Davra: Industrial device management, analytics and configurable monitoring applications

Davra provides an industrial IoT platform for device management, data collection, analytics and connected-equipment applications.

Summary

Best for
Industrial manufacturers and integrators building monitoring services around connected assets.
Less suited to
Projects needing only a simple standalone meter display.
Deployment
Cloud, site and air-gapped deployment paths documented in the developer portal.
Data in
Device telemetry and industrial connectors; authenticated REST APIs for platform data.
Pricing
Public pricing was not established from the reviewed sources.

Overview

Davra develops an industrial IoT platform for manufacturers, utilities and infrastructure operators. Its company history describes a progression from network infrastructure management into device management, data collection, analytics and application development. The current developer portal separates these capabilities into device and data management, application enablement, analytics, integration and operations. This structure supports projects in which an equipment manufacturer or integrator builds a monitoring service around several types of asset. Remote monitoring, predictive maintenance and anomaly detection are described as application uses, while dashboards and custom microservices provide the tools for implementing the particular workflow.

Offering

The developer portal documents device registration, monitoring and security alongside tools for creating dashboards and applications. Administration covers users, roles, organisations and system health. Developers can extend the platform through custom microservices rather than limiting every application to a fixed dashboard template. Davra's REST API uses resource-oriented URLs and JSON responses, with authenticated access for third-party applications. Its reference includes device information, IoT data, digital twins and user-related functions. These are application-development interfaces for managing a platform deployment and its data, distinct from the electrical or radio connection of an individual sensor.

Products and platforms

  1. Davra IIoT Platform

    Industrial application platform

    Device registration, data management, dashboards and analytics for connected assets.4

  2. Davra Sentinel

    Monitoring application

    Tailings monitoring combining sensor and geospatial data through specialist partners.2

Technology

Davra's API reference documents bearer-token and basic-authentication methods and a default request-body limit of 100 KB for POST, PUT and PATCH operations. Its technical portal describes integration with industrial and enterprise systems, including cloud and air-gapped site deployment paths. The partner programme names MQTT, Modbus, OPC-UA and REST among supported technologies. That catalogue describes available integration mechanisms rather than certifying every possible connected product. Operational documentation also covers observability through OpenTelemetry and the LGTM stack, placing application health and infrastructure monitoring alongside management of the field devices themselves.

Markets

The partner programme describes different delivery arrangements for different markets. IoTDC applies Davra's Sentinel platform to tailings monitoring in mining, combining ground sensors with satellite and drone information. RTC focuses on energy, utilities and transport in the Middle East and Africa, while TIS3 serves secure government infrastructure. Davra also describes AWS and Azure deployment relationships and collaboration with the European Space Agency on satellite-enabled monitoring. These named relationships show how the platform reaches specialised projects through integrators and infrastructure providers, rather than implying that all of those projects use the same instruments or application configuration.

Company

Davra's current corporate history dates its founding in Dublin to 2012. It names Paul Glynn as CEO and Joe Quinn as co-founder and CTO. The company lists offices at Spencer Dock in Dublin and North Wolfe Road in Sunnyvale, California, also confirmed by its contact page. Its board page identifies representatives associated with Delta and Investec alongside company leadership. The business now offers its industrial platform, professional services and partner programme to manufacturers and infrastructure operators. Its developer resources include training, code examples, API documentation and support for custom application development.
