Edge-to-cloud integration

Data must arrive useful, understandable and operable.

We design or integrate the complete chain between assets and applications. When decisions are still open, we evaluate hardware, gateways, protocols and cloud services together; the result is a system that can be configured, diagnosed and updated.

Two technicians commission an edge gateway and telemetry dashboard at an industrial installation.

Field commissioning

The flow is accepted where it must operate.

Installation, local diagnostics and cloud telemetry are observed in the same context, including latency, network loss and data recovery.

DATA PATH / 01—06

From signal to operations, with no gaps in ownership.

We follow timestamps, quality, identity and data state across six stages. Every interface has a contract and verifiable behaviour.

01

Acquisition

Sensors, buses, timestamps, calibration, quality and frequency.

02

Edge

Normalisation, local rules, buffering, compression and store-and-forward.

03

Transport

MQTT/HTTPS, TLS, topics and payloads, QoS, retries and session handling.

04

Ingestion

Device registry, authentication, routing, validation and quarantine.

05

Data & APIs

Hot/cold storage, aggregation, events, APIs and integration.

06

Operations

Dashboards, alerts, commands, configuration, OTA and observability.

CONNECTIVITY STATES

We design for the moments when the network is not there.

Nominal connectivity is only one system state. Buffers, local rules, synchronisation and recovery are designed before field acceptance.

01 / ONLINE

Connected

Continuous delivery, acknowledgements, latency metrics and device state.

02 / DEGRADED

Intermittent

Backoff retries, deduplication, priorities and store-and-forward.

03 / OFFLINE

Disconnected

Local rules, sized buffers, reliable timestamps and diagnostics.

04 / RECOVERY

Recovery

Ordered replay, reconciliation, quality checks and return to nominal flow.

DELIVERABLES

Typical technical outputs

We document what is required to implement, accept and operate the flow over time.

  • 01Context and deployment diagrams
  • 02Protocol and interface matrix
  • 03Versioned data contracts
  • 04Threat model and identity
  • 05Offline strategy and failure modes
  • 06Provisioning and OTA plan
  • 07Dashboards and alert flows
  • 08End-to-end test plan and runbooks

A flow to design or integrate?

Connect assets, edge and cloud through to operational acceptance.

We define protocols, offline behaviour, identity, observability and interfaces around the system’s actual requirements.
