“Working with Wirepas has always been a true pleasure and we are extremely proud to have them as our strategic partner” explains Markus Mäkelä, Co-Founder and Business Development Director at Wapice. He further continues that “while Wirepas’ exceptional mesh technology enables massive-scale, cost-efficient device connectivity our IoT-TICKET® Productivity Studio provides quick and easy creation of production-grade, AI powered applications. These typically generate cost savings, additional revenue streams or health & safety improvements across any industry vertical for our joint clients.” Asking him about this partnership he says that “I am confident that together we can bring innovative solutions quickly to the market” and adds that “this is not only a technical partnership, but all the experts involved are also extremely fun to work with.”
