IIoT & White Labelling

Why IIoT?

GE Research data has indicated that 46% of the economy could benefit from IIoT. Companies that use IIoT successfully reduce inefficiencies/errors by using sensor data to make smarter/informed decisions. IIoT tells machine operators about unusual trends that potentially indicate failing parts or other issues requiring maintenance. Having that knowledge prevents shutdowns or make them less costly.

IIoT will allow you to get secure access to machines you manufactured while they operate at your clients’ sites. IMBU specializes in IIoT by transforming raw data into immediately actionable information. IMBU allows you to have remote secure access, cloud based data logging, data trending, machine specific dashboards, web-based access and many more IIoT features such as receiving email and other alarms. IMBU also offers semi-online solutions where operators/mechanics interface with an analytics node using their phone and a dedicated app.

What is white label IIoT?

White label IIoT allows you to sell a digital product created by IMBU under your brand name. This enables you to add to your current offering without spending time developing the product/service yourself.

White label value proposition

Traditionally white label involves charging more for your white labelled services or products than what you are paying your white label supplier. It is a faster solution, it saves time and money because you can take advantage of someone else’s accumulated expertise. IIoT is however a money maker in many more ways. While IIoT can be charged for and create a direct return, it will, in addition, spin off knowledge of your machines as used by the customer enriching your understanding of your own product, it transforms you from A.N.Other supplier to a partner through your increased knowledge of machines in their working environment, it enhances your brand through increased reliability and much more.

Why IMBU?

IMBU’s founders background is both in IT (with a focus on controls) and Industrial after market services. The latter entails the sale and service of turbines, gas engines, gas compressors, controls, ignition, filtration, etc… (sold to US investors in 2020 – see www.quorex.ch and www.msikaz.com). Some 10 years ago, IMBU realised that to arrive at good and practical systems, one needs to straddle and understand both the industrial mechanical world and the IT world. This understanding is at the origin of IMBU’s IIoT activity today (see www.imbu.nl).

Why outsource your IIoT project?

Building an IIoT platform to your requirements means starting from scratch, spending time and money and reaching an uncertain result in an uncertain time. Main reasons for this are (1) it is not your field, (2) you will move slowly (initially) in a fast moving area, (3) you may re-invent existing available solutions, (4) you will not match resources and expertise of existing specialists that are focused in this area.

Some advantages of white label IIoT
