Case Study: ERA achieves real-time racing insights with Software AG

ERA - Customer Case Study

ERA, the Electric Racing Academy, is the world’s first all-electric junior formula racing series. As it set out to make motorsports more sustainable, accessible, and engaging, ERA faced the challenge of improving the racing experience for drivers, engineering teams, and fans while delivering real-time data for coaching and lowering barriers to entry. ERA chose Software AG, using webMethods.io and the Cumulocity IoT Platform with Thin Edge and AWS Cloud.

Software AG implemented a connected-car IoT setup with a Thin Edge device in ERA’s F110e race car, streaming live telemetry from the track to the cloud. This gave ERA high-frequency, real-time data on speed, acceleration, torque, RPMs, temperature, and regenerative braking, delivering live insights at a level previously seen only in F1. The result was better real-time collaboration, improved fan engagement, and a more accessible racing model for a new generation of talent.
