by Brianna Crandall — July 15, 2016 — EnTouch Controls, provider of facility asset and energy intelligence, recently announced the expansion of the company’s Internet of Things (IoT) product line based on Intel technology that will allow multi-site companies to use the EnTouch analytics and remote management platform to support legacy facilities with existing open standard control and sensor infrastructure.
Jon Bolen, chief operating officer (COO) for EnTouch, pointed out:
Today, our EnTouch 360 full suite of applications and services support over 4,000 sites for some of the country’s largest restaurateurs, retailers and commercial multi-site operators. With the introduction of our family of enterprise and facility-class gateways, our valued customers can now leverage prior investments in existing legacy equipment while experiencing the full benefit of EnTouch’s remote monitoring and rich analytic capabilities.
The EnTouch family of products will use Intel IoT products and technology in two primary Gateway solutions: first, an Enterprise Class Gateway, designed for a centralized, wide-area takeover of existing Internet protocol (IP)-based infrastructure; and second, a simpler, more cost-effective, Facilities Class Gateway that will facilitate the connectivity to the cloud and physical layer requirements of legacy localized controls.
Greg Fasullo, chief executive officer (CEO) for EnTouch, stated:
EnTouch pioneered energy management as a service by leveraging our own, best-in-class, patented controls technology with our rich feature set. These new solutions will further expand our value proposition to multi-site operators who are hungry for the rich experience EnTouch platform delivers without investing significant new capital to replace existing legacy infrastructure.
EnTouch’s COO Jon Bolen presented the new Intel-based IoT suite of gateway solutions at IBCon 2016 in June.
