IoT & Connectivity
The industrial data backbone. Connect every sensor, PLC, and machine on your shop floor — then turn raw telemetry into real-time intelligence.
What It Does
Your Factory's Nervous System
The IRIS IoT module is the data ingestion layer for your entire manufacturing operation. It collects telemetry from machines, sensors, PLCs, and edge gateways through a high-throughput HTTP API — normalizing, validating, and storing every data point in an optimized time-series database. Whether you're monitoring temperature, vibration, pressure, energy consumption, or custom process parameters, the IoT module handles it all at scale.
But data collection is just the beginning. Every telemetry reading is automatically evaluated against configurable alert rules, fed into AI/ML models for predictive analytics, and synchronized with Digital Twin simulations. The result is a closed-loop system where your physical assets and their digital representations stay perfectly in sync — enabling predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, and data-driven optimization across the entire plant.
With support for 10,000+ concurrent devices, edge computing for offline scenarios, and configurable data retention policies, the IoT module scales from a single production line to a multi-site enterprise deployment — without compromising on latency or reliability.
Key Features
Built for Industrial Scale
From sensor to insight in milliseconds. Every feature is designed for the demands of 24/7 manufacturing environments.
Universal Telemetry Ingestion
Collect data from any industrial source — PLCs, sensors, SCADA systems, and edge gateways — through a high-throughput HTTP API that handles 10,000+ messages per second.
Edge Computing & Offline Sync
Process data at the edge for latency-critical decisions. Edge devices continue operating offline and automatically synchronize when connectivity is restored.
Real-Time Device Monitoring
Track the online/offline status of every connected device in real time. Instantly see which assets are reporting, idle, or in maintenance mode.
Threshold-Based Alert Rules
Define min/max thresholds, conditional rules, and scheduled evaluations for any telemetry metric. Alerts trigger instantly through the GEMBA notification system.
Time-Series Storage & Retention
Optimized time-series storage with configurable retention policies, automatic archival, and partitioned queries that return results in under 100ms.
Device Authentication & Security
Every device authenticates via API keys with tenant-level isolation. Rate limiting, schema validation, and full audit logging protect your data pipeline.
Schema Validation & Normalization
Incoming telemetry is validated against defined schemas and normalized to a standard format — ensuring data consistency across thousands of heterogeneous devices.
Device Lifecycle Management
Register, configure, group, and decommission devices from a single interface. Link every device to its physical asset in the CMMS registry for full traceability.
Artificial Intelligence
AI-Powered IoT
Every telemetry stream flowing through the IoT module is a training signal for IRIS's AI engine. The DATA_AI module continuously analyzes sensor data to detect anomalies that human operators would miss — subtle vibration pattern changes that predict bearing failure weeks in advance, temperature drift that signals calibration issues, or energy consumption spikes that indicate process inefficiency.
Machine learning models trained on your historical telemetry data provide predictive maintenance recommendations, automatically adjusting alert thresholds based on learned equipment behavior. Instead of static min/max rules, the system evolves with your operations — reducing false positives while catching genuine anomalies earlier.
Anomaly Detection
AI identifies deviations from normal operating patterns across all connected devices
Predictive Maintenance
ML models forecast equipment failures before they cause unplanned downtime
