What a Ride! Over a Million Sensors Flawlessly Connected

Notch designed and built Nexxiot’s asset intelligence apps on a scalable, event‑driven architecture that connects over a million sensors and gateways into a single reliable data backbone. This way we eliminated uncertainty by monitoring production, health and device status before and after mounting onto cargo.

The Client

Nexxiot is a leader in freight asset management, providing advanced sensors, IoT hardware, software, and analytics. Their technology promotes safer and cleaner transportation and is used by major cargo and railroad shipping companies globally.

The Challenge

With over 1 million active sensors, Nexxiot’s expanding database requires ongoing optimization to deliver real-time analytics and business intelligence for customers and internal applications.

The Solution

Notch designed and built Nexxiot’s asset intelligence apps on a scalable, event‑driven architecture that connects over a million sensors and gateways into a single reliable data backbone. The solution standardizes telemetry across device types, integrates with core logistics and ERP systems, and filters messages so only relevant, high‑quality data reaches customer‑facing products. This gives Nexxiot real‑time visibility into asset health, status, and location, enabling proactive support and smoother operations.
