IoT consulting for usable machine and vehicle data

Many companies have long since arrived in the Internet of Things (IoT): Machines are networked, sensors provide measured values, vehicles transmit position data. The real problem begins afterwards: The data ends up in silos, is stored in different formats, doesn't find its way into business processes - and in the end, no one still makes better decisions than before.

IoT projects rarely fail because of the hardware. They fail due to a lack of strategy, the wrong choice of platform or because the path from raw data collection to real use was not thought through to the end.

This is exactly where prodot's IoT consulting comes in. We know both sides: the technical complexity of distributed sensor and device landscapes as well as the organizational requirements that arise when IoT data is to be integrated into SAP processes, customer portals or operational dashboards.

With our own IoT-X platform, many years of project experience on Microsoft Azure and a customer base that ranges from global industrial groups to municipal transport companies, we have the expertise to take IoT projects from pilot idea to productive reality.

Added value of our IoT consulting

The most important advantages

Quick start thanks to modular IoT platform instead of development from scratch


  • prodot's modular IoT platform is available in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace and comes with ready-to-use building blocks for data aggregation, dashboards, alerting and reporting
  • Industry-specific adaptations can be implemented in a short time-to-market - without months of basic development
  • Modular structure allows a lean start with an initial use case that is gradually expanded

IoT data directly into your business processes - fully automatically


  • Follow-up processes in SAP are triggered directly from evaluated IoT data: Maintenance orders, spare parts orders, machine time allocation or alarm messages - without any manual intermediate steps
  • Real-time dashboards and automated reports ensure that the right information reaches the right people at the right time
  • Integration into existing ERP, CRM and telematics systems via standardized APIs and a common data format

Proven references - from elevator monitoring to construction machinery management

  • TK Elevator: IoT customer portal visualizes operating data of MAX-enabled elevators in real time, enables predictive maintenance and reduces unplanned downtime
  • Kienzle Automotive: Highly available, multi-tenant telematics platform in the Azure Cloud - manufacturer-independent, scalable, compliance-compliant
  • Leading European road construction group: IoT platform aggregates data from CAT, Liebherr and MiX telematics systems, automatically synchronizes with SAP and demonstrably reduces fuel costs by 5-10%

Our IoT consulting - from strategy to scaled operation

IoT projects are complex and industry- and company-specific. We have experience from many implemented projects - and know where the typical pitfalls lie.

user-chart-light
IoT strategy & use case evaluation

Joint analysis of your processes, machines and data landscape - identification of IoT use cases with real ROI, prioritization according to effort and benefit potential and development of a realistic IoT roadmap that aligns technical feasibility and business goals.

ballot-check-light
Architecture & platform selection

Technology consulting to select the right IoT architecture on Microsoft Azure - IoT Hub, Event Hub, Stream Analytics, Azure Digital Twins or based on the modular prodot IoT-X Platform - tailored to data volumes, latency requirements, security specifications and integration needs.

sensor-smoke-light
Sensors, device connection & connectivity

Advice on the selection of suitable sensors and transmission technologies (MQTT, OPC-UA, REST, proprietary protocols) as well as on the manufacturer-independent connection of existing devices, machines and telematics systems to a central data platform - including normalization in a common data format.

code-light
IoT platform development & system integration

Development and configuration of customized IoT portals with live dashboards, geo-fencing, alarm management and reporting - as well as bidirectional integration into SAP, ERP, CRM and other peripheral systems for a continuous data flow without media discontinuity.

calendar-exclamation-light
Predictive maintenance & industrial analytics

Development of data-driven analysis and prediction models based on IoT sensor data - for early detection of anomalies, calculation of the remaining useful life of critical components and automated triggering of maintenance processes before an unplanned shutdown occurs.

cogs-light
Proof of concept, rollout & ongoing operation

Support from the initial proof of concept through the controlled pilot to the company-wide rollout - including operation, monitoring, scaling and further development of the IoT solution on Microsoft Azure with defined SLAs and a team that knows your solution from the outset.
