Expressway Group: Digital Upgrade and Unified IT Device Management Across the Network
For an expressway group, Sensaka helped build a unified IT device monitoring and operations management platform across group headquarters and 20+ affiliated centers. The project enabled centralized management for 180,000+ devices, network visualization, accurate asset management, and remote out-of-band operations.
Customer Background
The customer is an expressway group with multiple affiliated centers, managing expressway road networks, tolling systems, operations monitoring, and emergency dispatching. Its information systems require highly stable data centers, accurate asset records, and fast fault response.
Driven by digital transformation, the group launched a comprehensive upgrade of IT device and network management, aiming to build a unified platform covering headquarters and 20+ centers for centralized management of massive heterogeneous devices.
- Expressway group with 20+ affiliated centers
- Management scope: road networks, tolling, operations monitoring, and emergency dispatching
- Massive heterogeneous devices: servers, network devices, PLCs, cameras, and power facilities
- Many brands and complex device types
- Scattered asset ledgers and inconsistent information flow
- Massive electromechanical device ledgers were scattered and incomplete
- Network device links could not be sensed in real time, reducing troubleshooting efficiency
- IP address allocation lacked unified management, making conflicts and drift hard to locate
- Multi-brand device management was isolated, with no unified monitoring or control
- Alarms, assets, and network information could not be quickly correlated, slowing fault localization
- Unified management of multi-brand devices and a unified network management platform
- Accurate device asset management
- Network topology visualization
- Real-time device status monitoring
- Fine-grained IP address management
- Deep network performance monitoring
Sensaka Solution
Sensaka provided a unified IT device and network management platform covering servers, network devices, PLCs, cameras, power distribution facilities, and security devices across headquarters and 20+ centers.
The platform used a simulation plus field verification approach. IP address lifecycle visualization and binding tracking enabled real-time monitoring and alerting for conflicts, drift, and unauthorized endpoint access. Automated configuration management, configuration backup, version management, and compliance inspection enabled centralized and efficient operations.
