IGear Makes Rubber Meet the Data at AutoVision

This year’s AutoVision 2016 conference and expo aimed to provide a glimpse into the future of the automotive industry, took place in September. The attendees who were present were treated to a new type of solution platform from thirty-year old, Louisville, Kentucky-based IGear.

This company has created its SQUEAKS solution, a mobile-first industrial IoT messaging app that purports to facilitate quicker, better decision-making and closed-loop collaboration, where machines and humans message one another. The solution helps tame the Internet of Things, the company said, and put automakers in the Digital Driver's Seat, allowing them to be in control and tuned into the connected factory. SQUEAKS is already installed at multiple beta sites across the country.

“As the automotive industry faces the greatest period of disruption in its history, automotive manufacturers must put in place the right information frameworks to leverage the Internet of Things for improved decision making and operational performance,” said Don Korfhage, president and CEO, IGear.

At AutoVision 2016, IGear showed attendees a preview of its new platform, which is presently available to automakers for sale.

SQUEAKS offers users the data from disparate sources at varying speeds, resolutions and formats. The data is consolidated and processed through a Complex Event Processing (CEP) engine, which allows employees to direct selected messages to the?right people, instilling ownership. SQUEAKS assists in the company in uncovering meaningful and useful information at real-time speeds, driving real-time results. Using this app, employees are able to respond quickly to broaden the understanding of an event root cause, which can provide clarity by sharing knowledge and expertise, which can validate ownership and closure, with timestamps.

The inventors of SQUEAKS at IGear have striven to create the best IoT framework possible so that automotive manufacturers can get the intelligence necessary to take to the road.
