Infoteria to Release "Platio," Non-coding Development Platform for IoT Business AppsTOKYO, Oct. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- - Japan's Top EAI Company Ventures into IoT Software Industry to Realize Greater Efficiency in Field Work through IoT Applications - Software technology company Infoteria Corporation is to release "Platio" (https://plat.io/en/home), a non-programming rapid app development platform to be available early next year. In addition to being able to create business apps, Platio, Infoteria's first step into Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, will support field work operations through the utilization of IoT device applications. Demand for rapid IoT app development "Business applications for IoT devices require mobile-type apps matching each domain of business. Because IoT applications often bring serious changes to work processes, gradual yet quick app development through consultation with field workers is critical," says Munekazu Matsumura, Marketing Director for IoT/Mobile Services at Infoteria. Matsumura explains, "The development of IoT applications taking interactions between developers and field workers into account has proven to be difficult because of the need for various other processes including app development, app distribution and cloud system preparation to save field data and authenticate information. At Infoteria, we're overcoming these challenges by removing barriers not only for developers but also non-technical skilled individuals, giving them more flexibility so they are able to maximize creativity." "Platio streamlines the app development process. Users can create apps by selecting and customizing the readily available templates. Along with the selection of templates, data storage in the cloud and user management functions are automatically prepared, relieving the developers from the burden of having to prepare servers for data storage. Deployment of apps is also easy with distributionand updates of apps made possible through a single click," adds Matsumura. Since IoT is still in its formative years, companies have a distinct early adopter advantage. Most of current IoT apps are focusing on a single IoT device, and they lack the ability to link different IoT devices together. Platio allows businesses to address this issue. Overview of Platio There are three main solutions Platio delivers to businesses: 1. Reducing the burden of software development - With Platio, IoT device manufacturers no longer have to worry about end-user software and app development. With a simple Select-Customize-Deploy operation, manufacturers can create customized apps for their devices in a matter of minutes. Without the need for any coding knowledge, manufacturers can connect and test their devices immediately. 2. Flexibility to connect to various IoT devices - With Platio, users can create customized apps by selecting and editing fields of existing templates. A single customized Platio app can connect not only to healthcare devices (such as thermometers and blood pressure monitors), but also to equipment with air pressure and humidity sensors. With the increased flexibility to connect to a range of IoT devices, businesses can brainstorm and realize ways to streamline their business operations. 3. Relieving users from management costs In short, Platio streamlines the app development process, from developing to deploying apps for IoT devices -- all without the need for any coding knowledge.
