 5 Scenarios

5 Scenarios

5.1 Device management system and big data platform

After brand owners create IoT products with Tuya’s modules, they can leverage the
open cloud capabilities to efficiently build a device management system and big
data platform. For example, energy companies can build an energy data system
to efficiently dispatch devices and allocate resources. This helps to create savings
that can be passed on to consumers.

5.2 Build industry SaaS solutions

Based on business practices in dozens of industries, Tuya has a well-connected de-

vice ecosystem, comprehensive software services, and extended cloud capabilities.
These advantages help industry solution providers build highly competitive solu-
tions with convenience and flexibility. For example, smart hotel solution providers
purchase electrical devices, lighting, and home appliances from Tuya, and achieve
plenty of cloud-based features.

A smart campus solution provider purchases ‘Powered by Tuya’devices, manages

devices by assets, and builds a multi-terminal application system. It encompasses
