IIoT SCADA automation
How it Works
through the IIoT platform SCADA integrations.
1
Installation of smart devices
ThingsLog multichannel data loggers, smart meters, controllers, modbus or open firmware devices are fitted to the existing infrastructure or environment. We can measure any water, flow or energy meter, integrate with large amount of sensors and trigger actions on relays or any other modbus based devices.
2
Collect Data
Data is sent via GSM, 4G, NB-IoT, CatM1, LoRaWAN or Wifi/Ethernet to ThingsLog platform. Our IIoT platform is a cost-effective replacement of existing AMR, AMI or SCADA systems. Suitable to meter, monitor and manage water, energy, heating, perform smart metering or smarty city data acquisition.
3
Put Data Into Action
ThingsLog solutions provide customers with smart way to review and assess their consumption data, identify problems or optimization opportunities, and take timely action based on real time sensor data, meteo, energy market information or AI.
ThingsLog can act as a solution for DERMS (Distributed Energy Resource Management) or VPP (Virtual Power Plant).
ThingsLog supported protocols and way of work
Data loggers, Controllers and smart devices send data over LoRa, NB-IoT/LTE-M, 4G or Wifi/Ethernet/IP to the platform. The platform receives data and controls the way the
devices work and transmit.
Our platform is based on open protocols such as REST, MQTT, LWM2M, LoRaWAN, MODBUS-RTU, MODBUS-TCP or MBUS.
Once the data is received it is analyzed and stored in the platform data database. If ThingsLog find that that there is an anomaly in the data it will notify the users over email or mobile notification to the mobile app.
Thingslog Platform Core Components
Devices - Any ThingsLog LPMDL or TLCTL controllers, smart water meters such as Axioma, Zenner, Baylan, Wehrle, any smart plug, sensor, relay or controller with Tasmota open source firmware, any modbus or mbus device.
Backend - a number of services responsible for the configuration of the loggers, synchronization of their time, receiving the data, updating firmware, generating notifications.
User Interface - component responsible for the visualization of the data configuration of the loggers, user management, language settings.
Database - a SQL and NOSQL databases responsible for storing the users, devices their configuration and data.
Remote node - a subset of the platform deployed typically in customer premises responsible for configuring the loggers, synchronizing their time and pushing the data to 3rd party platforms. It contains only a configuration database and does not have the "data" database tier.
Deployment Options
SAAS
IIoT platform as a SAAS – our most common and cost-effective SAAS offering.
Contact us to learn more about
this service.
PAAS
ON-PREM
Platform deployed on customer infrastructure or 3rd party cloud. The customer has full end-to-end control over the platform and the packets exchange.
IIoT Platform Licenses and Subscriptions
The platform is licensed on subscription packages based on readings per year received by the loggers associated with a customer profile.
The customer buys different packages based on the number of devices and the number of readings generated by them on yearly basis.
More information on how we deliver and how we price is available here.
On-prem and PAAS deployment options are associated also to separate license and professional service costs.
Our partners and larger customers typically buy larger subscription packages and resell them to their own customers.

Platform Architecture — Built for Industrial Reliability
Multi-Tenant Cloud Architecture
The ThingsLog backend is built on a microservices architecture supporting multi-tenant operation. Each utility, enterprise, or service provider operates in an isolated data environment with dedicated access control. The platform handles thousands of concurrent device connections and millions of data points per day without performance degradation, with horizontal scaling applied automatically as fleet sizes grow.
Edge Intelligence
ThingsLog data loggers are not passive data collectors. They execute configurable logic at the edge, reducing dependency on continuous cloud connectivity:
- Threshold-based alarms evaluated locally, without cloud round-trip latency
- Local data buffering during connectivity loss — up to 90 days of readings stored on-device
- On-device averaging and aggregation to reduce data transmission volume
- Relay control based on locally evaluated sensor conditions, enabling autonomous operation
Data Pipeline
Device readings are received via MQTT over TLS, validated, normalized, and stored in both time-series databases (for readings and alarms) and relational databases (for device registry, configurations, and users). Aggregation jobs create hourly, daily, and monthly totals automatically, making reporting fast and consistent regardless of query time range.
Analytics and Visualization
Customizable Dashboards
Each user or role sees a dashboard configured for their operational function. A utility operations manager sees DMA water balance, pressure alarms, and pump status. An energy manager sees consumption graphs by circuit and cost analysis against budget. A field technician sees device status, battery level, and communication quality — without the complexity of data irrelevant to their role.
Automated Reporting
Scheduled reports are generated automatically and delivered by email or made available for download. Report templates cover consumption summaries, alarm histories, device health overviews, water balance calculations, and energy comparisons against baseline periods. Reports can be configured per organization, per site group, or per individual asset.
API Access
Full REST API enables integration with external systems: BI tools such as Power BI and Tableau; ERP systems including SAP and Microsoft Dynamics; GIS platforms such as Esri ArcGIS and QGIS; and custom web or mobile applications. API documentation follows OpenAPI 3.0 standards, with sandbox environment available for integration testing.
Security and Compliance
Data Encryption
All data in transit is protected with TLS 1.2/1.3. LoRa messages are encrypted with AES-128 at the network layer per the LoRaWAN specification. Stored data is encrypted at rest using AES-256, applied at both database and storage volume levels.
Access Control
Role-based access control (RBAC) supports fine-grained permission management across five standard roles: super-admin, company admin, operator, viewer, and end-user. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is supported for administrative accounts, with SSO integration available for enterprise deployments.
GDPR Compliance
Data is stored in EU-based infrastructure. Data retention policies are configurable per organization and data category. Personal data handling follows GDPR requirements, with full audit logging of data access and processing activities to support regulatory accountability.
Platform Integrations
- SCADA systems: Wonderware, Ignition, AVEVA — via MQTT or OPC-UA
- GIS platforms: Esri ArcGIS, QGIS — via REST API
- Billing systems: Standard export formats for utility billing and ERP ingestion
- ERP: SAP, Microsoft Dynamics — via REST API with configurable field mapping
- Messaging: Email, SMS, Telegram, and push notifications for alarm delivery

White-Label and OEM Platform
ThingsLog offers the platform as a white-label solution for telecom operators, system integrators, and IoT service providers. The platform UI, mobile app, and domain can be fully branded for the partner. Multiple end-client organizations can be managed on the same infrastructure with complete data isolation between tenants. This enables telecoms and IT companies to offer IoT monitoring services to their B2B customers without building and maintaining proprietary platform infrastructure from scratch.
Deployment and Onboarding
New organizations are onboarded to the ThingsLog IIoT platform within days. Device provisioning is handled through the web dashboard or via bulk import for large fleets. ThingsLog supports self-service onboarding for technically capable partners, and guided onboarding with ThingsLog’s engineering team for enterprise clients with complex integration requirements. The platform includes a built-in device simulator for testing dashboards and alarm configurations before physical hardware deployment, reducing time-to-production for new monitoring projects. Comprehensive documentation, API references, and integration guides are available in the ThingsLog knowledge base, supporting both internal engineering teams and third-party integrators.
