IIoT Platform For Building Smart Solutions

What do our clients say?

“We collect data from our machines around the world continuously”

Now we have a perfect overview of the state and condition of all devices and the behavior of our customers.We understand the workload of all appliances, customer preferences, and consumption of individual types of coffee.

Marc Biermann

CTO, CUP&CINO

“Data is gathered from more than 30,000 machines”

We can remotely configure and monitor all machines using simple tools with the ultimate goal of making the process fully automated in the future, such that the need to visit them physically is dramatically reduced.

Kris Hayes

Lead Data Engineer, Lely Industries

“Always looking for a solution that might not be the easiest but the right one.”

I´ve been working with the platform for over three years on its applications in the field. The team consistently succeeded in breaking out of their bubble, listened and discussed with me our customers' "real world" problems.

Security of your data in the first place

Storage encryption

We always encrypt user data at rest with AES-256. More specifically, data is stored in Microsoft Azure Blob storage, periodically audited by independent, third-party firms, and compliant with SOC, ISO, HIPAA, and other standards.

Data isolation

We isolate customer data by using dedicated Azure Storage accounts. Customers might also opt to store data in a custom Microsoft Azure Storage account that they fully control instead of using accounts managed by Spotflow.
For customers with the most strict security needs, a dedicated platform instance can be deployed to their Azure Subscription.

Transit security & zero-trust

All user data in transit is encrypted. We force devices to use at least TLS 1.2 when communicating with the platform. Data remains encrypted all the way to the target storage, even in queues and other intermediate locations. Once the data reaches the cloud, it does not leave the Azure backbone network unless explicitly exported by customers. We follow the principle of zero-trust. Instead of relying on VPNs, we validate the identity of each customer device and internal service on each interaction.

Access governance

Users interacting with the platform are authenticated with Auth0, one of the leading identity providers. Users can create a new account for the Spotflow platform or reuse their existing account in one of several third-party identity providers. We encourage our users to adhere to the principle of least privilege by providing granular, easy-to-use access control.

How Spotflow platform is built

Infrastructure

Spotlow platform is built with the infrastructure provided by Microsoft Azure, such as Storage, IoT Hub, Kubernetes, or Event Hubs.

SaaS or dedicated instance

The platform is ready to run not only as a SaaS but also can be deployed to customers' isolated Azure environments, where it can be integrated on the VNET level. This does not mean that customers not using Azure are anyhow limited.

Data consistency

Above all else, our architecture aims to guarantee zero data loss and consistency, including data ordering, even in the face of infrastructure and software faults. When hard decisions must be made, we lean towards data consistency to the detriment of latency. All data is stored in at least three replicas, giving yearly durability over 99.999999999% (11 nines).

Platform resilience

Our APIs and other services, where possible, run in multiple replicas distributed over multiple machines. This ensures that updates, restarts, or other disruptive events are not observable to customers in most cases.

We can safely deploy changes multiple times per day. This allows us to make new features available to customers early on and fix issues quickly and in a controllable manner.

Peek inside the platform

Observe your solution's high-level statistics to check its performance. Check data transfer stats, new devices deployed to the field, or alerts coming from your fleet.

Quickly understand the state of your device fleet via a single pane of glass without costly on-site visits. Check devices that misbehave and require your attention. Fix the issues when they occur.

Live configuration that targets a group of devices. Any change to the configuration is eventually applied to the group, keeping devices always up to date, no matter whether currently connected or disconnected.

Collect machine data and route them to various storages and apps.

For improved security, when a device connects for the first time, the operator needs to approve it. Once the device is approved, it gains access to all features, such as remote configuration.
