Request for Change
Technology has always been the core of ELSYS. They have always been keen on grasping the market pulse and looking for new value-adds for their customers. When IoT is becoming a reality in Brazil, ELSYS is assured to adopt this technology in their resolution.
When their partners shared about the Tuya platform and its practices, ELSYS saw a valuable opportunity right away.

So ELSYS decided to partner with Tuya Smart, assured that the agility and flexibility of the Tuya IoT platform could help them meet the current needs of the market.
Challenge and Solution
To make a product smart, the first problem ELSYS needs to tackle was communication protocol. Tuya's platform hardware solution made it possible to embed, on ELSYS products, the direct connection to a cloud-computing platform and to vastly reduce mass production time, which was a groundbreaking practice in Brazil. A perfect use case is ELSYS Wi-Fi smart door lock.
Besides, what has driven ELSYS to choose the Tuya platform as a long-term business partner is the high quality of OEM solutions combined with the level of granularity offered in customizations.
The OEM application, for example, offers an agile way to develop and launch products, and the cloud development platform allows the creation of exclusive features and services that add pleasure to the user experience.
