Solution 20 · IoT & Connected Device Platforms
Live data from every device, in one place
A connected device platform where sensors, machines and trackers report to one system — so your team sees status and location in real time, gets alerted when readings drift, and plans maintenance from data instead of guesswork.
- Device monitoring
- Sensor data
- Alerts & thresholds
- Remote management
The problem it solves
When equipment only gets checked on a walk-round
Many operations still learn about a failing pump, a warm freezer or a missing trailer when someone happens to notice. Readings are written on clipboards, devices from different vendors each have their own app, and nobody can see the whole fleet at once. Problems surface as breakdowns, spoiled stock or emergency callouts rather than as early warnings.
A connected device platform brings readings from every sensor and machine into one view. Thresholds trigger alerts, history shows trends, and teams act on what the data is telling them.
Who uses it
Operations manager
Watches the status of every site and asset on one dashboard, and reviews trends that point to problems before they become failures.
Technician
Receives alerts on a phone, sees the device's recent readings and location, and records what was fixed on site.
Device administrator
Registers new devices, groups them by site or customer, sets thresholds and pushes configuration changes remotely.
Customer
On a customer-facing build, sees the status and history of their own equipment without calling for an update.
The blueprint
Building blocks in this system
- 01
Accounts & roles
Roles for operators, technicians and administrators, with access scoped to the sites, fleets or customers each person covers.
- 02
Maps & tracking
Device and asset positions on a map, geofences for yards or sites, and movement history for trackers.
- 03
Dashboards & reports
Live readings, historical trends, uptime and anomaly patterns by device, site or model, ready for maintenance planning.
- 04
Notifications
Threshold breaches, offline devices and low batteries sent by SMS, email or push, with escalation if unacknowledged.
- 05
Mobile app
A field app for technicians to receive alerts, check readings, acknowledge issues and log work on site.
- 06
Admin console
Device registration, grouping, thresholds, firmware and configuration settings managed for the whole fleet from one console.
- 07
Integrations & API
Device data ingestion over common protocols, plus links to maintenance, ERP and business intelligence tools.

How it works
From sensor reading to action taken
- 01
Device reports in
Sensors and machines send readings on a schedule or on change, and the platform records each one securely.
- 02
Data is checked
Incoming readings are compared with thresholds and recent history, and unusual patterns are flagged automatically.
- 03
Team is alerted
The right person is notified with the device, location and reading, and the alert escalates if nobody responds.
- 04
Issue is handled
A technician investigates, adjusts settings remotely or visits on site, and records what was done in the app.
- 05
Trends guide planning
Historical data shows which assets need attention next, so maintenance is scheduled before failures happen.
Connects & grows

- Phase 1
Launch
Device onboarding for your first sensor or machine types, live readings on a dashboard, threshold alerts by SMS and email, and an admin console for sites and devices.
- Phase 2
Expand
A technician mobile app, asset tracking on maps with geofences, remote configuration, alert escalation, and connections to maintenance and inventory systems so alerts can turn into work.
- Phase 3
Scale
Larger fleets and more device types, customer-facing portals, anomaly detection and predictive maintenance models trained on your own history, and data pipelines feeding wider business reporting.

FAQ
Questions about iot systems
Something else? Ask us directly.
Often, yes. Many sensors and machines can send data over standard protocols or through a gateway, and some vendors provide data feeds we can connect to. We review your existing equipment during discovery and recommend where to connect directly, where a gateway is needed, and where new hardware would be simpler.
