Products
Does Makehitec offer ready-to-use products or COTS technologies?
Yes. Makehitec develops its own COTS technologies and product platforms. Our current product portfolio includes Secure Machine Licensing Platform, a solution for secure licensing of Linux machines, embedded systems and edge devices, and D2D Smart Network, a connected mobility platform for anonymous driver-to-driver alerts, smart parking and safer urban mobility.
Can Makehitec adapt its products to a client’s environment?
Yes. Makehitec products are designed as reusable technology foundations that can be adapted, integrated or extended depending on the client’s infrastructure, security constraints and business objectives. For example, Secure Machine Licensing Platform can be adapted for industrial Linux machines, secure appliances, embedded systems or offline environments, while D2D Smart Network can be adapted for cities, fleet operators, mobility services or public-sector integrations.
What is D2D Smart Network?
D2D Smart Network is Makehitec’s connected mobility platform for safer and smarter urban mobility. It allows drivers to send anonymous alerts using only a license plate, helping with blocked driveways, open windows, lights left on, suspicious activity, parking uncertainty and other everyday vehicle situations. The technology is already deployed through Changuel, Makehitec’s first production deployment of the platform.
