Industrial IoT Automation for Smart Operations

Transforming how a factory monitors, controls, and optimises processes through connected devices and intelligent automation.

Client & Goal Overview

Client Type

Mid-size Manufacturing Company (Industrial Sector)


Challenge

MProduction bottlenecks and limited visibility into equipment performance were driving unplanned downtime and inefficiencies. The client wanted to modernise operations by integrating IoT sensors and automation to enable real-time decision-making and reduce manual interventions.


Our Role

Design and implementation of an IoT-enabled automation system, including sensor integration, data processing pipelines, predictive analytics, and custom alerts, tailored to existing infrastructure and process flows.

Project Journey & Results

Project Scope
  • Installed IoT sensors across key machines for temperature, vibration, and output tracking.
  • Designed and deployed edge processing units for real-time local decisions.
  • Created a central dashboard for visualising operations and receiving live alerts.
  • Integrated predictive maintenance algorithms using machine learning.
  • Ensured compliance with industrial networking and data protection standards.
  •  

Technical Stack
  • Sensors & Edge: Industrial-grade IoT sensors, Raspberry Pi + Arduino for edge logic
  • Connectivity: MQTT protocol over private 4G network
  • Data Layer: InfluxDB + Grafana for real-time metrics
  • Analytics: Python + scikit-learn models for anomaly detection
  • Interface: Custom dashboard built with Node-RED
  • Security: TLS, role-based access, and VPN-secured gateways

Results
  • Improved cross-line coordination with centralised dashboards aggregating equipment status in real time.
  • Reduced manual errors by standardising workflows and introducing automated validation rules.
  • Enabled shift supervisors to track KPIs live, improving accountability and decision-making across teams.

🟧 Reduced machine downtime by 60% through predictive alerts.
🟧 Improved throughput by 15% via real-time process visibility.
🟧 Digitised 100% of manual logging tasks across two production lines.
