Fujitsu has completed its support capability in the Australia-New Zealand region for its Edgeware management platform to leverage the proliferation of Internet-connected devices.
Fujitsu this week announced the market readiness of what it says is its "game changing" Internet of Things (IoT) Edgeware management platform for the ANZ region.
Edgeware provides the link between automated identification technology and enterprise applications and Fujitsu says it is particularly suited for organisations in sectors such as Public Safety (Police, Firefighting and Emergency Services), Distribution & Freight (ports, postal services),environmental monitoring of sensitive cargo such as chemicals and explosives, cold storage transport and food distribution, public utilities, IT Asset Management, mining and oil & gas, healthcare and manufacturing.
Mike Foster, Chief Executive Officer of Fujitsu Australia and New Zealand, said that with the completion of training for its local team of expert architects, developers and industry consultants, a successful Proof of Concept with a Defence sector pilot customer, plus the experience of more than 50+ successful worldwide deployments, Fujitsu is now introducing its "game-changing Edgeware platform to the ANZ region."

This is for organisations in highly disruptive or competitive markets that are looking to the latest in technological advances to add differentiated value to their operations.”
Fujitsu positions Edgeware as a robust, proven middleware platform that is agnostic to devices, sensors and IT enterprise systems, comprising a software development kit, workflow components and tools, including a visual emulator for rapid applications development and deployment. Edgeware provides high impact, rapid ROI and short-term payback for organisations in operational areas, particularly those in highly regulated industries or with complex supply chains.
Edgeware is the critical layer for connecting the world of sensors, assets, devices, networks and enterprise systems. The automation of ‘edge’ processes turns real-time events and raw data into meaningful and valuable information to assist in complex decision making.
Fujitsu says the platform provides the ability to scale quickly and easily, and companies can start with one user case, for example chain of custody or inventory tracking, and then when ready, deploy multiple user cases and then move to a full IoT platform with real-time analytic capability.
