Gador Accelerates Industry 4.0 with AWS IoT Analytics

Accelerating Industry 4.0 Adoption with AWS IoT and Real-Time Manufacturing Analytics

Gador, a leading Argentine pharmaceutical manufacturer, lacked real-time visibility into its production lines as it pursued an Industry 4.0 strategy. Netrix deployed an industrial IoT architecture on AWS with a real-time data lake and dashboards, cutting data latency from 24 hours to 4 hours and laying the groundwork for predictive maintenance.

The Client

Gador is one of Argentina's leading pharmaceutical companies, with more than 80 years of experience producing high-quality medications for patients throughout Argentina and international markets.

The Challenge

Gador wanted to modernize its manufacturing operations as part of a broader Industry 4.0 strategy. Key challenges included:

Limited visibility into production line performance
Delayed access to operational data
Need for predictive analytics and anomaly detection
High infrastructure and storage costs
Difficulty leveraging data for operational improvements

The company needed a platform capable of connecting production systems directly to the cloud.

The Solution

Netrix designed and deployed an industrial IoT architecture on AWS. Key deliverables included:

Cloud integration of production line equipment
AWS IoT connectivity framework
Industrial data lake implementation
Real-time data ingestion and analytics
Tableau dashboards for operational visibility
Near real-time anomaly detection capabilities

The Implementation

Industrial device integration using AWS Greengrass
Secure OPC-UA communications
Cloud data lake architecture deployment
Real-time analytics and visualization rollout
Operational reporting enablement

The Results

Outcome Area	Delivered
Improved Data Availability	Data availability improved from 24 hours to every 4 hours
