Industrial IoT in Nigeria — visibility for factories that make their own power.

These constraints are engineering inputs for us, not footnotes:

• Most factories effectively self-generate. Grid supply is unreliable — national grid failures have been reported repeatedly in recent years — so plants run on generators or gas engines for much of the day, and every self-generated kilowatt-hour carries a heavy cost. That makes energy and generator visibility a first-class problem here, with its own dedicated page. Our gateways are battery-buffered and log locally, so the record stays complete through every outage and changeover.
• Connectivity is workable, not guaranteed. Urban 4G in Lagos, Ibadan, Port Harcourt and Kano is generally usable, but industrial estates can sit on congested cells. We deploy dual-SIM failover, use fixed links where the estate has them, and every device stores and forwards — a dropped link never punches a hole in the data.
• Budgets under FX pressure. Deployments start small — one line, one generator house, one cold store — and grow on results. We read the PLCs and meters you already own (500+ protocols) so imported hardware stays minimal, and cost bands are stated in writing after a remote assessment.
• Maintenance capacity varies by site. Hardware ships pre-configured from Johannesburg and is installed by local partners or your own electricians under our remote guidance, with remote diagnostics and over-the-air updates doing the routine work between visits.
