How we enhanced 42% operational efficiency with real time IoT monitoring solutions

Challenges: Lack of efficient renewable energy oversight hinders manufacturing businesses

Our client faced a significant challenge in effectively overseeing their IoT devices responsible for generating and storing renewable energy. They lacked a mechanism to instantly monitor these critical assets, making it difficult to track energy usage patterns and manage the devices efficiently. Expensive disruptions and manual tracking struggles ensued, prompting them to seek our assistance in developing a live data streaming web application.

To overcome all these issues, they sought a team of experts to develop a live data streaming web application, provide instantaneous monitoring and control over their renewable energy assets

Solution: Tailored real-time IoT monitoring application with Kafka and HiveMQ for enhanced operational efficiency

We meticulously collected and documented the client’s requirements, crafting a detailed architectural blueprint and comprehensive design documents for each component. Understanding their needs, we recommended Kafka, a high-throughput messaging platform, to enhance reliability and reduce manual intervention, while leveraging Confluent Cloud as our cloud service provider.

Given the IoT nature of their data sources, including batteries and capacitors, we utilized HiveMQ as a robust broker to seamlessly integrate IoT data into the Kafka ecosystem. Fine-tuning configurations for optimal performance, we incorporated custom features for device validations and Power Optimizations, utilizing multiple Kafka Streams Processors and KSQLDB clusters.

Integrating Confluent Cloud with MongoDB via Kafka Connect connectors facilitated data storage for visualization and reporting, while custom Java consumer applications updated device statuses in real time. Custom Kafka processors were developed to generate alerts in case of issues, and we ensured schema compatibility for seamless integration.

Adhering to industry best practices, we implemented proactive monitoring and ongoing support through tools like GitLab for continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), ensuring efficient issue resolution during execution.
