About MicroSysLogic
MicroSysLogic specializes in IoT-driven solar energy solutions that enable smarter, cleaner, and more efficient power generation. Their platform monitors solar panel performance, tracks energy output, and provides intelligent insights to optimize solar energy systems for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
The Challenge
MicroSysLogic sought to scale its IoT ecosystem to manage a growing fleet of solar installations across various geographies. Their key challenges included:
- Secure Device Communication: Ensuring secure, encrypted communication between remote solar IoT devices and the cloud.
- Real-time Energy Analytics: Processing real-time data from solar inverters, sensors, and meters for live dashboards and fault detection.
- Scalability: Accommodating rapid deployment of thousands of new devices as the company expanded its footprint.
- Cost-Efficient Infrastructure: Avoiding resource overprovisioning while maintaining performance.
- Remote Management & Automation: Automating firmware updates, configurations, and device health checks from a central dashboard.
To overcome these hurdles, MicroSysLogic partnered with Vcloudmaster to architect and deploy a robust, cloud-native IoT infrastructure on AWS.
The Solution
Vcloudmaster implemented an intelligent, scalable IoT framework designed specifically for solar infrastructure. Key components included:
- AWS IoT Core for secure device connectivity and message routing between edge solar devices and the cloud.
- AWS Lambda to automate event-driven processes such as alerting, fault detection, and energy threshold triggers.
- AWS SageMaker to build, train, and deploy machine learning models that forecast solar output, detect anomalies in energy production, and recommend proactive maintenance actions.
- AWS CloudFormation to manage and deploy infrastructure consistently across multiple solar projects.
- AWS Systems Manager to automate software updates, configurations, and secure access across thousands of devices.
- Amazon RDS for storing user data, site configurations, and analytics reports in a highly available environment.
- AWS CloudFront for low-latency global content delivery of dashboards and monitoring tools.
- Amazon GuardDuty provides continuous threat detection using machine learning and threat intelligence to identify and protect against malicious activity in AWS accounts and workloads.
- AWS WAF safeguards the application from common web exploits by filtering and monitoring HTTP/HTTPS requests at the ALB level.
- Amazon CloudWatch collects and monitors logs, metrics, and events from IoT devices, applications, and AWS resources to deliver real-time visibility and automated alerts for maintaining performance and availability.
