We develop IoT solutions for manufacturing and industry: machine connectivity, sensor data, dashboards and predictive maintenance.
IoT for Industry
From machine links (OPC UA, MQTT, custom protocols) to cloud and dashboards: we build the software that turns your machines and sensors into a connected, data-driven setup. Use cases: predictive maintenance, energy monitoring, production tracking, quality assurance. We use AWS IoT, Azure IoT or open-source as fits your needs.
IoT for industry means connecting existing equipment and production lines to a central platform so you get real-time data instead of isolated systems. We design solutions that fit your infrastructure: edge devices for local processing, secure connectivity to the cloud and dashboards that give operations and management the right level of insight. Data stays in your control and can be processed in the EU for GDPR compliance when required.
Predictive maintenance is one of the most valuable use cases: by analysing sensor data and machine behaviour we help you detect anomalies early and plan maintenance before failures occur. That reduces downtime and extends asset life. Energy monitoring and production tracking are equally common – we integrate with your MES and ERP so the IoT data flows into the systems you already use instead of creating another silo.
We support you from the first pilot to group rollout. That includes device selection, connectivity design, security and analytics. Our team is based in Germany and works to German quality and compliance standards – no offshoring, no language barriers. If you want to explore IoT for your machines and processes, we are happy to discuss your use case and outline a realistic roadmap in a free initial consultation.
“Industrial IoT needs device rotation and update policy—sensors without lifecycle become a security liability in two years.”
Thorsten Frieling, Senior Developer & Project Manager, Groenewold IT Solutions
The hardest part of industrial IoT is not the protocol—it is the operating model: who owns data, how alerts are handled and how the stack evolves after go-live. Use a short call to align your pilot with a realistic path from edge to dashboards and MES/ERP handover, based on how we deliver connected systems for clients.

Frequently Asked Questions
Machine connectivity, sensor data pipelines, predictive maintenance and dashboards – from edge to cloud. We design for your existing infrastructure and security requirements.
Pilot projects from around €20,000 excl. VAT; rollout depends on number of assets and integration depth. We quote after a short assessment.
We use EU/German hosting where required and design for data sovereignty. Edge processing is possible to reduce latency and data transfer.
Yes. We connect to MES, ERP, SCADA and cloud platforms via standard protocols and APIs.
„Industrial IoT needs clear edge-vs-cloud boundaries and robust telemetry—otherwise you drown in raw data without decision value.“

The approach described on this page is based on our experience from over 250 projects. We combine clear scoping, pragmatic technology choices, and measurable results. If your situation matches this solution, the next step is usually a short workshop or audit to prioritise measures and estimate effort. Many digitalisation projects are eligible for funding – we can advise you on suitable programmes.
