Formed withthe objective of bringing the benefits of current Internet of Things secure wireless networking and big data technologies to the industrial world of Switched Reluctance Machine technology, Software Motor Corporation (SMC) makes smart electric motors. These motors are smart because their unique, patented hardware and software combine to deliver lower capital and operating cost, plus improved efficiency, reliability and performance. An additional benefit is that this is achieved without the use of rare earth metals. SMC motors are smart because they are devices on the Internet of Things. The firm's motors connect to the network and securely send data on a wide range of metrics back to the SMC analytics platform. The data is then analyzed, modeled and can be viewed from a tablet or smartphone. Using the Big Data capabilities of the firm's analytics platform, SMC motors can be optimized and controlled, delivering even greater efficiency and performance.
