Introducing the SOTI XSight Smart Battery Dashboard

The SOTI XSight Smart Battery Dashboard gives organizations total visibility into the health and expected lifespan of their batteries, allowing them to proactively replace them before they fail.
SOTI Leads the Way Globally with the Most Google Android Enterprise Certified Experts
SOTI provides support for Android™ in numerous ways. First, preferred by 77% of U.S. based multinational firms – are managed and secured with maximum uptime.
The second way SOTI supports Android is by providing guidance, insights and answers to customers who need a little help. The best way to do this is to become an Android Enterprise Certified Expert, and in July, Google recognized SOTI as having more Android Enterprise Certified Experts than any other partner. SOTI Android Enterprise Certified Experts can be found throughout the company: during the discovery phase when you discuss the needs of your business-critical mobile strategy; in Sales as SOTI delivers the best solution and value; and in Technical Support to help you troubleshoot any issues with SOTI MobiControl or Android Enterprise.
That means SOTI customers who utilize Android have more access to world-class knowledge, speedy support and issue resolution. Plus, Android Enterprise Certified Experts have access to exclusive content and resources, that are unavailable anywhere else, to help solve problems and provide solutions even faster.
It was a monumental acknowledgement, and it speaks to the dedication of SOTI employees to achieve this designation because becoming an Android Enterprise Certified Expert is not easy – and SOTI has more of them.
Dr. Guangjun Liu Announced as SOTI Research Chair for Toronto Metropolitan University’s Department of Aerospace Engineering
SOTI Aerospace is focused on advanced aerial drone and robotics research to develop vision-based systems for indoor environments. SOTI initially launched SOTI Aerospace with a $20 million CAD investment with $2.5 million allocated towards the creation of a new Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) research chair to develop research and experiential learning opportunities.
Indoor drone technology is a burgeoning space with incredible potential, and SOTI Aerospace will focus its efforts on autonomous drones for healthcare settings. For example, drones can “make the rounds” to visit patients, record vital signs and alert staff if a medical issue is detected. This technology can help improve efficiency and patient care. The technology that will improve healthcare outcomes for tomorrow will be developed by the brightest young minds of today and will be led by an experienced and respected leader in academia.
In May 2022, to further the development of SOTI Aerospace, Dr. Guangjun Liu was appointed SOTI Research Chair, Faculty of Engineering & Architectural Science’s Department of Aerospace Engineering. Dr. Liu’s credentials are impressive:
- Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Toronto in 1996
- Professor and former Canada Research Chair in control systems and robotics with the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Toronto Metropolitan University
- Licensed member of the Professional Engineers of Ontario
- Former Technical Editor of the IEEE/ASME Transactions of Mechatronics
SOTI is honored to have Dr. Liu as SOTI Research Chair and for him to continue preparing students to become bold, fearless leaders and changemakers.
