Nanotron / ClearBlade
Nanotron Technologies and ClearBlade have announced a partnership to add ClearBlade’s IoT and Edge Computing platform to Nanotron’s advanced tracking software. This cooperation will enable Nanotron to offer advanced LDA capabilities. Therefore, the partnership will add a whole new dimension of capabilities to its tracking technology platform.
Nanotron creates insights into complex business processes by applying a flexible, scalable, and location technology-independent approach.
Therefore, such approach generates consistent position information connected to application-specific reference data.
ClearBlade’s platform provides flexibility while handling all maintenance and security functions. It leaves Nanotron to focus on its core competency: Location Data Analytics. This creates a powerful yet easy-to-use LDA solution.
The software
The ClearBlade platform will become a standard part of nanotron’s location awareness and LDA solutions. By providing a combination of IoT Edge and IoT Cloud platforms, ClearBlade’s software will enable customers to roll out large projects in multiple locations worldwide.
Nanotron’s CTO, Rainer Hach, said: “We undertook a rigorous and methodical search for a middleware partner. We sought a leading-edge vendor in order to support real-time processing, modularity, complete security, edge/cloud, remote provisioning, extensive databases, and provide tight integration with our software platform.
“ClearBlade was far and away the only vendor that fulfilled all of our strict criteria, and we are truly delighted to be able to work with the market leader in this field. Event-based analytics will reap the business benefits of location awareness. By working with ClearBlade, nanotron is getting ready to deliver a powerful LDA tool.”
Aaron Allsbrook, CTO at ClearBlade, said: “Nanotron is a dominant player in location awareness, and ClearBlade’s platform will enable nanotron to offer market-leading LDA solutions. Thus, we expect this to be a successful long term relationship that will benefit both our companies and our customers.”
Initially, the ClearBlade platform is being used by nanotron to showcase ultra-precise patient tracking across multiple operating wards in hospitals. The solution is based on Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) and Ultra-WideBand (UWB) location technologies. It utilises additional information from sensors and underlies building maps. It automatically detects all pre-defined treatment events, displays them in real time, and logs them for analysis in a database.
