How ThingsBoard powers mdeg GmbH?

Reliable architecture for healthcare

ThingsBoard became the foundation of the mdeg Medical Device Cloud thanks to its stable and fault-tolerant architecture. This ensured secure and uninterrupted real-time data transmission from medical devices — a critical requirement in healthcare.

Rule Engine for flexible business logic

A key advantage of ThingsBoard for mdeg was the ability to implement business logic flexibly using the Rule Engine. This allowed the platform to be easily adapted to meet the specific needs of different clients without the need for deep custom development.

Industry-grade compliance

The ThingsBoard team provided high-quality support at every stage — from prototype to full-scale deployment. This accelerated the time-to-market and reduced technical risks throughout the development process.
