SWaRM is Inkwell Data's smart water metering application built on the Altior digital twin platform. Unlike traditional vendor-locked solutions, SWaRM supports multiple metering technologies—AMR, AMI, cellular, and LPWAN—within one unified system. This technology-agnostic approach lets water utilities test and scale smart metering without commitment to a single vendor. SWaRM provides comprehensive meter management, real-time monitoring, automated billing, and leak detection through an intuitive interface, creating a future-proof infrastructure that serves all stakeholders.

Altior simplifies digital twin creation for Industrial IoT through an intuitive web-based platform. Users map physical devices to digital counterparts by defining simple properties and data types—no extensive coding required. Altior automatically generates secure, scalable code and manages millions of device instances through its Runtime Environment. With built-in Aegis security, technology-agnostic network adapters, and cloud-agnostic clustering, Altior delivers enterprise-grade IIoT solutions accessible to non-programmers.

Altior's middleware delivers technology-agnostic networking through Abstract Network Interfaces (ANI) that connect digital twins to physical devices via secure virtual pipelines. The platform abstracts underlying protocols—Wi-Fi, cellular, LPWAN (LoRa, M-Bus)—letting developers design IoT services based on business needs rather than network constraints. Users can prototype with multiple networks, avoid vendor lock-in, and switch technologies without changing application code. This approach future-proofs applications and enables flexible deployment across public or private infrastructure.

Aegis is Altior's end-to-end security framework for Industrial IoT, implementing zero-trust architecture and hardware-based encryption across all layers. Built on open-source standards, it features Aegis-KM—a FIPS 140-2 compliant key management server optimized for massive IoT deployments. The framework provides risk-adaptive access control (RADAC), pluggable security providers, and symmetric cryptography optimized for low-power devices. Aegis protects against common IoT attacks while remaining flexible for custom security implementations.

Altior addresses real estate IoT challenges through vendor-agnostic middleware that eliminates lock-ins, reduces deployment costs, and implements zero-trust security. The platform creates a unified digital layer enabling interoperability across multi-vendor devices and networks. With no-code environment and transparent pricing, it supports utilities monitoring, ESG reporting, and space utilization while drastically cutting data transfer and cloud costs. Fast payback within months depending on building efficiency. for custom security implementations.
