IoT: from physical sensors to real-time insights
The Internet of Things (IoT) opens the door to valuable, real-time insights into your physical processes. At VDS, we go beyond simply offering smart software: we also develop our own hardware—such as the IoT Gateway—so you can be sure of a fully integrated solution. Whether you aim to optimize production processes, reduce energy consumption, or predict maintenance schedules, as a full-service partner we handle the entire process.
From the initial sensor selection and setting up the Azure environment to building dashboards and training your team, we ensure your IoT solution integrates seamlessly into your operations. That way, you can immediately benefit from your data and make faster, better-informed decisions.

Fully integrated with Microsoft Azure and our IoT hardware
Fully integrated with Microsoft Azure and our IoT hardware
At VDS, we use Microsoft Azure as a robust backend for gathering, processing, and storing your sensor data. We also develop our own hardware to seamlessly connect your machines and sensors to the cloud—even when using industrial protocols like OPC UA or Modbus TCP. Thanks to our certified personnel, we can also install the hardware on-site, ensuring that every component is deployed professionally and safely. This connects everything, from production equipment and vehicles to energy consumers and environmental sensors.
From data to action
We don’t just set up the hardware and data processing; we also provide dashboards and alerts that offer immediately actionable insights. Whether you want to monitor KPIs, receive real-time alerts about malfunctions, or detect trends in energy consumption, we deliver an IoT solution that seamlessly aligns with your processes.
Iterative development and optimization
As with our other services (Analytics and Automation), we follow an iterative process. We begin with a proof of concept or pilot to test the hardware and software in your environment. We then refine the solution based on feedback, so you can see results quickly and continue to evolve over time.
Security and scalability first
Because IoT data is often critical to your business operations, we place strong emphasis on security and stability. We build on Azure’s scalable infrastructure and ensure that only authorized parties have access to sensitive data. This gives you a future-proof and secure solution that can grow alongside your organization without any issues.

Key Features
Key Features
VDS IoT goes beyond simply reading sensor data. We consider which devices, data, and parameters genuinely matter at an organizational level, how they relate to your KPIs, and how you can use this information to prevent downtime, boost productivity, and save energy. We achieve this with our own hardware, real-time dashboards, and smart alerts—so you can not only detect anomalies faster but also maintain ongoing control of the entire production process.

Real-time data acquisition
Our IoT hardware and connected sensors continuously send data to Azure. This means you always have the latest status of your production, logistics, or environmental parameters—without delays or manual input.

Condition monitoring and predictive maintenance
Using data analysis and AI models, you gain a foundation for predicting maintenance before a failure occurs. This extends the lifespan of machines and prevents unnecessary downtime.

Proactive alerts
When certain readings go beyond thresholds or potential malfunctions arise, we automatically notify the appropriate personnel. This lets you stay in control and respond quickly if needed.
