Industry-specific solutions
Zoho IoT offers customisable functionality alongside four industry-specific solutions:
- Industrial IoT: Enhances shop floor productivity, improves machine uptime, and reduces maintenance costs for high-value equipment
- Smart buildings: Provides a unified system for monitoring assets, tenants, energy consumption, and facilities
- Energy management: Empowers businesses to plan and manage energy consumption efficiently, offering complete control over energy data.
- Connected OEMs: Unlocks new revenue streams, boosts efficiency, and enables real-time insights and remote monitoring for smart products and OEMs
Additionally, Zoho IoT offers specialised solutions such as temperature monitoring, air quality tracking, vehicle tracking, solar monitoring, and water level or leakage detection.
“As a global leader in wastewater energy for sustainable heating and cooling, we needed to empirically demonstrate its real-world impact across multiple customer installations,” said Mike Tanyi, Director of Marketing and IT at SHARC Energy. “Zoho IoT provided an enterprise-grade,’single pane of glass’ that tracks energy and carbon savings, temperature, pressure, and flow rates, along with automated alerts. This has enabled us to showcase the value of wastewater energy to our stakeholders properly.”
