Efficiency through IoT measurement data platform
Efficient product development
Efficient product development through centralized data access and simplified evaluation – the new IoT measurement data platform from ZF makes it possible. Homogeneous test data and a central storage location improve the comparability and further utilization of the information. The result: greater employee efficiency, less time and effort for vehicle tests and long-term cost savings.
Optimized management and analysis of measurement data from different business areas
ZF's global product development required more efficient management and analysis of measurement data from different business units.
In addition, the platform needed to be flexibly integrated into the current operating processes in order to save time and costs in development.
Previous systems were characterized by distributed and partly local storage, which led to poor retrievability and inefficient data analysis processes.
A central, scalable IoT measurement data platform
Efficient data analysis
doubleSlash developed and integrated a centralized,
scalable IoT measurement data platform that provides unified storage and advanced analytics for
significant data volumes.
Smooth process integration
This solution has been seamlessly integrated into ZF's existing operating processes and now enables more efficient development through fast, centralized access to relevant measurement data.
doubleSlash services and technologies
- When developing the solution, we placed great emphasis on implementing the doubleSlash principles of automation, scalability, sustainability, quality and repeatability.
- This approach and principles have ensured a structured and scalable solution for processing the large volume of data.
- Our project management team led the coordination of subcontracts and the collaboration with ZF's IT departments.
Software Factory
Throughout the entire project cycle, from preliminary analysis to handover to the customer, we applied the "doubleSlash Software Creation Chain" of our Software Factory, with which we develop value-added products for our customers.
IoT-Agent
In the course of development, the doubleSlash IoT solution was used to create a modern, cloud-based solution. The "IoT Agent" enables a quick and easy connection to the test benches and vehicles.
Data Factory
The solution has the ability to record, create, analyze and enrich data from test benches and vehicles. This central aspect of the solution was implemented using the latest technologies from our Data Factory. The data can be searched and analyzed using various criteria, with metadata being managed efficiently. The use of Azure cloud technology and the implementation of cloud middleware ensured a high level of data security and reliability. Comprehensive API management enables data downloads and connections to Python libraries. In addition, 3rd party data can be retrieved from other databases.
