Consulting for Industrial IoT Systems (IIoT)

We specialize in consulting for software in industrial IoT systems (IIOT), leveraging the Industrial Internet Reference Architecture (IIRA) to guide both greenfield and brownfield projects across all software aspects, including embedded software, network nodes, and cloud solutions. Reference Cases.

Sectors with Industrial IoT Applications

Industrial:

• Industrial control and automation devices in IIOT networks.
• Hardware abstraction and APIs to avoid multiple implementations in device agents.

Logistics:

• Goods tracking in global setups (e.g., pallets, containers, on-premise logistics)
• Logistics solutions for consumer smart packaging enabled by IIOT New business models and security requirements in transport and logistics.

Building Technology:

• Heating measurement devices in service and online settings.
• Water/HVAC control applications in IIOT networks, including wireless access networks for remote sites and security aspects in critical infrastructure buildings (e.g., hospitals)

Medical/Laboratory Technology:

• Platform integration of laboratory equipment (physical measurements, analytical instruments)
• Service applications in IOT networks with remote setup and onboarding 
• Architectures for medical-connected devices and platforms.

Finance:

Moving legacy applications to cloud environments with IOT enhancements (e.g., evidence tracking in audit)

General

Integration of commercial systems, marketplaces, CRM, and CRP backends.

We assist our customers in evaluating commercial loT platforms and hardware components, such as gateways and edge devices, for industrial use and medical devices. This includes considering industry-specific criteria, functionality, and regulatory aspects. Our services often include software reviews focusing on network and system security aspects, following regulatory guidelines such as the FDA premarket guideline on cybersecurity (Cybersecurity in Medical Devices: Quality System Considerations and Content of Premarket Submissions).
Most projects begin with an introductory workshop to familiarize clients with business models, standards, network protocols, device technology, and an overview of market players.
