Can you briefly describe Ratio-Tec&#8217;s business?<\/h3>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>S.M. &#8220;Ratio-Tec is a small company specializing in the development of connected objects. We connect and develop innovative IoT solutions that digitize processes in retail and industry, making them more transparent and efficient.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An IoT solution to optimize processes<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">E.I. Can you explain your solution in simple terms?<\/h3>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>S.M. &#8220;We connect smart sensors and machines to our Bluetooth Mesh infrastructure, enabling our customers to improve their workflows and processes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">E.I. What problem does this solve for your customers?<\/h3>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>S.M. &#8220;We reduce search times, avoid losses and create total transparency on inventory and processes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Collaboration based on reliability and performance<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">E.I. Why did you choose ELA for your tracking solution?<\/h3>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>S.M. &#8220;ELA offers reliable, robust and energy-efficient sensors, perfect for use in demanding environments and in combination with our Bluetooth Mesh infrastructure, for sustainable solutions, for a good opportunity for customers who have had a system and a functional system for a long time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">E.I. How did the integration with our beacons go?<\/h3>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>S.M. &#8220;It was very easy, the beacons were quickly integrated and seamlessly connected to our Connect infrastructure. So we have a Bluetooth Mesh infrastructure, the ELA sensors work with BLE and yes, everything works together. We have all kinds of systems and integration is very easy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/elainnovation.com\/en\/bluetooth-beacon\/\">&gt;&gt;  Discover our Bluetooth beacon range  &lt;&lt;<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Concrete benefits<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">E.I. What advantages have you seen, both technically and operationally?<\/h3>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>S.M. On the technical side: long range and stable data quality. On the operational side: easy scalability, reduced manual work and measurable time savings. So yes, it&#8217;s really easy for us to implement in our systems and with our customers.  <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">E.I. Do you have an example of a customer&#8217;s use?<\/h3>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>S.M. &#8220;Many of our customers currently use temperature loggers so that we can trigger alarms via our infrastructure if goods become too hot or too cold, thus guaranteeing product safety in a verifiable way. So all we have to do is place the sensor in the freezer and plug our connected system into the electrical socket. I&#8217;d say it&#8217;s plug and play.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ratio-Tec&#8217;s advice to IoT integrators<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">E.I. What advice would you give to other integrators working on this type of solution?<\/h3>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>S.M. &#8220;Rely on a stable infrastructure, like ours, so that the customer has confidence in the high-quality products supplied by ELA. So keep it simple, and if you have a simple solution, the customer will trust you and your product.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<div style=\"height:61px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion of this exchange.<\/h2>\n\n<p>By combining <strong>ELA Innovation&#8217;s low-energy Bluetooth technology<\/strong> with<strong>Ratio-Tec&#8217;s Mesh infrastructure<\/strong>, the two companies are demonstrating that it is possible to <strong>digitalize industrial processes without complexity<\/strong>.
