Automation & Fleet Intelligence
Keep your device fleet observable, responsive, and easier to manage
Use event-driven workflows, dashboards, and analytics to monitor your fleet, trigger responses, and surface insights—without standing up custom infrastructure or writing backend code.
Move from watching your fleet to actively managing it
As connected fleets grow, it becomes impossible to manually track every device, metric, and alert. Device Fleet Monitoring & Automation features help teams define event-driven rules, monitor fleet health, build dashboards, and analyze behavior—so the system can tell you what needs attention instead of the other way around.
Whether you’re monitoring sensors, meters, cameras, vehicles, or machines, these capabilities help you respond faster, reduce manual checks, and uncover patterns that improve long-term reliability.
From alerts and workflows to dashboards and AI assistants
Automate repetitive tasks and use data to guide operational decisions
Turn device and connectivity events into automated workflows
You can define rules that watch for device metrics, connectivity changes, SIM usage, or payload values and then trigger actions such as notifications, webhooks, or cloud functions. This lets teams codify standard operating procedures directly into the platform instead of maintaining custom scripts scattered across environments. (Event-driven automation — Soracom Event Handler)
Example:
If a commercially deployed water level sensor crosses a data-use threshold or continues to show anomalous drop offs, the system can notify operations via email or Slack, log the event, and invoke a cloud function to open a ticket—automatically.
-
Trigger actions from device or SIM events
-
Notify people or systems via email, Slack, webhooks, or cloud functions
-
Centralize automation instead of maintaining scripts
Visualize fleet behavior with shareable dashboards
Build dashboards that surface key metrics across your fleet—such as signal quality, usage trends, sensor data, or alert counts—without running your own visualization stack. Share read-only views so teams can align around the same information. (IoT dashboards — Soracom Lagoon built on top of Harvest)
Example:
A facilities team can view temperature trends, connectivity status, and alert history for all buildings in one dashboard, then share a read-only version with management.
-
Create dashboards from collected device data
-
Combine charts, maps, tables, and alerts
-
Share read-only views with stakeholders
What teams normally struggle with
|
Manual monitoring and ad-hoc alerts
Fragmented view of device and connectivity health
Underused data
Custom automation that’s hard to maintain |
Monitor sensor data, data usage, and
connectivity status of deployed devices

Use automation and AI to scale operational decision-making
Ask natural-language questions about your fleet and connectivity data
Query IoT and connectivity data using natural language, then turn results into charts, reports, or investigations. This gives teams fast answers about behavior, cost, and performance without writing SQL. (AI-powered data analysis — Soracom Query, MCP Server)
Example:
Operations can ask, “Which devices had the most connection failures in the last 7 days?” and instantly get a chart and list of affected SIMs.
-
Natural-language queries over IoT and connectivity data
-
Visual outputs for trends and comparisons
-
Support troubleshooting and reporting

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set up rules that react to device or SIM events?
You can define event-driven rules that respond to device data, connectivity changes, SIM usage, or metadata and trigger notifications, webhooks, or cloud functions. (Event-driven automation — Soracom Event Handler)
How can I visualize fleet health and performance?
You can build dashboards that show sensor readings, connection status, and usage trends using built-in tools. (Lagoon + Harvest)
How do I analyze connectivity issues or unusual SIM behavior?
Connectivity data can be queried and visualized to identify patterns such as repeated session drops, abnormal usage, or coverage issues. (Soracom Query)
Can I send data to multiple cloud services at once?
Yes. Low-code tools let you connect events, channels, and actions to automate monitoring, notifications, and interactions. (Soracom Flux)
Can I start small and expand automation later?
Absolutely. You can begin with simple rules or dashboards and grow into advanced workflows, analytics, and AI-driven operations as your fleet expands.
Do I need to build my own alerting or rules engine?
No. The platform watches for thresholds, state changes, and anomalies, and executes predefined actions without custom infrastructure.
Can non-technical stakeholders access dashboards?
Yes. Dashboards can be shared in read-only mode so teams like operations or management can view the same information without having portal access.
Can I use AI or natural language to explore my fleet data?
Yes. Natural-language interfaces let you ask questions about IoT and connectivity data without writing queries. (Soracom Query, MCP Server)
How does automation work with my existing cloud systems?
Automations can call webhooks, invoke cloud functions, or trigger actions inside your cloud event pipeline, fitting cleanly into your architecture.
