NetCORE has launched an Internet of Things (IoT) platform for real time data capturing and analysis called Cloud4One. The service offers a generic microcontroller platform that integrates with sensors, which then captures data in real time for data analysis. Note that the Indian Government has recently drafted an IoT policy for the country, with a goal of creating an IoT industry in the country worth $15 billion by 2020. The agency had also announced its plans to set up a Rs 10,000 crore innovation and development fund for the electronics and IT sectors, earlier this month. It's early days for IoT in India, with Cisco, Vodafone, Tech Mahindra, among others, looking at the segment. What we're curious about is where there is enough market demand and spectrum to support bringing more machines online. What Cloud4One does A presentation up on Netcore's website lists Amul, Surya, ACC limited and Dorma as its clients. The company mentions that it optimizes route planning for Amul using its VTS platform (probably, Vehicle Tracking System), while ACC uses its app framework for sales force management. We haven't heard back on Netcore on more details of what all they're doing for clients, the response from the market, and interoperability, among other things. According to the presentation, Cloud4One essentially adds sensors to measure location, temperature, pressure, humidity, weight etc., on movable assets like trucks, cranes etc., and immovable ones like ATMs, generators, grids etc. This data is then relayed to its servers for analysis, providing solutions for…
