# IoT & Digital Twin [IoT & Digital Twin](https://iits-consulting.de/en/services/iot/iot-digital-twin) ## IoT & Digital Twin Your machines already sense more than they show. We connect them to the cloud and build a live digital twin, a working model of the real thing that updates as it does. From a single status alert to a full virtual plant, you decide how far it goes. Either way, you see what's happening and act on it in time.

The Internet of Things is changing the way we view and interact with devices that were once considered simple. Even small industrial load carriers are becoming smart devices. We advise you on how to simplify your processes step by step through digitalization and create virtual representations of your physical objects, machines, or their states. We specialize in designing and implementing everything from simple status update emails to complex digital twins using the latest technologies. ### From connected device to living model A digital twin is only as good as the data feeding it. We wire up the full path first, sensors, connectivity, and the cloud that ingests it all, then build the twin on top. The result mirrors your physical setup closely enough to test against without touching the real thing. ### Built on the cloud, ready for the edge The important decisions can't always wait for a round trip to the cloud. We split the work so routine logic runs on the device itself and the heavy lifting happens centrally, which keeps your operation running even when the connection drops. ### Test it before the hardware arrives You don't have to wait for physical devices to start. We run the whole setup against simulated ones first, so the software is built, tested, and ready by the time the real hardware lands. It's how we cut the delivery risk before it can bite. ## Features of our cloud-based IoT solutions Everything it takes to run connected devices reliably, from real-time oversight to maintenance you handle without leaving your desk. ### Live Monitoring, Error Analysis, and Alerting See what your devices are doing in real time, with errors flagged the moment they happen. ### Remote maintenance Push updates and back up data over the air, with no site visit needed. ### Manual or automatic control Operate devices by hand from a web app, or let them run on their own. ### Edge computing Run complex logic on the device itself, so it keeps working even when the cloud doesn't. ### Virtual commissioning Set up and test the system against simulated devices before the hardware is live. ### Predictive maintenance Spot failures before they happen, using telemetry and past faults. ### Connect the devices We get your sensors and machines talking to the cloud reliably, over the protocols they already speak. Step 01 ### Bring the data together We ingest and stream the device data into one place, cleaned and structured enough to act on. Step 02 ### Build the twin We model your physical setup as a live digital twin that mirrors the real thing in real time. Step 03 ### Act on it We turn the twin into alerts, controls, and predictions, so the data drives real decisions on the floor. Step 04 ## Our Work [Fibre Rollout Contract Management for Broadband Services](https://iits-consulting.de/en/portfolio/fibre-rollout-contract-management-for-broadband-services/index.md) The development of a central, audit-proof contract management system for fibre rollout, including transparent document storage, deadline tracking and a KPI dashboard. [Web-Based Order Management for Construction Sites](https://iits-consulting.de/en/portfolio/web-based-order-management-for-construction-sites/index.md) The transformation of an old desktop application into a web-based construction order management system, including functional enhancements.

Here are a few sectors where we connect it up. ### Manufacturing & Logistics Connect machines and lines to run predictive maintenance and keep the shop floor visible in real time. ### Energy & Utilities Bring smart-meter and grid data together, with digital twins over field infrastructure for planning and control. ### Real Estate & Facility Management Sensor and meter data from across a portfolio, pulled into one live view over protocols like BACnet and Modbus. ### Mobility & Transport Connected infrastructure and fleets, turning live telemetry into decisions that keep things moving. As part of our innovation project, the iits team designed the entire Azure Cloud and IoT infrastructure in close and trusting collaboration with our IT architecture team and implemented it using the latest technologies. Even before the actual IoT devices were delivered, we were able to use simulated devices to develop our web application with AI-based fleet management and optimize it for efficient operation. In addition to their high level of technical expertise, it is worth highlighting how pleasant the collaboration with iits has been. We quickly established a very trusting and effective working atmosphere within the team, and iits demonstrated a very high level of commitment to our new IT product at all times, so that there was never any discernible difference between “internal” and “external” at any point. Not only was the result impressive, but the journey to get there was also enjoyable.
