Industrial IoT solutions

Yalantis’ experience with multiple Industrial IoT-related projects has helped us design a unified framework to effectively work with IoT and IIoT technologies based on our clients’ business challenges and needs.

Our framework is based on a philosophy of building solutions that don’t just play a supporting role in tackling cumbersome tasks. Yalantis’ main priority is to deliver long-lasting and practical tools that facilitate efficient digital transformation and serve as reliable assistants in our clients’ internal operations, capable of accommodating new functionality or implementing new technologies as the need arises.

In terms of Industrial IoT services, we focus on:

Scalability and flexibility of technological solutions that support active business expansion

Based on our experience collaborating with companies across various domains, we have learned the importance of offering our partners a reliable technological foundation that not only supports but also accelerates their business growth and international expansion.

This includes designing and building a scalable and flexible Industrial IoT solution architecture in a way that:

• is scalable and easily adaptable to a growing number of devices
• ensures stable communication with devices even under extreme conditions
• guarantees seamless performance even when integrated with IoT data management tools aggregating, processing, and analyzing vast amounts of complex IIoT data
• complies with security standards such as IEC 61508, IEC 62443, and ISO 13849
• maintains stable performance and communication with devices and firmware due to rigorous testing approaches

Many companies believe that at the earliest stages of a solution’s existence, there’s no need to think about comprehensive architectures. However, through our projects, we’ve seen how midsize companies grow into enterprise-level corporations and require complex and expedited adoption of a substantial number of IoT devices. Such adoption requires a significant intensification of resource use and stable, risk-free performance, which is impossible without a reliable technological foundation.

Companies usually need years of active development before reaching the enterprise level; however, it’s best to set the stage beforehand.

Transitioning to a digital approach in monitoring and managing industrial settings

When dealing with the digital transformation of businesses and developing an Industrial IoT solution, Yalantis applies a concept we call the digital-first point of decision-making. By providing businesses with a data-driven digital environment, we assist them in:

• enhancing operational efficiency
• redirecting budget planning and allocation towards more effective resource management
• reducing excessive costs on maintenance and operational tasks

For this, we implement the following technologies as part of our IIoT services:

• Digital twins for creating a digital copy of the equipment present on the factory floor to get a visual context of its condition, supplemented by data-driven insights on its operation
• Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), which are used for more efficient training by imitating real life equipment and incidents and how to deal with them
• Edge computing to reduce latency and improve real-time decision-making by moving a data processing center closer to the data source rather than in a remote cloud
• Robotic process automation (RPA), which substantially improves operational efficiency in industrial settings through advanced automation of manual processes
• Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for quicker and more accurate analysis of big data as well as real-time updates on equipment and floor conditions (use cases for machine learning)
• And more.

By implementing these technologies into an Industrial IoT solution, we pave the way for many things, including:

• preventive and predictive maintenance
• predictive analytics
• comprehensive asset condition monitoring

All of these contribute to the all-around digital transformation of a traditional business.

Adopting innovations that meet real needs

Innovations are great when they are relevant. Having an AR- and VR-based Industrial IoT solution is excellent, but it becomes problematic when there’s no need for it. IoT industrial solutions shine as long as they find their application within your company, and Yalantis understands this, prioritizing practicality over trends.

Our approach to implementing innovations in IIoT solutions includes considering the practical use cases of emerging technologies so that businesses can be sure they are investing in something that will genuinely benefit their processes.

However, it’s challenging to predict when you will really need a trendy technology or what kind of technical support your business may require during expansion. That’s why we always leave room for improvement by designing IIoT solutions architectures that are capable of seamlessly undergoing modifications, integrations, or unplanned implementations.

Ensuring reliable security and compliance of your company, software, and hardware with industry standards for industrial internet of things solutions

As an ISO-certified company, Yalantis understands the importance of complying with industry-specific standards in Industrial IoT solution development. That’s why our services include compliant development (ensuring compliance with HIPAA, the GDPR, IEC, FedRAMP, PCI DSS, etc.) as well as consulting on and preparing our clients’ companies to receive ISO certification.

The critical part of compliant development is adhering to strict security standards and ensuring robust overall security of your solution so that no sensitive device data leaks outside the organization. Our IoT cybersecurity solutions include establishing a secure development process ensuring full security of our clients’ software and hardware, and following strict NDA policies.
