The first industrial revolution witnessed exordium of machines supplementing human labor. But as technology advanced, it engendered a whole incipient era of perspicacious technologies introducing the second industrial revolution with Cloud and IoT. While it created huge opportunities for new players and technologies to emerge, it also expedited the industrial automation process through an amalgamation of smart technologies advancing the subsisting automation in the industries.

With the advances came challenges to acclimate to the technologies that were fairly incipient. With years of expertise in industrial networking, Bhagath Singh Karunakaran with Kamalakannan Govindarajulu and Mahalingam Ramasamy incorporated Kalycito in 2007 to create a difference in the Industrial Communication and Industrial IoT space. Headquartered in Coimbatore, Kalycito operates in two business verticals - embedded design services and platform based devices and services.

Kalycito's IOT platform eAlerta addresses operational challenges across all businesses from small to medium scale deployments up to 10000 points.
The platform is built in a way it can be used for Instrumentation, Data Acquisition, Analytics & Alerting Requirements. Working on a SaaS-subscription model, eAlerta offers real time insights on operations, maintenance and energy by monitoring parameters such as temperature, sultriness, pressure, Demand, Units/kWh, kVA, PF and Harmonics24x7. Businesses are enabled with 100% automated and accurate data, proactive alerts and consolidated daily email reports that helps in taking quick decisions resulting in operational benefits, maintenance benefits and energy conservation benefits. Bhagath integrates, "In our eAlerta IoT platform, our motive has been our ability to address operational challenges through live monitoring at the price of astute smart phone and data plan to increase RoI, placidity of mind & growth in bottom-line. Some of our intelligent customers also use eAlerta to increase their top-line".
