The client needed a centralized platform for collecting, processing, and visualizing data from IoT devices, operating in a highly available environment with the ability to scale as the number of connected devices increased.
An additional requirement was to integrate the Building Management System (BMS) with an elevator system operating within the elevator manufacturer’s cloud infrastructure, while ensuring secure and reliable communication between the client’s infrastructure and the external cloud platform.
The Sorigo team deployed and configured ThingsBoard, an all-in-one IoT platform, using a microservices architecture running on a Kubernetes cluster. This enabled independent scaling of individual platform components, including the device connectivity layer (MQTT, CoAP, HTTP, LwM2M), the Rule Engine, and the data visualization layer based on dashboards.
In parallel, we designed and implemented dedicated integration adapters to translate communication between the client’s BMS and the elevator manufacturer’s cloud platform. This enabled real-time exchange of events and telemetry data between the two systems.
