Highlights

  • Accelerating IIoT Pilot Deployments: Senzary’s plug-and-play cellular gateways bypass internal IT delays, enabling use cases like predictive maintenance and environmental monitoring, while creating a failover path for enhanced uptime.
  • Scalable, Modular Platform: From predictive maintenance to people-counting, Senzary’s IoTLOGIQ platform supports a wide range of commercial and industrial use cases on a single system.
  • Solving Multi-Site Connectivity: Soracom’s multi-carrier SIMs automatically connect to the strongest available network at each location, ensuring consistent performance across national deployments.

Transforming Industrial IoT at Scale

Senzary is an industrial IoT solution provider helping enterprises unlock actionable data from physical infrastructure quickly, securely, and without disrupting existing systems. Its cloud-native platform, IoTLOGIQ, is designed to streamline operations like predictive maintenance, compliance monitoring, and air quality tracking using wireless gateways and modular integrations that scale across the enterprise.

“We’re not just another point solution,” said Eric Schummer, Senzary CEO. “We’re building what I call the ERP of IoT – an operating system that brings visibility and control across departments.”

By focusing on rapid deployment, seamless integration with legacy protocols, and a horizontal platform architecture, Senzary helps organizations go from pilot to production without vendor lock-in or internal resistance within weeks, rather than months.


The Challenge: Overcoming the Twin Hurdles of IIoT Adoption

Whether they be Fortune 500 manufacturers or complex infrastructure operators like airports, modern enterprises face two main challenges when launching a successful IoT project:

The Internal Challenge: IT Delays. The most common obstacles tend to be internal security processes, as even sensitive needs such as monitoring dust emissions for regulatory compliance or tracking vibrations to prevent equipment failure must pass rigorous scrutiny. Internal security procedures may force teams into long queues for security reviews and firewall approvals. “One of the biggest obstacles is the layers within large companies,” said Schummer. “Projects can lose all sense of urgency while waiting for IT clearance.”

The External Challenge: Coverage Inconsistencies. Of course, the world at large poses its own challenges. Companies with a national footprint will find that no single mobile carrier offers uniform coverage for their entire operational area, to say nothing of those operations that cross international borders. One area may favor Verizon, while another is exclusively covered by AT&T or T-Mobile. Managing multiple carrier relationships – and bills – can lead to all sorts of logistical fragmentation that can undermine the scalability of any cellular-connected deployment.

The Solution: A Single Gateway with Dual Purpose, Powered by Soracom

To address these challenges, Senzary partnered with Soracom, whose global IoT platform delivers multi-carrier connectivity, remote SIM management, and enterprise-grade networking features. Together, Senzary and Soracom enable a uniquely flexible deployment strategy.

Step One: Rapid Pilot, No IT Required
To bypass IT delays, Senzary deploys smart gateways equipped with Soracom SIMs. These devices operate fully outside the customer’s internal network, connecting instantly to the strongest local carrier – without the need for local contracts or tech intervention.

“Our first conversation with a Fortune 500 client isn’t about network diagrams,” said Schummer. “It’s about solving their immediate pain point. We tell them, ‘We can get you visibility on that critical asset next week, without a six-month IT review.’ Once they see it working, scaling the solution becomes a business decision, not an IT debate.”

Step Two: Seamless Failover for Business Continuity
After a pilot proves successful, that same secure cellular connection can be repurposed as a resilient backup link. If the customer’s primary network ever goes down, the gateway automatically fails over to the Soracom connection, ensuring uninterrupted access to mission-critical telemetry.

This entire solution is delivered as an end-to-end managed service, built on a foundation of security. All data passes through Soracom’s Virtual Private Gateway (VPG), securely encrypted and isolated from the public internet and ensuring enterprise-grade protection.

“Now it’s just another line item in my quote. One year of connectivity, all included. I don’t care which carrier it is – it’s just Soracom.”

The Outcome: Reduced Risk, Increased Agility

By pairing Soracom’s flexible, secure connectivity with Senzary’s turnkey platform, enterprises can now deploy IIoT solutions on their own terms – starting fast, proving value early, and expanding with confidence. This dual-role model allows customers to both innovate quickly and protect operations long term, all without sacrificing control or complicating procurement.

“When we’ve had issues, the Soracom technical team has been there,” said Schummer. “I don’t think of Soracom as a vendor. I think of you as part of my business.”

Senzary is now scaling deployments across cement plants, airports, municipal systems, and manufacturing facilities – each one starting with a single urgent need and evolving into a smart, connected operation.

“Predictive maintenance may be the first need, but what happens when the rest of the company wants in?” said Schummer. “That’s where our platform really shines.”
