DESSS provides IoT consulting services in San Antonio for organizations that want real-time visibility into equipment, facilities and assets. We help choose the right use cases, design the device-to-cloud architecture, run pilots and scale what works.
San Antonio’s economy includes automotive and advanced manufacturing, municipal utilities, a large healthcare and biosciences sector, military installations and logistics operations around Port San Antonio. Each brings IoT opportunities, from predictive maintenance on production lines to tracking temperature-sensitive medical supplies.
Because many of these environments are industrial or regulated, security is part of the design from the first pilot. See our main IoT consulting page and our OT and IoT security services.
Start with the outcome
Less downtime, lower energy use or better visibility: we start with the result you need.
End to end
Devices, connectivity, cloud platform, dashboards and integration with your existing systems.
Secure devices
Device identity, network segmentation and patching planned from the pilot onward.
How we work in San Antonio
Remote delivery with on-site sessions in San Antonio, from our Houston headquarters and Austin office.
SAN ANTONIO SCENARIOS
IoT consulting projects we see in San Antonio
These are the IoT projects San Antonio organizations ask us about most.
Production line monitoring
Vibration, temperature and cycle data from equipment to reduce unplanned downtime.
Energy and utilities
Metering and monitoring for facilities, pumps and distribution equipment.
Healthcare cold chain
Temperature monitoring for medications, samples and supplies, with alerts and audit logs.
Fleet and logistics
Location and condition tracking for vehicles, trailers and shipments.
Facility operations
Occupancy, HVAC and equipment data to cut energy use and maintenance calls.
Secure industrial networks
Segmented networks and device identity for connected OT equipment.
IOT CAPABILITIES
What our IoT consulting covers
IoT projects touch hardware, networks, software and operations. These are the areas we help with.
Use case and ROI
Which IoT projects pay off? The strongest IoT business cases usually involve expensive downtime, energy use, compliance monitoring or assets that are hard to track. We estimate value before any hardware is bought.
–Use case workshops
–Value and cost model
–Pilot success criteria
–Scale-up plan
Devices, gateways and edge
Which sensors and gateways should we use? We select sensors and gateways for the environment, power and connectivity available, and decide what processing happens at the edge versus in the cloud to manage latency and bandwidth.
Read our guide to edge versus cloud for industrial IoT.
–Sensor selection
–Gateway and protocol choice
–Edge processing rules
–Connectivity planning
Cloud IoT platform
Where does device data go? Data flows into a cloud platform such as Azure IoT Hub or AWS IoT Core, then into storage, analytics and applications. We design the data model, retention and access rules.
–Device provisioning
–Message routing
–Time-series storage
–APIs for applications
Predictive maintenance
How does IoT reduce downtime? By monitoring vibration, temperature, current and other signals, equipment problems can be spotted before failure. We start with simple thresholds and add models as data accumulates.
See our article on IoT predictive maintenance.
–Condition monitoring
–Alert thresholds
–Maintenance work orders
–Model-based predictions over time
IoT and OT security
How are connected devices secured? Every device needs a unique identity, secure updates and a network segment of its own. In industrial settings, OT security practices such as zone-based segmentation also apply.
See our OT, ICS and IoT security services.
–Device identity and certificates
–Firmware updates
–Network segmentation
–Monitoring for anomalies
HOW WE WORK
How an IoT project runs
Six steps take an IoT idea from use case to a scaled, supported solution.
STEP 01
Discover
Agree the outcome, the assets involved and how success will be measured.
STEP 02
Design
Choose sensors, connectivity, platform and the data model.
STEP 03
Pilot
Instrument a small set of assets and build a first dashboard.
STEP 04
Secure
Apply device identity, segmentation and update processes before scaling.
STEP 05
Scale
Roll out to more assets and sites, and integrate with business systems.
STEP 06
Operate
Monitor devices and data quality, and improve alerts and models over time.
