AWS Migration for a Smart Agri IoT Solution
Case Study
AWS Migration for a Smart Agri IoT Solution
AWS cloud migration of smart agriculture IoT platform for 5000+ connected pumps with 100K+ edge nodes, reduced operational cost, improved performance monitoring of field devices
Executive Summary
eInfochips developed a Smart Agri platform that helped the client achieve crop productivity improvement by leveraging clean energy, efficient water supply through pump control and helped in farmland monitoring by leveraging data collected through sensors. The platform also provided information services to farmers, researchers and agricultural institutes via an easy-to-use interface and APIs.
Client
A billion-dollar electronics manufacturing company, focusing on electronic, automobiles, and commercial equipment’s. The client also provides smart Agri IoT solutions
Challenge
The client had a smart Agri IoT platform. The architecture of this platform was old (built using Java Spring-boot, hosted using Apache Tomcat, and the data aggregation service used Fluentd, Apache Spark & Kafka), and was not able to manage the scalability and the large volume of data related to energy, water supply, and farmland, from sensors on a daily basis.
The client wanted to upgrade the platform to a technology which could not only handle the large volumes of sensor data, but also reduce operational costs.
