The Challenge: Personalized experiences and communications at scale

Many busi­ness own­ers are look­ing to cre­ate per­son­al­ized expe­ri­ences, but run into issues with Wi-Fi access, mobile apps and per­haps most impor­tant­ly lag time in try­ing to com­pute data fast when it needs to send every­thing back to the cloud for pro­cess­ing. The prob­lem with this strat­e­gy is that work­ing in a phys­i­cal space and not just dig­i­tal, requires instant pro­cess­ing to deliv­er cus­tomized expe­ri­ences and opti­mal per­for­mance for resources and assets.

Oper­a­tional­ly it is impor­tant to have con­trol over and choose when to process data imme­di­ate­ly for action or when to send large vol­umes of data over the net­work.

Edis­on enables you to build a cus­tomized strat­e­gy on when to ana­lyze data at the edge and when to send to the cloud. Edge pro­cess­ing cre­ates tremen­dous val­ue in IoT solu­tions as it helps to cor­re­late and ana­lyze data mak­ing access sim­pler and eas­ier to act upon.

The Solution: Edison Smart Mesh Networking

Edis­on is a smart mesh edge com­put­ing group of devices that cre­ate local­ized secure net­works. Man­ag­ing and inter­act­ing with local­ly installed IoT hard­ware, Edis­on lever­ages the pow­er of Sirqul’s cloud offer­ing to cre­ate remote oper­a­tion, trig­ger­able alerts, and Over-the-Air (OTA) updates.

Sirqul’s Edis­on devices with patent­ed mesh tech­nol­o­gy “Play­field” enables any build­ing or out­door space to instant­ly tri­an­gu­late staff or guests pro­vid­ing heatmaps, dwell times, floor plan opti­miza­tion, turn-by-turn nav­i­ga­tion, push cus­tomized con­tent, media, deals or alerts, auto­mate the envi­ron­ment, provide Wi-Fi access, and send cam­paigns based on geofenced trig­gers.

As a next-gen­er­a­tion set of devices that can be added to a new build­ing or eas­i­ly retro­fitted, Edis­on sup­ports cross-pro­to­col trans­la­tion: WiFi, Blue­tooth, BLE, RFID, NFC, Zig­bee, 3G/4G and more. Imple­men­ta­tions range from autonomous robot­ics to park­ing to retail to sta­di­ums to air­ports to hotels to com­mu­ni­ties and more.

Edis­on is a com­bi­na­tion of hard­ware and soft­ware and is white-label ready for hard­ware man­u­fac­tur­ers or indus­try brands look­ing to com­plete their solu­tion offer­ing. Brands can sim­ply apply their name and build on top of the plat­form. And hard­ware man­u­fac­tur­ers can cre­ate intel­li­gent prod­ucts with “Pro­duct-as-a-Ser­vice” busi­ness mod­els in order to offer cus­tomized expe­ri­ences and reoc­cur­ring rev­enue streams.

How it Works

Hardware Ready or Bring Your Own Device
  • Android OS firmware sup­port: 5.0 Lol­lipop — 6.0 Marsh­mal­low
  • CPU: CPU, Quad Cor­tex A7, 1.094 GHz, 504 NSP
  • Mem­o­ry (eMCP): eMM­C_8GB + LPDDR2_1GB
  • WiFi/BT: IEEE 802.11 b/g/n and BT4.1 (BR/EDR + BLE)
  • MFI IC: Authen­ti­ca­tion Coproces­sor
  • PMIC: Pow­er man­age­ment IC devices

 

1. SET-UP: Sirqul’s sim­u­la­tor deter­mi­nes num­ber of devices and loca­tions based on obsta­cles, lay­out, and high con­gest­ed areas. The strate­gic place­ment of the Edis­on devices cre­ate over­lap­ping con­cen­tric cir­cles to pro­duce an accu­rate loca­tion down to the foot. Each device can daisy chain com­mu­ni­ca­tions with near­by devices and oth­er IoT enabled devices like smart TVs, smart­phones, tablets, con­nect­ed cars, wear­ables and dig­i­tal dis­plays.

2. ANALYZE: The Edis­on device runs an appli­ca­tion with Android com­put­ing capa­bil­i­ty at the edge and in the cloud. This enables faster pro­cess­ing of ana­lyt­ics in a loca­tion aware con­text for max­i­mum ben­e­fit.

3. ACTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE: Real-time actions are pre­dict­ed and pre­scribed lever­ag­ing patent­ed smart mesh tech­nol­o­gy, APIs and dash­board tem­plates. Edis­on enables actions such as wayfind­ing, loca­tion con­text, machine learn­ing, geofenc­ing, alerts and trig­gers, rewards, rec­om­men­da­tions, per­son­al­ized con­tent, heatmaps, pro­duct place­ment opti­miza­tion and turn by turn direc­tions.
