By collecting and analysing data from refuse Containers across the world, Enevo is able to create efficiencies and cut the cost of waste collection and incentivise recycling. Enevo simplifies, de-risks and optimises the waste management process, helping to make a sustainable waste-free environment a more achievable proposition.

Created by the company Lucid Design Group in 2004, BuildingOS and earlier versions of the platform addressed the needs of energy, facility, and sustainability professionals to easily access critical data that was previously locked behind complicated systems. We believe (and still do!) that teams are most successful at reducing costs and improving building performance by leveraging technology to centralize data, automate processes, and identify savings opportunities through powerful data analytics. Today, BuildingOS continues to go beyond the meter using modern energy management best practices to some of the world's leading organizations to meet and exceed their energy and sustainability goals.

The problem of control in logistics is once clients' product leaves their warehouses they have no visibility into how their product is doing until it arrives at its destination. This lack of control, and the damage and loss clients incur, can only be offset with proper measurement. With data companies can reduce loss over time, but by using Smart Data they can optimize their quality control process and their standard operating procedures. Effectively and efficiently work with supply chain partners to identify, annotate and share an identified root cause to remove bad actors and prevent reoccurrence. The CargoSense system provides contextual validation of a product’s environmental status by recording a complete set of historical events regarding how, when, and where issues occurred. Share this across clients' teams to quickly identify and adjust their procedures the right way - the first time.

Enevo provides the first predictive end-to-end solution that automates the whole planning and operations of waste and recycling logistics. Its Enevo ONe solution combines IOT technology and real-time data and analytics, including trend data from fill-level sensors in waste Containers, for optimized planning and routing of collection services. A key component is a self-learning routing engine that adapts to day-to-day changes in demand and enables service providers to cut costs and improve customer service and satisfaction.

Harness the power of data to improve building operations BuildingOS? is the leading building energy management and analytics platform that uncovers savings and improves performance in the world's leading commercial building portfolios

With the increasing and explosive growth of interconnected devices, Device Management is no longer a requirement exclusive to Telecom Equipment Manufacturers. Devices from the core of the network all the way down to Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), IoT sensors, and everything in between inclusive of Routers, Switches, and Gateways, etc. must be manageable. Though their deep relationships with important third parties, Enea is working to ensure that organizations creating network infrastructure equipment have pre-integrated support for solutions that save time, development cost, and accelerate time to market.

Leverege provides an intelligent Internet of Things (IoT) platform that enables businesses, developers, and innovators to quickly develop and deliver IoT solutions. Despite the rapid rise in demand for IoT devices and services, the market is faced with a myriad of challenges. The market lacks standardized protocols, is plagued with disparate and conflicting device platforms, has insufficient infrastructure to process huge amounts of data, and finally is missing a complete understanding of the entire IoT framework. Leverege alleviates these issues by offering a comprehensive, integrated IoT ecosystem that empowers businesses to transform sensor data into valuable insights. The Leverege platform is specifically designed to give IoT creators the same advantages in agility and time-to-market as modern day software developers. Leverege--headquartered in Germantown Maryland, just outside of Washington DC--was founded in 2014 by successful technology entrepreneurs with deep experience in sensor networks and big data architectures. The mission-critical products built by the Leverege team are used daily by Fortune 500 companies and governments around the world, spanning various industries such as defense, aerospace, advertising, sports, and entertainment.

The most progressive manufacturers have started to integrate wireless solutions for industrial sensing and control systems. By switching from homegrown, wired M2M systems to wireless, these companies are able to anticipate failures, monitor sensors, cut costs, improve uptime, and more. From power plants, to oil refineries, to all types of manufacturing facilities, wireless Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are allowing plants to operate safer and more efficiently than ever before. Whether you’re implementing an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) system for a new facility or you’re interested in retrofitting a current system with wireless, the considerations are the same. You need to analyze wireless technologies like WiFi, cellular, or LPWAN protocols for tradeoffs like cost, security, range, performance, and battery life. With Symphony Link from Link Labs, a wireless network can be deployed to cover the entire facility from one gateway. That decreases the cost and security risk associated with WiFi or cellular. In addition, the battery life will last years rather than days.
