Manufacturing — MLOps

Case Study

Challenge

A manufacturer's predictive maintenance models were built by a data science team but never reached production — no deployment pipeline, no monitoring, no path to retraining.

Solution

Built the MLOps layer the models were missing: containerized model serving, drift monitoring, and an automated retraining pipeline tied to sensor data ingestion.

Architecture

  • IoT sensor ingestion via Kafka
  • Model registry and versioning with MLflow
  • Kubernetes-based model serving
  • Automated drift detection triggering retraining pipelines

Results

Illustrative structure — full metrics added as engagements complete.
