Public-cloud SaaS
Ready to use, activated as needed
- No server room or O&M team to build
- Standard capabilities keep improving with each release
- Good for proving the business and for pilot projects
IoT Cloud Platform
The Xiaowei AI+IoT Smart Cloud Platform handles device access, the Rule Engine and the Open API. Every device automation capability comes from here.
Delivery Public-cloud SaaS is ready on activation. Standalone private cloud deployment suits large enterprises and government units with sensitive data. You can also integrate by API with your existing business systems.

Technical layers
From the device layer to the user layer
The platform connects massive numbers of IoT devices efficiently and collects data in real time, with support for multiple communication protocols and edge computing. Embedded AI and machine learning handle analysis, recognition and automated decisions. Data security mechanisms and modular SaaS expansion are also built into the platform.

Device lifecycle
Once devices are online, keep them under control
All five stages run inside the platform. No separate O&M system to piece together.
-
Register & connect
Zero-touch authentication, secure onboarding and activation control.
Zero-touch auth -
Push configuration
Standardized sampling rates, data formats and control commands.
Config templates -
Live monitoring
Thing Model data in sync, business data visible in real time.
Thing Model data -
Health management
Heartbeat, battery and signal monitoring and diagnosis.

Core capabilities
Six things the platform does
Once devices are connected, the Thing Model, lifecycle, rules, AI and cloud-edge collaboration all run on this one platform.
Deployment options
Three options, chosen by data sensitivity
One core, different ways to deliver it. Run the business on SaaS first, then go private as you scale. No need to change vendors and start over.
Standalone private cloud deployment
Deployed in your environment, with data and brand kept independent
- Brand customization and secondary development supported
- Meets government and large-enterprise security requirements
- Connects to your existing accounts and business systems
API integration
You already have a business platform and only need device and automation capabilities
- Device data and device control APIs
- Message forwarding and cloud-to-cloud integration
- No system replacement, integrate as needed
The three options can be mixed: deploy core data privately and run non-core modules on public-cloud SaaS.
Why Xiaowei
Why use a platform instead of building your own
The Rule Engine and scenario automation run at the platform layer, so any connected device can take part, not just our own three hardware products.
High concurrency, scalable
Designed for hundred-million-scale data and tens of millions of users, supporting cross-region deployment and multi-region service worldwide.
Broad compatibility
A unified Thing Model with multi-protocol access reduces the cost of fragmented device categories and avoids lock-in to a single vendor or standard.
Security and openness together
Encrypted transmission, controlled permissions and privacy protection. APIs, SDKs and developer toolchains are open for easy secondary integration.
Recurring revenue structure
Connect once, then add cloud services, AI models and scenario applications to build long-term service income.
