Context

Prodrive Technologies is a developer and manufacturer of world-class electronics. It comprises over 1100 employees and is one of the fastest growing companies in Europe. Our organization is mostly based on two groups: Development and Operations. The Development department is oriented at developing first-class electronic, mechanic and software solutions. The operations department is responsible for production, assembly, testing and life-cycle-management of electronic products and systems in the range of 1 to more than a million pieces per year.

Currently, Prodrive is developing an IoT Cloud for asset management. The assets are divided in two groups. Mobile assets like forklifts or agriculture equipment and fixed assets link industrial machinery. We supply these assets with a gateway that send the data over the mobile network to the IoT Cloud. We are responsible for the complete chain, starting from collecting data in the asset, transporting it over the mobile network (world-wide), storing the data in the Cloud and providing an API for retrieving the data. For the Cloud we use AWS from Amazon.
