“IoTnova helped us transform our system landscape and establish a modern, IoT-based data management approach that not only meets regulatory requirements, but also supports research and operational excellence.” and operational excellence.”
Solexperts is one of the few specialists focused on demanding geotechnical and hydrogeological monitoring projects in complex environments—from tunnel construction to nuclear waste repositories. In particular, in areas such as in-borehole stress measurements or water-flow analysis for CO₂ storage or geothermal projects, Solexperts is in some cases the sole provider.
To enable Solexperts’ customers to access their monitoring data via self-service, the company was looking for a solution that prepares data for dashboards, provides alerting for threshold exceedances, and integrates seamlessly into complex construction processes.
Solexperts found what it needed with IoTnova, it-novum’s managed IoT platform. The solution allows the company to focus on its core competencies: precise on-site physical measurement, consulting and interpretation, and operating complex sensor systems under sometimes extreme conditions—underground, distributed, and long-running. By fully integrating IoTnova as the IoT platform and complementing it with its own client and cloud software, Solexperts was able to create a scalable, redundant, and highly customizable infrastructure.
“We don’t just offer a service—our experience is embedded in every line of this solution,” emphasizes Tom Renner, Head of Software & IoT.
“Together with it-novum, we set up the platform and continuously adapted it to our customers’ needs—right through to integrating specialized protocols and database solutions, and establishing our own tenant within the managed service.”
This also included migrating the entire streaming data pipeline, including the transition of a live production system—without downtime, but with measurable added value. “In multi-year projects with hundreds of sensors and terabytes of data, availability, security, and adaptability are not optional—they’re mandatory. IoTnova enables us to continue providing excellent services to our customers,” Tom Renner summarizes.
