Manufacturing & Industrial

Your plant-floor IoT clusters have no backup. One hardware failure or cyber-attack and your production scheduling stops.

Manufacturing companies running Kafka at the edge for OT/IT convergence, production monitoring, and supply chain event streaming face a critical gap: the local Kafka clusters in each plant have no formal backup. Hardware failure or a cyber-attack means permanent data loss — and disrupted supply chain traceability.

The risks you're living with right now

→Distributed edge Kafka clusters across plants have no formal backup or recovery process

→Hardware failure or cyber-attack causes permanent loss of production sensor data

→Lost IoT data disrupts production scheduling and breaks supply chain traceability

→No centralised visibility or control over backup status across distributed sites

The Solution

Centralised, automated backup for all edge Kafka clusters

Kannika Armory provides centralised, automated, continuous backup and restore for distributed edge Kafka deployments — managed from a single control plane. Every plant's sensor data is protected with a near-zero RPO, and the complete dataset can be replayed into central analytics platforms.

Immutable record of every production event for quality and compliance audits.

Real Customer Story

How a manufacturing & industrial company solved this

The Situation

The Head of IT at a global chemical manufacturing firm wanted to improve the resilience of their plant-floor IoT data systems — local Kafka clusters running in each plant with no formal backup.

The Challenge

The distributed, edge Kafka clusters had no backup or recovery process, exposing them to data loss from hardware failure or cyber-attack. Losing this sensor data would disrupt production scheduling and break supply chain traceability.

The Solution

Kannika Armory provided a centralised, automated backup solution for all edge Kafka clusters — managed from a single control plane, with near-zero RPO and the ability to replay data into central analytics platforms.

The Result

Within two quarters, all plant-floor data was secured with an RPO of seconds. By replaying the complete, reliable dataset into their central analytics platform, they improved production forecast accuracy to over 98% — utilising Kannika in combination with other tools.

Forecast Accuracy

"Losing this sensor data would disrupt production scheduling and break our supply chain traceability. Within two quarters, we secured all plant-floor data with an RPO of seconds — and improved our production forecast accuracy to over 98% by replaying the data into our central analytics platform."
