Industrial IoT Monitoring Platform

Eastgate delivered a scalable cloud IoT platform for an industrial automation client in Japan, replacing a legacy monitoring system with a modern AWS-based architecture. The platform centralizes device management, firmware updates, and GIS visualization across factory environments. The 2021-2023 engagement achieved measurable gains in performance, availability, and operational efficiency.

Challenge

• Legacy industrial IoT system lacked flexibility, modern UI, and efficient data handling for factory device monitoring.
• No centralized integration for diverse gateways and edge devices across factory floors.
• Performance bottlenecks limited real-time monitoring and firmware management capabilities.
• System needed to support advanced features including data visualization, device management, and M2M communication.

Solution

• Built a cloud IoT platform on AWS for real-time monitoring and centralized device control.
• Upgraded backend from Node.js 12 to 16 for improved performance and security.
• Delivered modern GIS-based UI with data visualization and interactive mapping.
• Implemented core modules for data, events, firmware, and license management.
• Enabled M2M communication and custom gateway support for heterogeneous device fleets.

Architecture

Outcome

• Improved system performance by 30-50% through backend modernization and architectural redesign.
• Achieved 99.9% platform availability for continuous industrial operations.
• Increased operational efficiency in device monitoring by 40%.

Tech Stack

• Backend: Node.js
• Frontend: Vue.js
