Large buildings like airports and shopping centers consume roughly 40% of the world’s energy, often inefficiently. Heating and cooling systems are especially challenging: they are complex to configure, often unaware of actual indoor conditions, and can leave occupants uncomfortable while consuming more energy than necessary.
Enerbrain developed a cloud-driven solution combining IoT hardware, algorithms, and mobile apps to transform building management. The system makes existing HVAC infrastructure smarter, easier to control, and more comfortable for occupants, delivering up to 30% energy savings without requiring expert oversight.
By offering a simple installation process and compatibility with existing building management systems, Enerbrain helps property managers reduce both operating costs and environmental impact.
As Enerbrain’s Energy Cloud solution expanded across Europe, it quickly faced new connectivity and data management challenges. Devices in different markets generated growing volumes of environmental data, which had to be transmitted securely from sensors to cloud platforms.
Managing device lifecycles was critical. Each sensor required unique identifiers and consistent integration with customer systems, adding complexity to deployments in multiple countries. At the same time, differing national standards for environmental and building data created the need for a standardized pipeline to combine and analyze disparate data sources smoothly.
Enerbrain needed a solution that would ensure secure connectivity, simplify global device management, and scale easily with its rapid growth.
Enerbrain selected Soracom to connect and manage its IoT devices across multiple countries. Using Soracom Air for cellular connectivity and Soracom Air for Sigfox for low-power devices, the company could unify management of both types of devices under a single platform.
For data integration, Enerbrain relies on Soracom Beam to transmit sensor data directly into AWS IoT. Soracom Canal provides secure VPC peering with AWS, while Soracom Gate ensures private bidirectional communication for device administration and troubleshooting.
Enerbrain also uses Soracom Harvest to collect baseline device metrics, enabling quick visualization and simple API access for diagnostics. This combination of services allows the company to securely manage devices, standardize its data pipeline, and integrate seamlessly with AWS cloud services.
As a data-driven company, Enerbrain needed a partner that could deliver both connectivity and a suite of cloud-integrated services. Soracom provided exactly that, enabling secure communication, real-time device management, and efficient data visualization.
“Together with Soracom Canal, Gate and Beam, we can securely integrate data from our cellular and Sigfox devices into AWS IoT and communicate back to them whenever required for tasks such as troubleshooting and upgrades,” the team explains.
The pay-as-you-go model made it easy to scale operations efficiently, while Soracom’s platform simplified SIM and device management across multiple countries. With Harvest’s fast visualization capabilities, Enerbrain significantly improved its operational efficiency, reducing time spent on troubleshooting and device oversight.
As Enerbrain continues to expand into new regions, improving operational efficiency remains a top priority. Currently, device states are monitored through Soracom APIs, and the company plans to integrate Harvest APIs for deeper cross-data mapping between products, providers, and business systems.
The next step is closer integration with Soracom Funnel, which will further streamline data processing and simplify code requirements for large-scale deployments. This will allow Enerbrain to scale its data pipeline without adding operational complexity.
Since adopting Soracom, Enerbrain has grown from serving customers in Italy and France to operating across Europe, the Americas, India, the Emirates, and Japan, where it opened a subsidiary in 2018. With Soracom as a long-term partner, Enerbrain is confident in its ability to expand globally while continuing to deliver smarter, more sustainable building solutions.
Wine is particularly sensitive to environmental changes, and even slight deviations in temperature, humidity, or light exposure can affect its quality. For wineries and distributors, ensuring that bottles are stored and transported under ideal conditions is essential not only for product quality but also for brand reputation.
The challenge lies in the complexity of the global supply chain. A single shipment of wine may travel across multiple countries, distributors, and retailers before reaching the end consumer. Each handoff represents a potential point of failure, making real-time monitoring and secure data transfer mission-critical.
For ISTMOS, creating a truly effective quality assurance system meant enabling every stakeholder, whether a local distributor or an international retailer, to access and trust consistent data across the entire supply chain. That required an IoT solution capable of delivering reliable connectivity worldwide.
To address this challenge, ISTMOS designed a system that integrates IoT gateways, environmental sensors, and a customizable decision support platform. These gateways continuously measure and record temperature, humidity, and luminosity, triggering alerts whenever conditions deviate from safe thresholds.
Each gateway is connected through Soracom Air SIMs, providing a secure cellular link that works across borders and networks. Once collected, sensor data is transmitted to the ISTMOS platform via Soracom Beam, which securely relays information while preserving critical metadata such as timestamps, device IDs, and geographic location.
With this system in place, wineries, distributors, and retailers gain continuous visibility into product conditions. From the moment a bottle leaves the vineyard until it reaches the consumer, ISTMOS ensures that any issue is detected early and addressed before it impacts quality.
For ISTMOS, data integrity and system reliability are non-negotiable. By leveraging Soracom Air, the company can easily provision and manage SIM cards, ensuring that new devices can be deployed quickly without complex setup. The global reach of Soracom’s network also allows ISTMOS to scale its solution internationally with confidence.
Meanwhile, Soracom Beam streamlines the process of securely transmitting IoT data from devices to the cloud. This not only reduces development overhead but also ensures that sensitive information travels safely, giving stakeholders peace of mind.
The combination of Soracom’s connectivity and management tools allows ISTMOS to operate efficiently at scale, reducing operational overhead while focusing on delivering a reliable, AI-supported monitoring solution for the global wine supply chain.
As a growing startup, ISTMOS continues to innovate by expanding its system capabilities and exploring additional Soracom services. With interest in extending beyond wine into other high-value goods, the company sees enormous potential for IoT-enabled supply chain management.
Future plans include testing services such as Soracom Endorse for authentication, Soracom Funnel for direct cloud integration, and Soracom Gate for building secure private networks. By incorporating these tools, ISTMOS aims to further enhance transparency, scalability, and security across its platform.
With Soracom as a trusted partner, ISTMOS is well positioned to scale its solution across industries and ensure that products sensitive to environmental conditions maintain quality throughout their journey.
