Hexiwear is a development platform for IoT and wearable devices. It is designed to help hardware creators and entrepreneurs with rapid prototyping so that they can efficiently produce innovative IoT products that keep us connected and transform the ways in which we live.
In the rapidly developing world of IoT and connected devices, the market demands faster lead times from design to delivery. Keeping up with the market forces can be challenging. Especially since most developers are still using tools and production methods that are not up to date.
Hexiwear is an IoT and wearable development solution complete with everything needed to take data from sensor to cloud. Hexiwear significantly reduces the development time and the time to market for your project.
