First Commit to First Customer: How Startup Takton Shipped in Just Two Months with Tiger Data

Sense Manufacturing, co-founded by Farbod Moghaddam, developed an affordable machine monitoring solution called Sense, specifically designed for small and mid-size manufacturers. The team built their technology stack around Tiger Data's time-series database, which was chosen for its ability to handle high-rate data ingestion from thousands of devices, aligning with their need for real-time analytics. The choice of Tiger Cloud allowed them to focus on product development rather than infrastructure management, resulting in a swift transition from development to production in just 60 days. Sense devices provide immediate visibility into machine operations by monitoring power consumption and vibration, enabling shop owners to preemptively address anomalies and reduce downtime. The system, which supports single device start-ups and offers flexible subscription models, has proven to be cost-effective, reducing total costs significantly compared to competitors. By leveraging Tiger Data, Sense aims to expand its capabilities with advanced machine learning techniques to further enhance machine health insights.
