What IoT solutions does Canister Software focus on?
We focus on sensor and gateway integration, connected displays and practical data workflows for retail and warehouse operations. Each project starts with the task and the systems involved rather than a broad list of devices.
Can you connect IoT devices to our existing business software?
We review the device platform and your application’s supported APIs, exports or database interfaces before confirming compatibility. Access permissions, data formats and update requirements determine the integration design.
Do we need to replace all our existing equipment?
Not necessarily. We first assess device models, connectivity, platform access and support status. A pilot helps establish what can be reused and what needs to change.
How is an IoT project scoped?
Scope depends on the number of devices and sites, connectivity, integration complexity and the workflow that staff will operate. We define a focused pilot before planning a wider deployment.
Is RFID part of an IoT solution?
RFID can provide identification events for connected workflows. It uses tags and readers to identify items at read points, while environmental sensors provide measurements. They can feed the same business system but need different hardware and validation.
