1. Interface customization
Each use case has its own priorities. Choosing an IoT platform with a customizable interface (graphs, filters, maps, weather data, etc.) can make managing your IoT fleet more enjoyable and convenient. On the GetWay platform, several widgets are available to allow you to personalize your homepage. For example, you can choose to display the status of your M2M lines, weather information, and your energy consumption.
At Objenious, we are constantly evolving our GetWay IoT platform. By listening to our customers and the specific needs of the cellular IoT market, we develop increasingly tailored features. Our platform allows you to manage your fleet independently, thanks to a customizable interface with various widgets. Everything is designed to enable you to efficiently manage your IoT assets. For example, our Objenious experts developed the “Network Weather” tool, which provides real-time network status information.
Another useful widget is the M2M Coach, which saves valuable time and offers analyses to help you make decisions. This is a helpful tool for users who aren’t telecom experts.

2. Access to historical data
While most IoT platforms today allow for real-time data collection, not all retain this information long-term. However, for a company, having access to a long-term historical record is a significant advantage. Indeed, data collected over time makes it possible to identify past incidents and “replay” them to understand their cause. In the event of a machine malfunction, technicians can compare its unusual behavior with its normal behavior (before it malfunctioned).
But that’s not all: historical data is invaluable for building predictive models, particularly for predictive maintenance. Planning to leverage your data intelligently? You can improve your operational efficiency by anticipating production peaks, for example. Access to historical data facilitates decision-making, as decision-makers can rely on KPIs developed over long periods.
Finally, in certain sectors such as agri-food or health, access to historical data facilitates audits and even makes it possible to prove that certain norms or standards have been respected.
On the GetWay platform, for example, you can easily find the monitoring histories of a line, a set of lines, or the entire fleet.
3. Provisioning of IoT devices
Deploying an IoT device involves more than simply turning it on and authenticating it. Several steps are required, from registering on the IoT platform to configuring it, including authentication and connection. While this is a crucial step in deploying IoT devices, manually activating them on a large scale can be extremely time-consuming. To simplify provisioning, a centralized IoT platform is essential.
With this type of platform, you can provision, activate, manage, and monitor devices from a single interface. Rather than managing each device manually, you can issue commands from the dashboard. On the GetWay platform, for example, you can add a voice service in bulk, to part or all of your devices, simply from the portal.
4. Initial processing of raw data
Some companies have to manage enormous volumes of data daily from thousands of IoT devices. A platform that simply allows data visualization isn’t enough: ideally, it should offer initial processing to filter out information that doesn’t add value. On Objenious’ IoT platform, raw data collected in real time on the network is converted into actionable insights. These insights are presented as numerical values and graphs.
To simplify your data management, we offer a Data Management service. This includes facilitating data collection, configuring sensors, initial data processing, and enrichment according to your specific needs. This saves you valuable time, as you receive relevant, ready-to-use information dire
5. Programming alerts
An IoT platform collects data from IoT sensors in real time. This immediacy offers a significant advantage: the ability to be notified immediately when a critical event is detected. Your IoT platform should allow you to schedule configurable alerts (SMS, email, mobile app, etc.). If a critical threshold is exceeded, a notification is sent. For example: a temperature above 70°C, or a CO2 level exceeding a set threshold. Or to be notified in the event of excessive incoming and/or outgoing data consumption, or in the event of a change of zone
Depending on the alert sent, you can also schedule an automatic action such as shutting down the device, switching to a backup mode, activating the air conditioning, or sending a maintenance ticket. This type of real-time alert protects against immediate incidents.
To take things a step further, the GetWay IoT platform offers the activation of preventative alarms. The goal: to anticipate problems before they occur. Based on collected data (real-time and historical), it anticipates abnormal behavior, performs self-diagnostics, and provides recommendations. For example, an increase in a machine’s vibration level over the past week suggests a risk of failure. This valuable feature not only reduces risks but also costs and downtime.
