Our ‘Internet of things’ centric Philosophy
Sensor-awareness is about combining people and the things they care about in a way that adds value: improves companies, improves services and even improves lives. Whether it’s a employee or an asset like a truck or trailer that needs to be easily located, we have created a service that connects people with important information from a growing number of sensor devices for a growing number of applications across the web.
Our History
In mid-2007, long-time technology entrepreneur Shailendra Jain (founder, CEO) and his colleagues noticed that the “where” trends, including geo-location and mapping were fast becoming integrated into everything that people were doing, from business and fitness to travel and photography. These trends were also moving away from solely traditional personal computing and web platforms to popular portable consumer devices such as phones, cameras, telematics sensors and other special-purpose machines. Beyond just geo-awareness, sensorial data from various devices were starting to be used by nearly everyone, everywhere.
Yet, they also noticed a critical inhibitor for sensor-use and geo-awareness: these solutions didn’t combine a range of sensor data and location intelligence in a way that added value to people and businesses. It was limited merely to simple location status without much context or meaning, and therefore failed to provide a meaningful location experience. Bridging this gap—combining the “who” with the “what” and moving towards a holistic, actionable sensor-data-awareness, including their location-awareness, became their impetus for founding Abaqus Inc.™
