Scalable IoT platform for real-time shop-floor insights and automated device management
Disconnected shop-floor devices become one IoT platform. It reports faults in real time and grows with production.
Challenge
Build an IoT solution that also connects the existing devices and delivers data in real time. On a tight schedule and budget.
Initial situation
Delayed insights
Avoidable costs
When data arrives late, defects go unnoticed. That means scrap and rework.
Manual provisioning
Unscalable
Setting up each device by hand slows the rollout. Parts of the shop floor stay in the dark.
No observability
Undetected failures
When a device fails, nobody notices. Data is lost, and the team reacts to incidents too late.
Solution
An IoT infrastructure in the cloud that connects devices and automates operations.
PostgreSQL database
Reliable data storage without licence costs, built for large volumes of telemetry.
Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
Infrastructure is provisioned automatically and the same way every time. It scales fast, without configuration drift.
Azure Functions
Processes device events in real time, without servers of its own.
Azure IoT Hub
Devices are onboarded securely and in large numbers, and fit straight into Azure.
