Relayr
Monitor, analyze, and optimize industrial equipment remotely, construct IIoT solutions quickly.
What is Relayr?
Relayr is a platform for building and managing Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions. It allows you to monitor industrial equipment remotely, collect performance data, and optimise operations without needing to build infrastructure from scratch. The platform is designed for manufacturers, facility managers, and industrial teams who need to track equipment health, detect issues early, and improve efficiency across distributed sites. Rather than developing custom IoT systems, you can use Relayr's pre-built components to connect sensors and devices, visualise data, and set up automated alerts or responses. It sits between your equipment and your analytics, handling the connectivity and data processing so you focus on insights and decisions.

Alerting and automation
Set rules to trigger notifications or automated actions when equipment meets specific conditions
Data visualisation
Create dashboards to display equipment performance and operational metrics
Device connectivity
Support for connecting and managing multiple sensors and devices across your equipment fleet
Pros & Cons
Advantages
- Faster deployment than building custom IIoT solutions from scratch
- Freemium model means you can test the platform with real equipment before committing to paid plans
- Handles the technical complexity of IoT connectivity, so teams can focus on operational insights
- Suitable for small operations up to larger industrial deployments
Limitations
- Pricing details for paid tiers are not clearly published, making it difficult to budget for scaling
- Integration with legacy industrial equipment may require additional configuration or adapters
- Learning curve if your team has limited IoT or data analysis experience
Use Cases
Predictive maintenance: Monitor machine performance metrics to predict failures before they occur and schedule maintenance proactively
Multi-site facility management: Track HVAC, lighting, power consumption, and other systems across multiple locations from a central dashboard
Production line optimisation: Analyse output, downtime, and efficiency metrics to identify bottlenecks and improve throughput
Equipment compliance monitoring: Ensure industrial equipment meets safety standards and regulatory requirements with automated reporting
Supply chain visibility: Monitor equipment and environmental conditions during storage or transport to prevent damage
