“Technology is a gift of God. After the gift of life, it is perhaps the greatest of God’s gifts. It is the mother of civilizations, of arts and of sciences.” – Freeman Dyson
Everyone today is aware that the future of technology is exploding into something most poeple can barely comprehend. For those in the tech industry, getting ahead of innovations is what keeps things running smoothly. Cloud Computing and IoT analytics and data processing technologies are evolving… in such a way that simply running them is getting cumbersome. The evolution of these technologies has created the need for an IoT and SaaS middleware platform. RoboMQ was founded in 2012 with a vision to build a middleware integration platform for IoT and SaaS that will help businesses solve their Integration challenges and enable them to succeed.
Product Offerings
RoboMQ is an IoT & SaaS CSI/middleware platform that can integrate IoT & SaaS applications using any industry standard protocol with no proprietary APIs. At the core, it is a message-oriented middleware with our ThingsConnect suite of adapters and connectors, management UI and messaging dashboard with real-time analytics engine. A ThingsConnect integration platform is what creates this differentiation… through protocol adapters and converters. Two systems can speak different protocols and still be able to integrate together. Additionally, the company has its “Microservices Platform” that uses the core middleware, multi-protocol gateway, along with messaging fabric and docker based development framework, to build services using the Microservices architecture. Microservices based development reduces the cost of implementation and increases the service or component reusability for the client.
The “Hybrid Messaging Cloud” provides a local middleware for the integration of local site-specific systems with federation and buffering to the cloud for integration with global or enterprise systems. It is ideal for businesses that have both local and enterprise systems with intermittent network connectivity across sites.
Key Differentiators
Clientele
TopGolf is the largest client of the company. RoboMQ is currently working with many IoT companies with interesting use cases, from metering solar power units to building automation and remote monitoring of critical assets. It is actively targeting IoT players in remote monitoring, activation, provisioning and lifecycle management of critical assets. On SaaS integration, it is targeting entertainment, hospitality, casinos, oil and gas, retail and industrial automation.
Present and Future Focus Areas
Currently, RoboMQ plans to focus on acquiring more customers and create industry specific solutions using its unique platform. For example, based on interaction with the Casino industry, which favors on-premise applications, the company is coming up with an appliance version of the product that will work out of the box when simply racked and powered. For the future, RoboMQ plans to establish itself as the leading Enterprise IoT and CSI platform.
