Marlabs: Predictive Analytics & Edge Solutions for Industrial IoT

Manufacturers across industries are rapidly turning to Industrial-Internet-of-Things (IIoT) solutions to meet their business needs through intelligent and automated actions predictively. IIoT is all about creating an environment where information from machinery, plant floor, and even supply chain is captured all along in real-time and turned into actionable insights. One of the organizations to dominate the IIoT solutions landscape today is Marlabs. The IIoT and AI platform developed by the company monitors industrial machinery and undertakes predictive maintenance by deploying smart sensors and actuators in manufacturing plants. Raj Reddy, Managing Director, Marlabs adds, “IIoT is one of our core focus areas, where we offer end-to-end services to the large industries.”

The company deploys IoT solutions based on two key strategies: IoT platform based solutions and behavioral IoT development. In a manufacturing facility, Marlabs installs smart sensors, nodes and gateways and inducts the customer to Marlabs' next generation IIoT and AI platform. Huge volumes of data sent by the sensors are accumulated and processed by the company’s big data IoT and advanced analytics layers to predict the behavior of the machinery and derive valuable insights. The security and latency issues are taken care of by integrating edge analytics and advanced safety capabilities in the platform layer. Reddy elucidates, “To a prospective customer, we can demonstrate the tangible value that our solutions bring to the table by leveraging our Sense+Connect and mAdvisor platforms.”

Marlabs' IoT lab carries out cutting-edge research on IoT solutions and solves some of the toughest industry wide challenges

Marlabs' IoT lab carries out cutting-edge research on IoT solutions and solves some of the toughest industry wide challenges. Varying speed and scalability needs of the IoT systems are among these grave challenges today. The company solves this problem by deploying custom built solutions and by scaling them up attuned to a specific set of connected ecosystems. Generic requirements such as monitoring health and environmental parameters are also delivered using customized solutions. For instance, Marlabs has developed a digital Airline IoT solution for an Airline customer.

Unlike the big players—who offer pay-as-you-go, Marlabs offers custom designed IoT platforms and solutions, which are tailored to client's needs and invariably prove to be cost effective in the long run. Marlabs' custom designed digital IoT transportation platform, for instance, takes care of a plethora of carriage industry use cases and is one of the most cost effective implementations in the market today.

For a life sciences company that needed to digitize and connect all its laboratories and devices across the world, Marlabs built a customized digital IoT life science platform. The platform connects all lab devices and monitors health parameters real-time. An innovative LabHub AI bot designed by the company acts as an intelligent gateway for the lab devices to connect with the secure IoT cloud platform.

The company has also developed a context driven content publishing platform targeting retail market. IoT devices monitor customer behavior and send data to Marlabs' cloud platform, where they are picked up by the Data Analytics layer to analyze and find deterministic patterns. Insights from customer data are then used to publish personalized content, with coupons, promos, and discounts on specific items. So far, the company has served clients from across the world and plans to expand its reach further. “We welcome businesses to come and experience our industry-leading manufacturing, intelligent factory, and smart IoT solutions,” enunciates Reddy.
