01 / Executive Overview
Setting
the Stage
"Real-time telemetry stream processing powering global supply chain decarbonization and fleet efficiency."
At the Unilever global logistics rollout, ProjonmoLab designed an enterprise IoT stream processing platform. The system aggregates real-time sensor data from over 12,000 heavy transit vehicles, transforming raw GPS and temperature data into actionable predictive insights for logistics commanders.
02 / The Challenge
Fragmented Telemetry & Lack of Real-Time Visibility
Unilever operated with disconnected legacy tracking providers across regional hubs. The absence of a unified telemetry engine caused unexpected cargo spoilage, inefficient route scheduling, and manual carbon audit reporting taking over 60 days per quarter.
Key Bottlenecks
- 1Incompatible IoT data protocols from 15+ vehicle hardware vendors.
- 2High latency in emergency cargo alerts (cold-chain temperature spikes).
- 3Inefficient manual carbon emission tracking across global fleets.
03 / Solution
Unified Kafka Streaming Pipeline & Real-Time Analytics Portal
ProjonmoLab engineered a high-performance ingest pipeline built on Apache Kafka and ClickHouse. Fleet managers gain access to an interactive Next.js dashboard featuring web-based WebGL map visualizations and automated AI predictive route optimizations.
