Event-Driven Predictive Maintenance Architecture

Key Points

  • Koni manufactures elevators, escalators, auto‑walks, and doors, generating continuous streams of device data that require scalable processing.
  • They employ an event‑driven architecture with IBM Cloud Functions to ingest, persist, and emit events that feed downstream applications and user analytics.
  • Their analytics platform uses this data to predict equipment failure rates, enabling predictive maintenance as part of a 24/7 connected service offering.
  • The solution relies on multiple IBM Cloud services—including storage, messaging, IoT, and serverless functions—and the footprint is expected to expand as their digital presence grows.

0:04Koni we manufacture elevators escalators 0:08auto walks and doors all of these 0:11devices are streams of data that we are 0:14collecting in order to process those 0:17streams we need a scalable way of handle 0:21the amount of data that is coming in and 0:22that's where cloud function fits in 0:25perfectly we handle that data with 0:29event-driven architecture we use 0:31functions to persist that data and to 0:33generate further events on that data 0:35that are then utilized and consumed by 0:37applications and our customers and users 0:40in our analytics platform we analyzed 0:43the set of data and we generate value 0:46predictive in a sense that we can 0:48predict the failure rate to a certain 0:52percentage that is about to happen in 0:54the future for our equipment and this 0:56allows us to perform predictive 0:59maintenance and this is kind of the 1:01whole concept that we have behind our 1:0324/7 connected services which is a 1:05promise to our customers that the 1:08equipment is connected to the cloud and 1:10we are monitoring it and that's where we 1:12generate the real a value for our 1:14customer from me mr. Spector at the 1:17moment we use almost all aspects of the 1:20IBM cloud we use storage from the cloud 1:23we use cloud function we use messaging 1:25services we use IOT services so a number 1:28of services already in use and platform 1:31and that use will only grow as our 1:33digital footprint in in the industry 1:36grows 1:37[Music]
