The foundation of connected products lies in the use of connected IoT devices, which provide the necessary connectivity to transfer data to the cloud and other devices. These IoT devices act as endpoints, gathering data such as temperature, pressure, and movement, which is transmitted over the internet to cloud platforms for analysis and processing. The cloud infrastructure is critical as it provides the storage and analytical capacity required to handle the massive amounts of data generated by these devices. Cloud platforms enable your business to access real-time data, perform analytics, and leverage machine learning algorithms to make data-driven decisions.

Zoi accompanies you in designing the optimal IoT architecture, and in connecting devices and applications using public cloud stacks. The cloud offers building blocks for integrating devices, connecting to IoT brokers in the cloud, device registration and management, and secure connections. Zoi provides holistic support throughout the entire process, from selection and evaluation to end-to-end solution implementation.

If your company is challenged by managing the exponential growth of data generated by IoT devices, outsourcing this data to data lakes for further analysis may be a solution. However, simply storing data in a data lake is not enough. To extract valuable insights and meaningful analytics from the data, it's crucial to integrate the data lake with business intelligence (BI) tools.

By integrating data lakes with BI tools, your business can transform raw data into actionable insights, which can inform decision-making and improve operations. Real-time data can also be integrated with BI tools to enable faster and more targeted decision-making. For example, predictive maintenance can be implemented by analyzing real-time data from IoT devices to predict maintenance needs, reducing costs and saving time.

Zoi, with its cross-industry expertise, helps your business with cost-optimized selection, setup, and connection of IoT devices to data lakes, as well as with analysis and integration of data with BI tools. Leveraging Zoi's expertise enhances your data-driven decision-making capabilities, driving corporate development forward.

IoT connections enable companies to collect, store, and process data in the backend. However, this data only becomes valuable when combined with corresponding process data, linked to other service, sales, or recommendation processes.

To implement an effective IoT solution, the selection of technologies and platforms for IoT backends and data processing is critical for success. Evaluating different options regarding the cloud provider, database technologies, or messaging systems helps you make the right decisions for your business needs.

IoT backends and data processing systems quickly grow to handle large volumes of data and traffic. Proper management is important to prevent high costs and ensure high-quality data and its governance. Techniques like serverless computing, auto-scaling, and optimization of data storage and processing support building scalable and cost-effective solutions.

Zoi, with 10 years of public cloud expertise, offers end-to-end IoT stacks and a team of skilled professionals for all aspects of IoT solution implementation. By following best practices and standards for the design, implementation, and management of these solutions – including security measures, data processing techniques, and performance optimization – we help you avoid common pitfalls and ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations. Our continuous monitoring and management ensure that your IoT systems are performing optimally and meeting your business requirements. We set up the necessary tools and processes that detect and prevent issues before they turn into problems, including monitoring system health, performance metrics, and error logs.
