Applied IoT Technology
Gateway Cluster
IMaR hosts the Applied IoT Technology Gateway Cluster which is made up of six Enterprise Ireland Technology Gateways, IMaR, COMAND, ICS, Nimbus, WiSAR & Smarter Factory.
The cluster specialises in applying state of the art Internet of Things technologies to new and existing products, processes and services. Together with our partners in this cluster we use world class equipment and deliver services to partner companies who need our help across Ireland.
The cluster’s broad experience in delivery of near-to-market solutions has provided an array of benefits to many companies during their journey from product to market and in some cases have become an integral part in the ongoing research and development activities undertaken within those organisations.

Case Study: Astellas Ireland
Astellas Ireland is a multinational pharmaceutical company with operations in Ireland. They employ over 400 people across three locations in Ireland where they manufacture and globally supply a range of treatments, including immunosuppressant drugs. The company needed to develop a robust track and trace system for their hazardous waste.
Astellas received funding for an Innovation Partnership Feasibility study. The IMaR Technology gateway got to work investigating the feasibility of using Internet of Things technologies, such as RFID scanning and web-services integration, to address the problem of track and trace of pharmaceutical waste from source to industrial disposal overseas.
