Connect your equipment to the systems that report on it

Machines, sensors and devices produce readings all day. Most of it never reaches anyone who can act on it. We build the link: from the device, through a pipeline you can trust, into a dashboard your team actually opens.

What this covers

Connect your equipment to the systems that report on it, end to end.

Device and sensor connectivity

We take readings off the equipment you already own. Serial, Modbus, MQTT, HTTP, or a gateway sitting next to the machine. Older kit usually needs a translation layer. We build that layer rather than asking you to replace the machine.

Data ingestion and pipelines

Readings arrive constantly and unevenly. We build the pipeline that receives them, validates them, handles duplicates and out-of-order messages, and stores them in a shape you can query later without a specialist.

Dashboards and reporting

A live view of what the equipment is doing, plus the historical reports that make it useful. Built for the people who actually read them: floor supervisors, maintenance leads, the person who signs off on downtime.

Alerting and thresholds

Rules that fire when a reading goes out of range, a device stops reporting, or a pattern repeats. Sent where people already look, not to a screen nobody watches. Tuned so alerts stay meaningful rather than ignored.

Integration with your existing systems

Device data is only useful next to everything else. We push readings into your ERP, maintenance system, CRM or internal tools, so a fault becomes a job and a job becomes a record without anyone retyping it.

Edge processing and offline handling

Sites lose connectivity. We buffer readings locally, sync when the link returns, and run the checks that cannot wait for a round trip to the cloud. Nothing is lost because a router rebooted.

How it runs

Plan. Build. Run.

01

Thirty minute call

You tell us what equipment you have, what you want to know about it, and what happens today instead. We say plainly whether this is something we can build and where the hard parts sit.

02

Fixed scope and price

We write down the devices in scope, the readings we will capture, the dashboards and alerts we will build, and the systems we will integrate with. One timeline, one price, agreed before any work starts.

03

Build and prove it on site

We connect one machine or one line first and get the data flowing end to end. You see real readings before we scale out. Then we roll the same pattern across the rest of the equipment.

04

Run it with you

Once it is live we monitor the pipeline, fix what breaks against response targets, apply security updates, and send a monthly report. Improvements continue rather than stopping at handover.

Why infoloop

We do not hand over and leave.

  • We run it after we build itDevice pipelines break quietly. A gateway reboots, a sensor drifts, a feed stops. Our retainer covers monitoring, fixes with response targets and a monthly report, so you are not the one noticing.
  • We work with the equipment you haveReplacing machines to make a data project work is rarely the right answer. We build the translation layer around older kit and take readings from what is already on the floor.
  • We connect to the rest of your stackReadings on their own change nothing. We push them into the ERP, maintenance system or internal tools you already use, so the data lands where decisions are made.
  • Fixed scope before we startYou get the devices, readings, dashboards and integrations written down with one timeline and one price. Scope changes are agreed, not billed as a surprise at the end.
  • We build systems, not proofs of conceptA pilot that works on a good day is not the goal. We plan for lost connectivity, duplicate messages and failed devices from the first line of code.

What you get

Every engagement includes these, in writing, before work starts.

  • A working connection from your equipment to a data pipeline you own
  • A live dashboard showing current state, plus historical reporting
  • Alert rules routed to the channels your team already uses
  • Integration into your existing ERP, maintenance or internal systems
  • Offline buffering so readings survive a dropped connection
  • Documentation covering the setup, the data model and how to add devices

Who this is for

Three situations where this is the right call.

Equipment that reports nothing

You have machines running every day and no idea how they performed until someone walks over and checks. Utilisation, downtime and fault history all live in people's heads or on a clipboard.

Data that exists but goes nowhere

The machines already produce readings. They sit in a vendor portal nobody logs into, or export to a spreadsheet once a month. Nothing is connected to the systems your team actually works in.

A pilot that stalled

Someone connected one machine, built a demo, and it never went further. The proof worked but nothing was built to survive lost connectivity, more devices, or the person who set it up leaving.

Questions

What buyers ask us first.

Do we need to replace our existing machines?
Usually not. Most equipment already produces some signal, and where it does not, a sensor or gateway can be added alongside it. infoloop builds the translation layer between older machinery and modern systems, reading from serial, Modbus, MQTT or HTTP as the equipment allows. Replacement only makes sense when a machine genuinely exposes nothing and cannot take a sensor, and we will tell you that on the first call rather than after you have paid for a discovery phase. The point of the work is to get value from what you already own.
What does an IoT project cost and how is it scoped?
Every engagement starts with a thirty minute call, after which infoloop writes down a fixed scope, timeline and price before any building begins. That scope names the devices, the readings, the dashboards, the alerts and the systems we will integrate with. Cost depends on how many device types are involved, how difficult they are to read from, and how many systems the data has to reach. One machine type feeding one dashboard is a small piece of work. Multiple sites, mixed equipment and several integrations is larger. You see the number before you commit.
What happens after the system goes live?
infoloop runs it. The managed retainer covers monitoring of the pipeline and devices, fixes with agreed response targets, ongoing improvements, security updates and a monthly report on what happened and what changed. This matters more for connected equipment than for most software, because device pipelines fail quietly: a gateway reboots, a sensor drifts, a feed stops and the dashboard keeps showing the last known value. Someone has to be watching for that. We build and we run, rather than handing over and leaving.
What happens when a site loses internet connectivity?
Readings are buffered locally at the edge and synced once the connection returns, so nothing is lost because a router rebooted or a line went down overnight. Checks that cannot wait for a round trip to the cloud run locally too, which means threshold alerts still fire during an outage. This is designed in from the start rather than added later, because sites with machinery rarely have the network reliability of an office. When the link comes back, the historical record fills in correctly instead of leaving a gap.
Can device data feed into our ERP or maintenance system?
Yes, and this is usually where the value sits. Readings on their own change very little. Pushed into the systems your team already works in, a fault becomes a job, a job becomes a record, and utilisation becomes a report someone can act on. infoloop builds these integrations as part of the engagement, working with whatever you already run rather than asking you to adopt a new platform. Where an API exists we use it. Where one does not, we discuss the practical options with you before scoping the work.
How long does it take to get something working?
The first connection comes early. infoloop starts by getting one machine or one line reporting end to end, so you see real readings from your own equipment before the rest is built out. That proves the hard part: that we can read the device, move the data reliably and display it usefully. Once that pattern works, rolling it across the remaining equipment is repetition rather than discovery. The full timeline depends on how many device types and integrations are in scope, and it is written down and fixed before work begins.
