Our brands
IT’S MY BIKE digital module IMB1 delivers a unique solution based on mobile network technology to secure e-bikes against theft. Simple, inexpensive, intelligent. The best solution there currently is. It comprises a built-in module in the e-bike, either fitted as standard or as a retrofit. Once the module is installed, the bike is transformed into an Internet of Things and users are connected with their bike at all times. In the future, the module will also provide other services such as an emergency alert in the event of an accident or instructions regarding service intervals.
This brand offers efficient, cost-saving solutions for building management to the real estate industry. Caretakers receive custom-edited data via a platform. The platform is based on the new LPWAN wireless network (NB-IoT) for the Internet of Things, which is extremely robust and reliable. A web-based user interface displays current variables such as temperature, moisture and door statuses, thus helping reduce times for inspection rounds and increase service quality.
