LORIOT Partners with SPE to Bring Human-Centered IoT Solutions: Making Smart Technology Accessible for Everyone

IoT Platform Leader Teams with Smart Infrastructure Specialist to Focus on Accessible Technology for Non-Technical Users

LORIOT, a leading IoT connectivity platform provider, today announced a strategic partnership withSchär & Partner Engineering GmbH (SPE), a Swiss smart infrastructure specialist based in Biberist. The collaboration aims to deliver accessible IoT solutions to local businesses, agricultural operations, and SMEs across Switzerland, with a strong emphasis on user-friendly implementation for non-technical sectors.

The partnership addresses a fundamental challenge in IoT adoption: the gap between advanced technological capabilities and the practical needs of traditional industries.

LORIOT's robust connectivity platform, combined with SPE's user-centered implementation approach, creates a pathway for non-technical users to harness IoT benefits without the typical complexity barriers.

"The future of IoT isn't about complex technology, it's about simple solutions that solve real problems," said Anita Pakovi, Business Development Manager at LORIOT."Our partnership with SPE allows us to focus on what truly matters: creating IoT applications that business owners and farmers can easily adopt and immediately benefit from, without needing technical expertise."

Making IoT Accessible for Traditional Industries

The partnership leverages SPE's deep regional expertise, established relationships with local electrical installation companies, and proven track record in smart infrastructure implementation, providing LORIOT with an ideal channel to reach Swiss SMEs and agricultural operations.

Local agriculture represents a primary focus area, where LORIOT sees significant potential for IoT applications that help farmers optimize irrigation systems, monitor crop conditions, and reduce resource waste; all delivered through intuitive interfaces that require minimal technical knowledge.

While agriculture serves as a key market, the LORIOT-SPE partnership extends the platform's reach into other sectors where accessible IoT implementation can drive meaningful impact:

• Manufacturing SMEs seeking to modernize legacy equipment and improve operational efficiency
• Commercial buildings requiring smart energy management and predictive maintenance solutions
• Local businesses looking to optimize operations without major infrastructure investments

.

A special focus is on Smart Village initiatives, where IoT helps municipalities optimize public infrastructure, improve energy efficiency, and strengthen community services. Agriculture remains an important highlight, showcasing how intuitive IoT solutions can support farmers in areas like irrigation control, climate monitoring, and resource optimization. But the broader mission goes beyond farming: creating accessible technology for towns, businesses, and organizations that traditionally lack the resources to adopt complex digital systems.

"Technology is only valuable when it serves people in their daily lives. With LORIOT, we are bringing IoT out of the labs and into our communities, farms, and local businesses – simple, practical, and designed for real impact." said Manuel Schär, CEO, Schär & Partner Engineering GmbH

Human-Centered IoT Implementation

LORIOT's collaboration with SPE prioritizes user adoption and practical outcomes over technical sophistication. By designing IoT solutions that require minimal specialized maintenance and providing comprehensive support through SPE's local networks, LORIOT enables businesses to benefit from advanced connectivity without the typical staffing concerns.

As Switzerland continues its digital transformation, collaborations like this ensure that local businesses and agricultural operations can fully participate in and benefit from IoT innovation.
