Case Study: Global Industrial Manufacturing Company extends IoT to the edge with Nordcloud and AWS Greengrass

The Power of Cloud to the Edge of IoT

Global Industrial Manufacturing Company, a manufacturing customer, needed to extend IoT intelligence beyond the cloud for heavy-duty industrial machines with real-time requirements. The company wanted a way to manage and deploy functionality centrally while processing data locally at the edge, and Nordcloud helped them explore this using AWS Greengrass.

Nordcloud implemented a lean pilot using AWS Greengrass, deploying Node.js Lambda functions on edge devices to calculate KPI values from local MQTT data and then securely route the data to the cloud for validation and storage. As a result, Global Industrial Manufacturing Company became the first company in its industry worldwide to adopt the innovation, gaining new IoT capabilities and a competitive differentiator, while Nordcloud continued the relationship for future cloud initiatives.
