IoT Cloud for a Semiconductor Company
From a small proof of concept to a production-grade platform managing telemetry from millions of connected appliances — built for a Fortune 500 semiconductor client over two years.
Our team was engaged by a Fortune 500 semiconductor company to build a cloud-based IoT platform to support a new chipset designed for mass-produced appliances. Alongside the hardware, the goal was to deliver a scalable service capable of managing and extracting value from data generated by millions of connected devices.
From proof of concept to production platform, until they built a team around it
-
Platform Architecture on AWS IoT Core
We architected the platform on AWS IoT Core from the ground up — designing for the scale and reliability requirements of a chipset destined for mass-produced consumer appliances. The architecture balanced device-side constraints with cloud-side operational demands across a large and growing fleet.
-
Secure Device Registration
We implemented secure device provisioning and registration flows, ensuring that each device in the field could be authenticated and enrolled into the platform reliably — a foundational requirement for a system operating at consumer electronics scale.
-
Device Shadow & Configuration Management
Configuration management was implemented through AWS IoT Device Shadows, enabling the platform to maintain the desired and reported state of every connected device — and to push configuration updates reliably even when devices are intermittently offline.
-
Large-Scale Telemetry Ingestion
The platform was designed to ingest and process high-volume telemetry streams from millions of devices in the field. We built the ingestion pipeline to handle sustained throughput while remaining cost-efficient — a meaningful engineering challenge at consumer appliance scale.
-
APIs for Downstream Applications
The system exposed robust APIs enabling downstream applications and services to access and act on device data in real time — giving the client's product teams a well-defined interface to build consumer-facing features on top of the platform.
-
Scale Testing & Iterative Enhancements
As the platform matured from proof of concept toward production readiness, we conducted extensive scale testing to validate behaviour under realistic fleet conditions. Each round of testing informed iterative enhancements — tightening the gap between projected and real-world performance.
-
Team Transition & Knowledge Transfer
As the platform reached maturity, we worked closely with the client to transition ownership to their internal engineering team. The handover was managed to ensure continuity — covering architecture, operational practices, and the accumulated knowledge built up over two years of iterative development.
