Learn How We Developed AWS-Based IoT Solution For Material Handling With Predictive Maintenance

Project Background

The client mandated CREATIVE to develop an IoT solution for material handling systems. The solution was required to feature data acquisition IoT nodes, a gateway system connecting the AWS-based IoT platform and be EMI / EMC and ROHS Compliant.

Our Scope

What we did

IoT nodes acquired multi-sensor data and converted them to useful domain-dependent metrics. The time series data from various nodes was concentrated at the gateway and was backhauled by GSM / GPRS to the cloud through IOT protocol. The streaming data was handled in the cloud and analyzed online. Data could also be visualized and analyzed on mobile devices through API interfaces on the cloud. A predictor system forecasted the functional degradation of the material handling system and communicated the alerts to the operator. An innovative system design for the communication protocols considering the necessary throughput was conceived. Our team leveraged their rich experience in system design, distributed IoT infrastructure on AWS, effective handling of real / near real-time data, upstream compatibility and storage, streaming requirements of real-time data on AWS IoT infrastructure, AI/ML algorithms for time series data to deliver a deployable solution.
