At every phase of time, one modern technology joins the realm of technology. As a result, that modern tech inhibits a few other technologies while simultaneously growing alongside this new technology. It is similar to the Metaverse, IoT technology and 5G.

Metaverse :

Metaverse is a popular and highly imaginative innovative technology. It is a fictious version of today’s internet. And it continues to exist as a monolithic, multilateral, immersive online realm enabled by the use of virtual and augmented reality. Metaverse’s current data and statistics serve as a foundation for forecasting its growth. It is estimated that Metaverse will be worth nearly $800 billion worldwide by 2024, up from nearly $478 billion today. It is only plausible owing to the advancement of the internet during the year 2020. The Metaverse is a global concept in which anyone can generate their own virtual avatar. Universal hero Kamal Haasan is the first and probably most important Tamilnadu resident to create a digital avatar and link it to Metaverse. Thereby, he has joined an illustrious list of Indian celebrities, including Amitabh Bachchan, Sunny Leone, Salman Khan, and an Indian fashion designer named Manish Malhotra.

IoT :

Any physical object can be integrated with sensors, processing power, and software using the Internet of Things (IoT). It is a technology with the ability to connect to other devices and systems over the internet or other communication networks and exchange data with them.

5G :

Wireless communication is now possible due to 5G technology. There are almost no restrictions on it. The world has become truly wireless as a result of this technology. Information is transmitted at an astoundingly fast rate. The advancement of technology is made possible by the presence of high connectivity and clarity in both audio and video. All wearable devices are compatible with this. With this technology, multiple concurrent data transfer paths are supported. This 5G technology has sparked a significant revolution in driver-less cars, the Internet of Things, and the Metaverse. The download speed of 5G is approximately 100 times greater than that of 4G’s speed and it’s the exact level of performance that is needed for the inter-connected society. Latency is the biggest difference between 4G and 5G. 5G is far better than 4G in all aspects like bandwidth, average speed, etc. The average speed of 5G is nearly 10 times greater than that of 4G which has the average speed of 25 mbps. The bandwidth of 4G is 200mbps whereas that of 5G is greater than 1gbps.

Everything coming together :

The combination of Metaverse, IoT and 5G data will have a huge impact in the upcoming decade. These three technologies are interrelated either directly or indirectly. These three technologies are waiting to make miracles happen in the future. We’ll gain a higher level of experience by using these technologies than the experience we gain by using today’s technology. Solutions to many problems can be attained through these technologies. It is anticipated that these technologies will surely bring about several changes in various fields.

Despite being a fully functional virtual environment, Metaverse cannot function alone. Only tangible objects can be used to view the virtual environment. Furthermore, the most fundamental item is an internet connection. Dependent upon Live Users’ experiences, connectivity must be constant. Data communication is dependable with 5G technology. Metaverse can offer high-quality audio and video since it also has low latency to provide a positive customer experience. This will be possible due to 5G technologies. Take the meal delivery app as an illustration, which utilises map technology. Likewise, the Metaverse virtual environment depends on 5G for ongoing user interconnectivity and IoT for connected physical objects.

Benefits :

• Remote work challenges are addressed
• Great technology for healthcare professionals
• Making online games further exciting
• Experience of virtual tools can be attained
• Better social interactions
• New dimesion of social media
• Mesmerizing user experience
• Enhancements in online learning  and education
• Profit-makings from outcomes

 

Today I am happy to share that we have clocked our 50th Business customer @ Bevywise Networks. It was indeed a great journey bootstrapping with a great team that has taken us where we are today.

The Early Days

We started building the products over MQTT.  Our initial aim was to build an IoT Simulation toolkit. We had an initial version of the product around the end of 2016. However, we were not able to create more value with that product at that point in time. We believed building a Central MQTT Broker would add more value to the overall ecosystem. One of the things that all the MQTT Brokers lacked at that time and even today is the extended ability options on storage. We quickly added the MQTTRoute and the multi-tenant-based IoT Platform by mid-2017.

The First Customer

We have been supporting a prospect for more than 4 months in the second half of 2017 as we do for most of the leads we generate till now.  Around the end of the 5th month, he shared his wish to pay for a product.  Then we finalized the price for the IoT Platform and then we clocked our first deal. At that point in time, the platform was halfway through its development and we had not even finalized the price for the product. We had our first 1000 devices IoT Platform deal from North America in November 2017.  

Failures all Along

From the early days, we have been trying to build hardware for home automation. We had a perfect prototype and concept building. But had to discontinue due to the funds.  However, we have been trying to build some hardware during the earlier days which all went in vain. Not only on the hardware part, but we also had to shelve some of the software products as well.  During the early days, we had been working with a few corporates building prototypes and complete products which I believe will be part of most starts up with the greater ambition.

Association with DERBI

During mid-2018, I was introduced to Mr. Natarajan, our advisor as part of the association with the DERBI incubation program. The association was beneficial and we started exploring a few verticals to work on. We had a strong belief that the Frameworks will have their own share of the pie for Bevywise and at the same time, we should be able to create value for one of the verticals. This is to ensure that we validate our Platform and at the same time, we had a complete end-to-end solution. We finalized to take up Manufacturing as the next domain. In the meantime, we tried building some tools/software for the Pharma and biotech over the IoT and even tried providing some demos at a couple of meetups.

World’s leading MQTT Broker

In one of the independent analysis done by the University of Szeged, Hungary, MQTTRoute was one of the top MQTT Brokers in terms of performance and the memory footprint when compared with all the leading MQTT offerings across the world.

Spanning out

During early 2019, we partnered with an edge data acquisition device company and started working on building products for smart manufacturing to enhance the OEE / Productivity of the shop floor. The initial version of the OEE Monitoring application was built over MQTTRoute and the later version for the enterprise Manufacturing execution system ( MES ) was built over the IoT Platform. Today we have a complete ready-to-use MES to monitor productivity across multiple departments for any enterprise manufacturing company and have successfully connected 300 + machines to our Platform.  We have a few surprises coming in the Manufacturing domain later this year.

Way to Go

With every product, it became a norm that we fail a couple of times before we get it right.  The same happened with our CyrstalMQ hosted cloud MQTT Broker offering. We successfully moved our framework offering to the cloud earlier this year. We are working on enhancing the experience and at the same time moving our Smart manufacturing offering to the cloud as well going forward.

Gratitude

It was a wonderful journey creating and executing the B2B business. Have learned a lot on the business side over the years and yet a lot to learn going forward.  I feel grateful to my family, friends, and customers.

Happy to look backward and see that we have built all these from the Tier II city of Tirunelveli, down south of Tamil Nadu. None of these milestones would have been possible without the great team. I am eternally grateful to all of our employees who have added their value all along our journey to bring us to the milestone we are today.

“This is a new year. A new beginning. And things will change.” ―Taylor Swift

The New Year is here and celebrations are pouring everywhere every minute. The dawn of each year carries a lot of positivity, good energy, and good vibes. With the same positivity and energy let us welcome 2022 with a bang and hope new year 2022 will be more eventful and brings normalcy in life and business. Bevywise had a busy 2021 in developing Industry 4.0 manufacturing solutions. A little recap on 2021 and how was our journey in becoming a Industry 4.0 solution provider. Let’s get rolling.

Recap 2021

Like 2020, the year 2021 was also dominated by COVID-19. Almost 2 years into a pandemic, people everywhere came unstuck to summon the energy for facing financial crisis. Well, in point of fact we’ve made it through year two of the pandemic and, considering everything, that’s no mean feat.  Leading through, the pandemic has been hard, exhausting, and sometimes terribly sad.

Moreover on the business side, we at Bevywise working hard to capitalize more effectively on the opportunities rising in the post covid19 recovery. This will not happen without a great team. Our customers have been the most impressive synergy which has helped us grow multi-fold. Thanks for showing your interest in our products and services. A special thanks to our partners, who believed and taken us to the next level with their huge commitment and active contribution.

A heartfelt thanks to our family and friends for their great support towards us that helped us to achieve great things.

2021 : A Year in Review

Though covid 19 is still at strike, 2021 has been a good and promising year for us.

Here’s a look at what we were up to in 2021.

One of the biggest achievement for us in 2021 is that we stepped in as Industry 4.0 solution provider. We have expanded our market with our new launch of Industry 4.0 solutions. With the global market demand ravaged by the covid 19 pandemic, digitization across industries is accelerating rapidly.  This factor uplifts the demand for integrating Industry 4.0 solutions in manufacturing operations. This made our self boldly step in as Industry 4.0 solution provider.

In June 2021, we made our initial version release of Factovize MES (Manufacturing Execution System) to help manufacturers in their production goals with the high level capability of collecting, visualizing & transmitting data across the manufacturing processes. The first implementation of MES is in progress for one of our customers in Bangalore. So far, Core MES is proving its capability on a positive note. And now we are working more on improving the features & functionalities on MES based on our customer requirements.

Also, In September 2021, as a part of Industry 4.0 solution, we have launched first version of WIP Manager, a fully digitized manufacturing WIP management tool. The high level development of this product is going on in a rapid phase and we are expecting to get our first customer for WIP manager soon.

The next big launch of the year 2021 is our completely managed hosted MQTT Broker, CrystalMQ. After months of hard work we released CrystalMQ in the month of October. Though using MQTT Broker on premise is not at all a bad choice, hosted solution is the best one for businesses who expects no-expertise needed approach in server management.

Along with such major releases, we had a good number of feature updates in IoT frameworks as well. This is just a short list of everything Bevywise was up to in 2021. 2021 marked Bevywise as the Industry 4.0 vendor as we made our footprint in Industry 4.0.

Hope for better 2022

After a dejecting year, intermittent between lockdowns and new outbreaks, we have to keep faith that life will ultimately get down to some semblance of normality. And now, as we turnover the page toward new year 2022, the truth is that it won’t be without its challenges & struggles, still, it’s necessary to stop and smell the coffee and truly examine all the things that serves us. While 2020 was all about keeping our head above water and 2021 was about getting stable to the new norm, new year 2022 is about nourishing our roots and possibly coming up with a game plan for the successful journey.

We are ending this year with many successes and we will work hard to continue this with better services and greater commitments, to achieve new goals. We are now ready to write new success stories for the upcoming year.

Here’s wishing you all the joy of the season. Happy New Year!

Integrated IoT Application

Business today has a lot to be managed better.  Everything in an organization is related.  The power and other utilities consumption, employee availability and productivity, manufacturing process management and its utilization, predictive maintenance of the machines, Inward / Outward of materials, etc are today managed as Silos.  It does not make sense to digitize everything and still use them as siloed applications. It is crucial to bring everything into one application. The benefits of using it as one application from the management perspective are:

• Have a better access control to various modules.
• Deploy everything on one server and manage it better.
• Employees need to remember a single identity.

Co related Data Analysis

The world is filled with data and the data needs to be analyzed at width and depth.  Data Analysis cannot be done when businesses uses multiple applications and the data is stored in Silos, in spite of all the digital transformation. Closer correlation of data is crucial to create compelling decisions.

For example, when the machine / department productivity and the energy consumed per machine is mandatory to be managed in a single application which can help use do some detailed analysis like power consumed per part produced and the reverse against the variance of days and the batches.  This deeper analysis becomes more cumbersome when the data is stored in silos.

Cloud Servers are more reliable

We have been running our cloud servers on AWS, Google, and Digital Ocean for the past 5 years and we have not even seen any downtime or server crashes. Cloud hosting has come a long way that it has become more reliable, secure, flexible and much more affordable.  Running an integrated application based on the business requirement is going to be much easier going forward. After setting up, we may just need to maintain the applications.  The applications again can be maintained easily with tools like docker, mmonit, Kubernetes and more.

Affordable Implementation

Industry4.0 is synonymous with a lot of data being generated, processed, and used in critical decisions.  When you go for an on-demand service, most service providers charge by the data used over time. However, when you have private hosting, the data is unlimited. This will increase your data traffic and the number of events you record without any increase in the data cost.  You may need to slightly increase the server configuration which will be very marginal against the data cost.

Create Customized Solutions

When you go by your own instances, you will have the complete flexibility to create your own reports and analysis. Out of our implementation of the IoT, we see that the requirement changes largely from one plant to another within the organization. So with a lot of custom build processes and data, we need more specific solutions to deliver the best RoI for your business.

The MQTTRoute, the top MQTT Broker has all the powerful extendability options to create & develop complex IoT Applications. The extendable python MQTT interfaces/hooks provide user interface customization, data aggregation & analysis, event data comparison with the processed data, Remote authentication & more. The python interfaces include Custom UI server, Custom data store, Custom storage, Custom scheduler & Custom Auth. You can play with the python hooks by downloading the forever FREE version of MQTT Broker to build faster applications.
