IoT platforms and device data collection

It includes secure ingestion of readings from many devices, their archiving, dashboards with a live view and history, alerts for threshold breaches, failures and lost connectivity, and remote settings changes. We build it as software: backend, panel and integrations. We do not design the device, sensors or electronics itself. That is done by the client or a hardware partner. The code and documentation belong to you.

We start by agreeing with the hardware team what the device sends, how often and over which protocol (for example MQTT). Then we build data ingestion, the database and a first dashboard, often on simulated readings, so we do not wait for finished hardware. Next stages are alerts, device management and reports. We work iteratively. Duration depends on the number of devices, reading frequency and panel scope, so we set a schedule after analysis.

The number of devices and how often they send data matter most, because they shape the architecture and infrastructure cost. Dashboard scope, alert rule complexity, remote configuration and update needs, and how long history is stored add to it. It also matters whether the data will later be analyzed, for example to predict failures. We base the estimate on the device communication specification and scale, and split the work into stages.

We encrypt transmission, authenticate devices and grant data access by role, following practices aligned with ISO/IEC 27001. We treat lost connectivity as a normal state: a device can buffer readings and send them later, while the system raises an alert about missing signal. False alarms are a risk too, so we tune alert rules with you on real data.

Yes, we design the architecture so devices can be added without a rebuild, by increasing server and database resources (for example PostgreSQL). After launch we can monitor operation, update the system and add new indicators and reports. The code and documentation are yours, so your own team can maintain it just as well. As data grows we plan archiving so costs do not grow out of control.
