Delivers a faster, less expensive method for developing smart M2M apps
Leuven, Belgium – June 29, 2015 – Option (EURONEXT: OPTI; OTC: OPNVY), the company connecting Things to the Cloud, today announced Luvit-RED, a visually configurable agent for design and deployment of smart M2M solutions using CloudGate hardware devices. Luvit-RED connects and matches local devices, industrial assets or sensors to remote servers via a simple and easy-to-use method of “visual wiring,” with almost no programming required. Simple “drag and drop” functionality replaces traditional software coding, and M2M applications can be designed with just a few mouse clicks. By enabling rapid prototyping, development and deployment of M2M applications, Luvit-RED reduces cost, speeds time to market and mitigates risk.
Building scalable and reliable M2M applications is conceptually easy, but can be practically and technically difficult. Key requirements include the ability to capture sensor data, to send that data to the cloud, to process the data, and then to present the results to users.
Available immediately in the CloudGate Universe application store, Option provides Luvit-RED at no cost to CloudGate customers. Luvit-RED was developed in-house by Option using elements of the popular Node-RED user interface, and refined to make the most of the Option CloudGate device and ecosystem. With Luvit-RED, development processes that used to take days, weeks and months – even before testing and review – now take only minutes or hours. The time savings, when combined with the need for only minimal programming and technical skill, mean that companies designing M2M applications can focus on innovation and delivering value, rather than technical concerns.
“Luvit-RED increases the value of the CloudGate solution to all parties in the ecosystem, by addressing a key business issue when creating M2M applications,” commented Option CEO Frank Deschuytere. “Which is that applications can be time-intensive and costly to design, prototype and test before deployment – which leads to longer time to a solution and can make sales cycles longer, especially for the system integrator or reseller community. By releasing Luvit-RED, Option is facilitating new opportunities in the M2M and IoT spaces, because there will be far less risk in developing new and creative application ideas.”
