IMS|evolve is a specialist in machine integration, taking data from all types of machines and providing context that unlocks its value. The software that performs this task can be installed on suitable existing devices or by deploying the IMS|evolve .mbed appliance.
IMS|evolve is agnostic about machine and device controllers and interfaces, preferring instead to sit above them, providing an alternative management layer with a low cost of ownership and singular point of control. This position in the value chain allows IMS|evolve to measure and benchmark the success of devices and services throughout the estate with no reliance on either revenue stream. This also allows IMS|evolve to apply its toolsets and energies equally to legacy infrastructure as well as facilitating new investments in efficient equipment.
The IMS|evolve software interprets the data from the machine and translates it into a standard language, enriching it from other data sources and applications to transform it into actionable events for your business. The compression capabilities of the software mean that the data can be transferred over existing communications infrastructure and networks - saving networking and communications costs. Once the event data has been captured it becomes part of the IMS|evolve standard data layer enabling it to be served to any number of platforms, devices or associated systems.
