SysSCRIPT™ is a beginner-friendly scripting solution that anyone can use for machine-to-machine applications or the Internet of Things. In a traditional M2M solution, custom software is created to execute on an embedded Linux operating system located on the gateway. This custom software may be created in Python, C, JavaScript, or any other programming language supported by Linux. This is a good solution, but requires significant development time, and must be created by experienced software engineers. With SysSCRIPT, the software development process is streamlined. Instead of months of expensive development time, this is reduced to just a few minutes – and can be done by non-engineering resources. The world of the Internet of Things becomes much simpler and more practical when integrators, VARS, and even end users are able to create applications to meet just about any need.
