CASE STUDY: ManuIoT

Overview:
Industry: Manufacturing
Size: 100 factories globally

Environment:

  • 100,000 sensors
  • Local SCADA
  • Fragmented SQL Server DBs
  • No central analytics

Requirements:

  • Predictive maintenance
  • Real-time global dashboards
  • Edge computing

Exec Statements:

  • CEO: Monetize telemetry.
  • CFO: Costs must scale linearly.
  • VP Ops: Factory lines need local control if internet drops.

Tech Reqs:

  • Ingest 1M msgs/sec
  • Stream processing
  • Offline factory capabilities
  • Train ML centrally, deploy to edge

Constraints:

  • Low bandwidth/high latency at factories
  • Legacy MQTT protocol
  • Zero IT staff at factories

QUESTION: How should you architect the ingestion layer to handle 1 million MQTT messages per second from the legacy sensors?

QUESTION: To meet the requirement of training ML models centrally and deploying them to the edge, which GCP AI service should you utilize?

Answer options:

A.

Vertex AI

B.

Cloud Vision API

C.

Dialogflow

D.

AutoML Tables

How to approach this question

Identify GCP's unified machine learning platform.

Full Answer

A.Vertex AI✓ Correct
Vertex AI is Google Cloud's unified machine learning platform. It allows data scientists to train custom predictive maintenance models using cloud compute, and then export those models (e.g., as TensorFlow Lite or Docker containers) to be deployed on edge devices or Anthos clusters in the factories.

Common mistakes

Selecting pre-trained APIs (B, C) instead of a custom model training platform.
