Lorenzo Filippin – Industrial IIoT & Data Acquisition Consulting
Independent consultant helping industrial and manufacturing teams turn noisy OT data into reliable, actionable insight across IIoT, data acquisition and Realtime Analytics.
Core Industrial IIoT Consulting Services
Industries I Typically Work With
How I Work With Your Team

I focus on practical, production-safe IIoT and data acquisition work, from first assessment to stable operations.

  1. Assess – Clarify goals, map existing OT/IT assets, identify risks and quick wins.
  2. Design – Define architectures, data flows, tagging models and security boundaries that fit your constraints.
  3. Implement – Support implementation, configuration and testing with your internal team and partners.
  4. Stabilize & Optimize – Validate data quality, harden operations, and prepare for scaling to more lines and sites.

Engagements are vendor-neutral and collaborative: I typically work alongside your engineers, OT/IT leads and system integrators.

Outcomes You Can Expect

Typical outcomes from Industrial IIoT and data acquisition projects I support include:

  • Higher data quality and consistency across PLCs, SCADA, historians and cloud platforms.
  • Reduced unplanned downtime through better visibility on critical assets and process conditions.
  • Faster rollout of new lines, machines or sites thanks to reusable architectures and data models.
  • More reliable reporting and analytics because source data is well-modeled and traceable.
  • Maintainable, documented solutions that your internal team and partners can evolve over time.

About Lorenzo Filippin

I am an independent Industrial IIoT and data acquisition consultant with a background in software engineering and hands-on work in industrial environments.

Over the last years I have helped manufacturers, OEMs and integrators design and implement IIoT architectures, data acquisition solutions, edge gateways and industrial connectivity patterns that actually work on real plants.

If you want to know more about my background, technologies I work with and how I typically collaborate with teams, you can find additional detail on the About page.

Contact & Next Steps

If you are planning an Industrial IIoT, data acquisition or SCADA initiative and want an independent view, we can start with a short conversation about your context and constraints.

Describe your plants, main systems and current challenges, and I will reply with whether and how I can help, plus a proposed next step if it makes sense.

You can use the contact form or write directly to info@flpdev.it.
