Project Summary

Unicsoft converted a faulty proof-of-concept into a production-grade, cloud-based IoT monitoring solution for an industrial component manufacturer, onboarding roughly 50 B2B clients. The vendor redesigned the notifications engine, built high-performance backend services to handle large data volumes, and delivered CMS and dashboards. The engagement has been ongoing since 2014, with strong project management, documentation, and a customer-oriented approach that met aggressive exhibition-driven deadlines.

Key Challenges

Deliver a cloud-based IoT monitoring solution for high-reliability industrial applications
Fix and stabilize an existing live but faulty system
Scale backend to handle large and growing data volumes
Provide proactive downtime detection and notifications so issues are known before users report them

Project Deliverables

Cloud-based IoT monitoring platform
Notifications engine with diagnostics and analytics
Backend services in Go
CMS and admin dashboards (Django)
Frontend (AngularJS)
AWS-based infrastructure
Documentation and wiki

Project Solution

Unicsoft took the system from a proof of concept to a fully developed, production-ready cloud IoT monitoring platform. They executed phased work starting with a code review and prioritized fixes, then redesigned the notifications engine to add diagnostics and analytics, and built backend processing in Go to handle large asynchronous data flows. The CMS and dashboards were implemented in Django with an AngularJS frontend, and the whole infrastructure runs on AWS. They also provided project management, QA, documentation (wiki), and ongoing support.

Project Outcome

System became reliably operational within 2–3 months after remediation
Around 50 B2B clients onboarded with 10–50 users per client
Collected roughly 10 terabytes of values within a year, demonstrating scalable data handling
Consistently met exhibition-driven release deadlines (generally on time with minor delays)
Ongoing engagement with continued development and strong documentation enabling handoffs
