rvine, California-based NetObjex
provides enterprises and
technology companies with
the most comprehensive IoT-
Blockchain platform. NetObjex was
founded by an eclectic group of
individuals from multiple disciplines
including software and hardware
engineering, product management,
sales, and marketing.
NetObjex has teams in the US,
Thane, India and Hanoi, Vietnam.
NetObjex provides a comprehensive
end-to-end set of platforms for
implementing IoT-Blockchain
solutions and helps bridge the gap
of connecting the physical world to
the virtual world.
NetObjex focuses on four markets:
Manufacturing, Supply Chain,
Automotive, and Smart City.
Though there are overlaps amongthem, “we use IoT & Blockchain
for digital asset tracking, tracing,
performance, utilisation and
efficiency. Digital assets vary from
industry to industry. For example,
for a logistics company with a fleet
of trucks, the trucks will be the
asset. For a supply chain company
with goods in the warehouse, the
goods would qualify as assets.
So for every physical asset in the
real world there will be a digital
equivalent which is otherwise
called as digital twin. The digital
manifestation of the physical asset
enables us to monitor this asset
more closely,” Raghu Bala, CEO,
NetObjex, told AutoParts Asia.Linking The World Of
IoT To BlockChain
Our platform is IoT first, with data
is acquired from different sources.Data is then transmitted through
communication pipes such as
3G, 4G, LTE, Wi-Fi, LoRA, Sigfox,
etc, to the cloud, where decision
processing takes place. During
the analysis of the data, the
platform can utilise AI and Machine
learning, identify patterns and make
necessary changes in processes
to realise effective operations.
This technology can be applied to
various industries such as health
care, water distribution in smart
cities, hotels and hospitality sector,
and much more.
Blockchain, the second part of the
platform, is used in order to have
certified, immutable, tamper-proof
data storage, he said. Blockchain
is cryptographically secure. It is
also decentralised as no one entity
owns the data. “It is in a third place
where both of us can see the data atIoT - Blockchain
