Kiwigrid as market leader in home energy management systems is constantly growing. They were forced to improve productivity in the manufacturing of gateway devices. To keep and ensure high quality standards an efficient production process is needed. The goal of the Fabrication Service was to automate both: the entire production order management and according gateway device validation procedures.
In close collaboration with Kiwigrid and Google Cloud Team, SOTEC planned and implemented the Fabrication Service. This new containerized application runs reliable on Google Kubernetes Engine and is seamlessly integrated in the fully managed Google CloudSQ. It is decided to use for storing Kiwigrid gateway device information in a scalable and secure manner.
Fabrication Service is a Google Cloud based solution and automates production of Kiwigrid energy management gateway devices. Particularly the automation of the creation and management of production orders (managing hardware related data (e.g. serial numbers), saving of produced device properties and analysis of error situations).
