Biofuel Industries is a leading renewable energy company specializing in the production of sustainable biofuels from agricultural waste. With multiple production facilities across Southeast Asia, they convert organic waste materials into clean energy, reducing carbon emissions and providing an alternative to fossil fuels.
Founded in 2003, the company has grown to become one of the region's most innovative players in the renewable energy sector, with a commitment to sustainability and technological advancement.

Biofuel Industries' monitoring systems were local and not smart, creating several operational challenges:
While the systems already had built-in touch panels for on-site control, this localized approach was time-consuming and inefficient, especially across multiple sites. Biofuel needed to transform their standalone systems into connected, intelligent, and remotely manageable solutions.
Osiris designed and implemented a lightweight, modular IoT architecture powered by Raspberry Pi 4 devices as edge gateways, tailored to Biofuel's harsh operating environments:
Integrated Modbus RTU (via RS485) for industrial sensors and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for wireless sensors on mobile parts of the system.
Raspberry Pi 4 devices aggregated data locally and pushed to our cloud dashboard via MQTT for analytics, anomaly detection, and remote monitoring.
Proprietary software enabled secure communication with dynamic polling rates based on operational conditions and anomaly detection.
Waterproof enclosures, stabilized power management, and redundant communication paths for field reliability in harsh conditions.
Each energy system had over 100 sensors monitoring voltage, current, and temperature. We used RS485-connected meters for stable readings and BLE sensors for movable units, with data streamed every 5 seconds to our edge devices.
The filtration system implemented a mix of pressure sensors, turbidity sensors, and valve controllers. We deployed Raspberry Pis with waterproof enclosures and integrated both BLE flow sensors and Modbus-compatible pH sensors.
Our downstream verification system included ST-730SS Inline Turbidity Sensors for high-accuracy readings, Bluetooth hardware integration, and weatherproof enclosures with optimized power management for field reliability.
After implementing Osiris' full-stack IoT solution, Biofuel Industries experienced significant operational improvements across all their systems:
"Now that we have these automatic IoT monitoring systems in place, we have more time. We can focus on providing value for both engineers at Biofuel and our end users. The data insights have transformed how we make decisions, and the impact on our efficiency has been remarkable."

Our proprietary software enabled secure communication between Raspberry Pi units and sensors, with these key features:
Dynamic polling rates that adjusted based on operational conditions, equipment status, and detected anomalies.
Automated triggers responded to discrepancies in sensor readings with customizable thresholds and escalation protocols.
Edge devices stored data locally during connectivity disruptions, automatically syncing when connections were restored.
Specialized routines optimized device power consumption while ensuring reliable 24/7 operation in remote locations.
Let us build a custom IoT solution tailored to your industry's specific challenges and harsh environments.
