The client was looking for a modern way to remotely manage and monitor a large portfolio of generators deployed around the world. The goal was to replace the original, technologically outdated system with a cloud application built on current technologies. The new solution was to enable access to real-time operational data, remote device control, and efficient reporting. The solution also needed to bring digital transformation to a technologically conservative industrial environment, with an emphasis on modern UX design, cloud data processing, and ease of use on mobile devices.

We designed and developed the SmartCloud cloud platform, which fundamentally changes how generator units are managed and operated. We turned each unit into an IoT device connected to the cloud with real-time monitoring, remote control, and efficient reporting.

Development began with a detailed analysis of requirements and extensive technical documentation. Within three months, a working prototype was connected to a generator in Australia, enabling safe remote start and shutdown of the device. We progressively solved key technical challenges including data synchronization from multiple sources, time-series architecture design, and the performance needed to process real telemetry. We integrated the communication protocol and high-speed data transfer via gRPC.

Dashboard

Instant overview of device status with alerts for critical issues.

‍

Device details

All key operational information and historical trends on a single screen.

‍

SmartCloud processes thousands of registers per second in real time and supports data analysis, visualization, and archiving. The architecture is designed to allow deployment across hundreds of thousands of units worldwide. We designed and implemented the platform end-to-end — from architecture and data flows through UX to security and cloud infrastructure.

Deploying the SmartCloud platform brought a significant improvement in operational efficiency and telemetry data quality. The client gained a unified environment for generator management, continuous visibility into device status, and the ability to respond to operational situations in real time. SmartCloud has become a key part of the digital strategy and enables further development of services in the backup energy systems space.
