Case Study: Electrolux achieves cost-effective connected services with MongoDB Atlas

Electrolux connects 6 million appliances with MongoDB Atlas

Electrolux, a global appliance manufacturer, sought to transition from a hardware company to a service provider offering connected, subscription-based experiences. Their challenge was a monolithic backend infrastructure that couldn't scale or perform adequately to handle data from millions of connected devices, slowing innovation and time-to-market. To build a new IoT platform, they turned to MongoDB and its product MongoDB Atlas.

The solution involved implementing MongoDB Atlas as a flexible, cloud-agnostic platform to consolidate IoT data. It processes 12 million events per hour from millions of appliances, using geo-sharding for data locality. With MongoDB, Electrolux achieved a scalable platform supporting over 6 million connected devices, reduced development overheads by up to three times, and accelerated code reviews five times faster, enabling faster rollout of new direct-to-consumer services.
