The acquisition also lets Xped add visual sensors to its IoT solutions currently delivered through the smartphone app. Another key use cases of Jemsoft’s technology is building security.

Retail, marketing, and manufacturing are other verticals where Jemsoft is selling its technology solutions. Companies in these verticals can develop cognitive computing products and services using Jemsoft’s technology. Xped is now trying to develop new uses cases for its Jemsoft platform. These include programmatic advertising, connected devices, vehicles, and smart homes. No wonder that Xped’s executive chairman described Jemsoft as the missing link in the former’s IoT solutions.
