Case Study: Unomic achieves real-time IIoT streaming and cuts software costs 30% and hardware costs 50% with Akka Platform

Unomic Empowers Manufacturers and Healthcare Providers to Boost Quality and Speed with Advanced AI and IIoT Solutions

Unomic, founded in 2006 in Busan, South Korea, provides the ELFiNOS cloud machine-learning platform for healthcare and manufacturing customers. Facing OEM pressures for faster, higher-quality, cost-controlled production, Unomic needed a way to integrate diverse, best-of-breed automation systems and reliably capture IIoT/edge data to feed ELFiNOS for real-time decision support and automated workflows.

Unomic rebuilt ELFiNOS around a reactive microservices architecture using Lightbend’s Akka Platform to stream edge data to the cloud with high scalability and low operational overhead. The change cut software development costs by 30% and hardware costs by 50%, enabled end-to-end factory automation (Doosan saw lead times cut by eight hours, defects halved from 1,000 to 500 ppm, and asset utilization rise from 56% to 70%), and supported a healthcare pilot that achieved >91% accuracy detecting dementia from MRI scans.
