How ControlCom Turns 300+ Million Monthly Facility Data Points Into Instant Answers With Tiger Data
See how ControlCom Connect uses TimescaleDB to monitor thousands of industrial assets, process 300M+ data points monthly, and uncover costly anomalies.
ControlCom Technologies, a six-person team led by Catalin Negru, has developed an industrial IoT platform called ControlCom Connect that unifies live equipment data across facility portfolios. The platform streams telemetry from thousands of assets, such as PLCs, meters, switchgear, and generators, into TimescaleDB. This enables instant dashboards and an AI assistant that can answer questions in real-time using live and historical readings.
One healthcare deployment caught $160,000 in utility billing errors, while a tier 1 hospital flagged backup generators left in manual mode before a power outage could endanger patients. ControlCom Connect integrates with various protocols, software sources, and devices, creating a living graph of the facility. This allows the platform to quickly trace outages and inform operators of affected assets.
The team chose TimescaleDB for its compatibility with PostgreSQL, hypertables, compression, and fast time-series queries, avoiding the need to migrate to a foreign database or learn a new query language.
