Flowfinity | September 21, 2021

Flowfinity's New Release Sets the Stage for IoT Device Support, Bringing Business Process Automation to Another Level
Flowfinity Wireless Inc., a leading no-code platform for business application development and workflow automation, today released Flowfinity 21.2 featuring support for Internet of Things (IoT) devices to augment human workflows and bring business process automation to another level.

This important update empowers organizations to deploy IoT devices at the edge of their physical infrastructure, connecting assets directly to Flowfinity servers and software robots. Now any business can achieve 24/7 asset monitoring and process automation in addition to people-driven data collection, including authorizing controllers to take actions driven by Flowfinity workflows configured and overseen by human operators.

By updating to Flowfinity 21.2, users will have the ability to securely collect data from a wide variety of sensors and inputs without human intervention, unlocking the power of machine data to drive automated workflows and populate dashboards for real-time monitoring and analysis.

When combined with reliable system integration options and flexible on-demand access tokens allowing external users to participate in workflows, Flowfinity is becoming the platform of choice for forward-thinking firms needing accurate data collection, 24/7 asset monitoring and streamlined process management.  

"This is a big step for the Flowfinity platform as we enter a new era where we can augment the traditional people, processes and technology framework with IoT capability to automate data collection and asset monitoring," said Larry Wilson, VP Sales & Marketing, Flowfinity.

"We started out 20 years ago by enabling people-driven data collection on mobile devices. Then we evolved to enabling automation and mobilization of B2E workflows. Now we are enabling those workflows to encompass IoT devices that allow the deployment of edge computing solutions to extract even greater value from business process automation."

Other capabilities introduced in the Flowfinity 21.2 update included the ability to send SMS notifications as part of your workflows to mobile phones globally using either the Twilio or Plivo gateways, and various UI and security enhancements.

Anacle's Tesseract Selected by the EMA to Develop and Testbed NB-IoT-enabled Advanced Electricity Meters

Anacle Systems Limited, Energy Market Authority | April 23, 2021

SINGAPORE, Apr 21, 2021 - (ACN Newswire) - Anacle Systems Limited ("Anacle") has been selected by the Singapore Energy Market Authority ("EMA") to develop and testbed Narrowband Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT) enabled advanced electricity meters. The future meters will be based on Anacle's leading edge Tesseract® series of hyper-smart meters. This initiative is a collaboration between the EMA, Smart Nation and Digital Government Group (SNDGG) and utilities provider SP Group. The testbed will eventually be rolled out across 1.4 million consumer accounts (mainly households) in Singapore by 2024, as part of the national drive towards digitalization and greater efficiency. Launched in 2017, the Tesseract® opens up a world of possibilities. An end product of many years of rigorous research and development, the Tesseract® is currently the world's most powerful edge device for electricity monitoring and analysis. It has more than 40 times more computing power than the next nearest device, FeRAM-based persistent memory that is more than 6 million times more durable than traditional EEPROM-based memory, 10GB in-device storage, built-in digital signal processing and data encryption capabilities, as well as supporting both Linux and Android operating systems, opening up infinite possibilities for applications. "This is a huge step towards Singapore's sustainability goal as more businesses and households are now able to take charge of their own energy use. By providing consumers with detailed analysis of their energy consumption patterns, they will be able to save energy more effectively and contribute to the national sustainability efforts," said Mr Alex Lau, CEO of Anacle Systems Limited. The Tesseract® hyper-smart meter is familiar to many, especially to the residents of Teck Ghee, Ang Mo Kio. In late 2019, the Tesseract® was installed at 1,450 household units as part of the Housing Development Board (HDB)'s Smart Green Homes Initiative program. Besides receiving the Tesseract® hyper-smart meter, residents were equipped with a smart home mobile application and three smart plugs, with which they can use to monitor their household consumption and remotely turn on and off the smart plugs. With the limitless capabilities of the Tesseract®, businesses and households in Singapore can look forward to reap greater benefits from the consumption data that they obtain. The Tesseract® hyper-smart meter will continue to empower and bring about greater energy efficiency to the Singapore nation. About the Energy Market Authority The Energy Market Authority (EMA) is a statutory board under the Ministry of Trade and Industry. The main goals of EMA are to ensure a reliable and secure energy supply, promote effective competition in the energy market and develop a dynamic energy sector in Singapore.
