HashMicro is based in Singapore and Indonesia, serving both markets extensively. Asteria Corporation’s product Gravio is an IoT and edge and cloud integration platform. It is designed for companies who want to build connectivity capabilities at the edge as well as in the cloud:
One of the key differentiators between Gravio and its IoT platform competitors is that Gravio can work at the edge as well as in the cloud. Being able to operate at the edge enables Gravio to connect to on-premise devices such as IoT sensors, camera systems for computer vision applications and other devices at the edge such as screens, printers, serial devices or even speakers. The combination of an edge and cloud computing platform is called “node computing”.
Gravio is designed in a modular fashion to easily plug into various industry-standard APIs which is why HashMicro has been using Gravio to build interfaces that bridge between their powerful ERP Software Suite and IoT, computer vision and scanning capabilities.
In the fast-paced environment of a production plant, real-time data is invaluable. By integrating HashMicro's manufacturing software with Gravio's connectivity platform, businesses can equip their production lines with advanced sensor technology. These sensors are capable of measuring distances and identifying objects, allowing for precise tracking of items being produced.
For instance, as items pass through the assembly line, distance sensors can determine their dimensions and, in conjunction with device identification, recognize the type of product. This data is then seamlessly fed into HashMicro’s manufacturing ERP, updating production counts and inventory in real-time. This integration ensures accurate production tracking and inventory management, essential for maintaining efficiency and meeting demand.
Retailers constantly seek insights into their customer base to tailor their marketing strategies effectively. By integrating CCTV systems with HashMicro's Point of Sale (POS) software through Gravio, retailers can harness valuable demographic data.
When customers check out, the integrated CCTV system utilizes image recognition to identify age and gender demographics, while ensuring privacy and data protection standards are upheld. This information is then collated within the HashMicro POS system, providing a rich dataset for analyzing customer segmentation. Retailers can use these insights to develop targeted promotion strategies, enhance customer experiences, and ultimately, drive sales.
Warehouse management requires a precise tracking system for inventory control. RFID technology, when integrated with Gravio's edge computing capabilities and HashMicro's warehouse management system, offers a solution that revolutionizes how inventory is tracked.
As items enter or leave the warehouse, RFID tags transmit data to Gravio's platform, which processes the information on-premise. This immediate processing allows for real-time updates to HashMicro’s ERP system, ensuring that inventory levels are always current. The integration facilitates a seamless flow of information, enabling more accurate forecasting, reducing the risk of stockouts or overstock, and improving overall warehouse efficiency.
HashMicro's partnership with Gravio's node computing platform is a strategic move that significantly amplifies the capabilities of their ERP solutions. Gravio's system acts as a data conduit, channeling real-time information from a network of devices and sensors directly into HashMicro's applications, thereby enabling them to offer advanced, real-time analytics and automation features. This integration equips HashMicro's diverse industry clients with the tools to make swift, informed decisions, enhancing operational efficiencies across manufacturing lines, retail customer insights, and inventory management. The flexibility of Gravio's platform ensures that HashMicro's software remains adaptable and future-ready, poised to incorporate the latest technological innovations and maintain a competitive edge in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
"Gravio's platform has been invaluable in elevating HashMicro's ERP solutions, providing our clients with additional real-time data insights," states Ricky Hamlin, HashMicro's CEO and founder. "This partnership is a cornerstone of our commitment to delivering future-ready, innovative business tools." Christoph Burgdorfer, MD of Asteria Singapore adds: “We’re very excited to see how Gravio can contribute to an already very impressive system and enrich its sensing and input-output capabilities.”
