At Bright Wolf we believe the answer to “Build or Buy?” is to leverage proven, best of breed software components and services for industrial IoT platform infrastructure and functionality, including security, privacy, and reliability – and innovate where you can differentiate your offerings or address unique enterprise requirements and goals. To put it simply – don’t reinvent the wheel, but don’t settle for the same commodity system as your competitors unless you want the same commodity results.
Bright Wolf helps enterprises who rely on Microsoft Azure design and build the most flexible and cost-effective Azure IoT system architecture and data management solution. In addition to Azure industrial IoT solution development and digital strategy consulting we make available customizable industrial IoT platform accelerators to simplify edge connectivity and application development. Set up a free initial consultation to learn about best practices and how to build a sustainable connected solution for your organization.
Our developers will show you how to design a solution for mixed fleets of legacy and new equipment using a variety of data collection and device management scenarios. There are many ways to collect IoT data from devices in the field or facility. For example, depending on existing device capabilities, options include HTTPS transactions for hardware lacking MQTT or AMQP support that cannot be updated, connecting in parallel with modern equipment communicating directly with Azure IoT Hub as the cloud gateway.
Handling the volume, velocity, and variety of data sent to the cloud requires service orchestration for serialization, storage, and real-time message processing with services such as Azure Stream Analytics. Sophisticated data management is critical for realizing the potential of your solution, including data cleaning, routing to multiple systems, and enabling raw data backups that can be replayed for simulated behavior and analysis.
After ingestion and initial processing, proper data management is critical for deriving insights and driving actions across your organization – as well as keeping operational costs in line with the value produced. Through Azure API Management and Active Directory integration, secure access can be provided across enterprise teams, and automated workflows can be joined with enterprise systems and applications such as CRM, ERP, and other business systems, including Power BI and other visualization tools and dashboards.
Bright Wolf developers will help you bring it all together with Azure reference architecture guides and implementation support. Our goal is to enable your team every step of the way for application design and delivery – or we can build and operate the system for you depending on your needs as they change over time.
Azure provides secure and scalable infrastructure components for building a flexible industrial IoT platform designed for your unique enterprise vision, goals, and constraints. Bright Wolf experts will guide your team every step of the way on reference architecture best practices and custom development opportunities to gain a competitive advantage.
Bright Wolf helps industrial enterprises increase business value by transforming operations and organizations with digital strategy, technology, solution delivery, and team enablement.
