paradox Engineering's solution is a unigue and multipurpose platform to set up solutions for smart factories and smart cities

Deutsche Telekom and Paradox Engineering are collaborating on several projects centered on Smart City and Smart Lighting initiatives throughout Europe and based on Paradox Engineering PE.AMI Smart City technology platform and PE.STONE OEM solution. Similarly, with their partnership the two companies are willing to boost the edge and strengthen their presence in the Internet of Things and Machine-to-Machine markets.
