ASIG IoT Button
The ASIG IoT Button replaces manual ordering: a cellular connection, an e-ink display, simple operation and an architecture that extends to other industries.
Ordering at the push of a button
Initial situation & goals
The ASIG IoT Button automates reordering in industrial settings. One press on the device triggers the order.
The problem
Challenges
Manual processes
Ordering took time and was prone to errors.
