Technology Category	Application Infrastructure & Middleware - Data Visualization Networks & Connectivity - MQTT
Applicable Industries	Cement Construction & Infrastructure
Applicable Functions	Logistics & Transportation Quality Assurance
Use Cases	Fleet Management Real-Time Location System (RTLS)
Services	Cloud Planning, Design & Implementation Services System Integration
Challenge	SS Global, a firm offering consultancy and IoT integration services, faced a challenge in developing a real-time, detailed picture of the Air Quality Index (AQI) throughout a metropolitan region. They utilized IoT sensor data on temperature, humidity, and concentrations of particulate matter and atmospheric gases. The engineers needed the ability to play back historical data in real time or faster to examine and understand trends and causal relationships between weather, AQI, and other factors. It was also critical for the system to flag irregularities and anomalies in AQI and atmospheric changes that could indicate future problems affecting the local population. Read More
About Customer	SS Global is a firm that offers consultancy and Internet of Things (IoT) integration services to implement complete supply chain solutions and develop unique, innovative applications for clients. Their clients are engaged in managing virtually any kind of resource, including personnel, vehicles, raw materials, manufacturing processes, logistics systems, and customer service teams. SS Global's asset monitoring tools support real-time access to time-critical data and provide in-depth visibility into key performance indicators, location data, and operational anomalies throughout the entire ecosystem.

Solution	Altair collaborated with Oracle to develop a solution using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The engineers used the MQTT messaging protocol to bring in data from IoT sensors in the field. The data stream contained both latitudinal and longitudinal values for each sensor, along with data on particulate matter, atmospheric conditions, and gas concentrations. Altair Panopticon data visualization software provided the native data connectivity and required dashboarding tools, while OCI provided cloud-based compute and storage infrastructure and AI Services (Anomaly Detection Service) to generate accurate predictions and produce alerts when sensor metric values exceeded normal values. The team built a series of dashboards that allowed users to view AQI as time series graphs and filter by time intervals and regions of interest. The first practical application of the analytics system is fleet management for municipal buses. Read More Log in to view content

Impact #1	The Altair solution empowers SS Global personnel to visualize massive amounts of real-time streaming data without any data congestion. They can configure alerts for anomalies before they cause major disruptions. The SS Global team can also use Altair’s code-optional tools to modify and add capabilities to the system as required. OCI Anomaly Detection Service allows them to monitor road conditions to manage vehicle fleets more efficiently, which means they can alert their drivers to route changes, analyze driver behavior to ensure compliance with traffic laws and safety rules, and more.
