Solving Automotive Data Challenges with Scalable Telemetry Systems
Client Background:
With a focus on connected vehicles, a major global automobile manufacturer runs a sizable fleet of millions of vehicles installed with Internet of Things sensors that gather and send real-time telemetry data. By tracking everything from safety features to vehicle performance, these sensors provide insightful information that improves both driving safety and enjoyment.
The organization, which is dedicated to being at the forefront of innovation, aimed to enhance its capacity to handle and analyze the enormous amounts of data produced every day, guaranteeing scalability and effectiveness as its data requirements increase.
Challenges:
Data overload and storage management were the company's biggest problems. The massive amount of telemetry data produced by millions of connected vehicles easily overwhelmed the capability of the storage infrastructure that was in place, which was not scalable enough to effectively manage present and future data expansion without impairing system performance.
Along with data overload, the organization also had to deal with uneven data quality because of chaotic, vague, or incomplete telemetry data from IoT devices, which made it difficult to get reliable insights for safety and optimization. Latency delayed critical decisions, while scattered data across systems complicated integration. The company also needed scalable infrastructure to support fleet growth.
