Konecto is a company based in the Southern United States that operates in the field of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. They offer a range of products, including sensors and gateways, along with technical support to assist clients at all stages of IoT project implementation. Specializing in IoT solutions, CrazyTechLabs was chosen by Konecto for the design, development, and implementation of a comprehensive solution for a global player in the Oil and Gas industry.
The partnership between CrazyTechLabs and Konecto resulted in the creation of a comprehensive solution for monitoring and management of devices, focusing on Valves and Servos. The solution involves the use of Microsoft Azure and LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network). Leveraging Azure services, CrazyTechLabs' solution offers a secure and scalable ecosystem for efficient data collection, storage, and processing from the monitored devices. This allows end clients of the valves to access real-time information, driving informed and timely decision-making, as well as a complete understanding of equipment operator behavior.
The employed LoRaWAN technology ensures reliable and long-range connectivity, crucial for the challenging environments of the Oil and Gas industry. Through this network, devices can transmit data effectively, enabling precise monitoring even in remote or difficult-to-access areas. Furthermore, CrazyTechLabs incorporated essential features into the system, such as Ethernet IP integration for device communication and the management platform. The use of Azure Cosmos DB ensures secure data storage and fast data retrieval, contributing to the system's reliability and continuous availability.
CrazyTechLabs also addressed security needs and user segregation, ensuring that different levels of access are strictly controlled. This allows stakeholders to access only the information relevant to their roles.
The developed solution offers a range of highly valuable features, including email notifications, custom alarm configuration, and different levels of visualization. This enables Oil and Gas industry operators to stay informed about anomalies or critical events, while device management capabilities ensure efficient control of monitored assets. Real-time data monitoring has been crucial, providing a comprehensive view of ongoing operations. The ability to track data in real-time is a crucial advantage in the Oil and Gas industry, where the accuracy and speed of information can directly influence operational efficiency and safety.
