Relayr is a leader in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), providing the most comprehensive solutions for a risk-free digital transformation and guiding businesses through the transition to Equipment as a Service.

By combining innovative IIoT technology and solutions with powerful business services such as IoT Financial Services or bespoke transformation de-risking instruments – all from a single source – Relayr enables industrial firms to migrate from CAPEX to OPEX-based offerings. Manufacturers, operators, and service providers for industrial equipment can use relayr to develop completely interoperable Industrial IoT solutions that will help them achieve their digital and Equipment as a Service transformation goals, regardless of where they start.

The end-to-end IoT platform, which includes data management middleware, data analytics, sensor/ gateway-level device management, and connectivity with third-party IT systems, is relayr’s main value proposition to clients. “Because relayr works with brownfield deployments, it’s critical to integrate the platform with existing systems like MES and ERP,” explains Brunner. Relayr offers sensor interoperability with legacy systems through retrofitting, allowing enabling the extraction of critical streams of machine data. On-site gateways filter the data obtained from multiple systems before processing it. The platform’s middleware module normalizes data from many entities so that it can be exposed to analytics for predictive maintenance and machine anomaly detection.

Relayr uses a consultative approach to understand client needs and establish the best course of action for resolving issues.

The platform is typically deployed at a customer site using two types of integration: south-bound and north-bound. The south-bound integration is primarily concerned with sourcing and processing machine data utilizing middleware and analytics, to provide visibility into a client’s environment’s potential and breadth. North-bound integration, on the other hand, is concerned with SAP, MES, ERP, and other modules being integrated to scale processes globally and improve efficiency.

Several mid-market manufacturers in the automobile, packaging and chemical sectors have formed relationships with relayr to ensure business outcomes through insurance. Brunner the CEO of the company gives the example of an automotive supply chain organization that tests the mechanical components of automobiles and engines. The client needed a solution to aggregate diverse data streams from all 200 micro-production units. Not only could the customer view operations and data flow across all 200 sites using relayr’s IoT platform, but he could also predict malfunctions of various testing systems based on data and deploy service teams quickly.

To decrease the requirement for specialized solutions, relayr’s roadmap includes supplying “virtually integrated products” for various verticals. To improve its IoT platform, the company welcomes feedback from partners, customers, and developers. Relayr collaborates closely with over 7000 enthusiastic software developers to further enhance the platform with features desired by clients. The new functionalities will almost certainly usher in a new era of industrial IoT.

Relayr’s diverse global teams include people of all ages and backgrounds from over 20 different countries. The organization creates a focused, disciplined, “get it done” culture, led by an experienced leadership team with deep roots in technology and industry. Anyone with the relevant talents and the will to change the future of industries is invited to join relayr. The relayr family has members in Germany, the United States, Poland, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
