Cruise Ship
Carnival Cruise Line faced delays in building a vital IoT system for their new cruise ship "Adora Magic City". Edgenesis helped them rapidly deliver a robust IoT infrastructure, meeting their time-to-market deadline and ensuring a successful launch.
Edgenesis helped to:
- Single Pane of Glass Management: A centralized control cluster for applications, providing streamlined management and oversight of the IoT system.
- Edge Data Processing: Real-time decision-making and inferences directly on devices, eliminating unnecessary cloud transmissions and saving bandwidth.
- Offline Data Integrity: Data caching and incremental transmission when connectivity is restored, ensuring no data loss due to interruptions.
- System Stability: Multi-node architecture and Kubernetes replicas guarantee high availability and minimal downtime.
- Small Footprint: Optimized workloads compatible with resource-constrained devices (e.g., Raspberry Pi-like).
Challenges
- Tightly Coupled Applications: Applications were heavily reliant on device-specific logic, hindering updates and scalability.
- Lack of Scalability: The existing architecture limited the addition of new devices and applications.
- Slow Development Process: A legacy system with potentially hundreds of protocol integrations led to a lengthy development cycle.
