InfluxData's customer, Bboxx, is a high-tech utility company that uses solar-powered smart batteries to provide clean energy to people in developing countries. The company aims to combat energy poverty by powering devices such as lights, radios, and televisions, connecting small business owners with their customers, extending farming capabilities, and empowering children to do schoolwork and read at night. Bboxx co-founder and CEO Mansoor Hamayun says that electricity access is critical to human progress and that his company's mission is to provide clean energy where it's needed. To optimize the performance of its products, Bboxx uses InfluxDB, a platform built for time series data applications, to build its operating system, Bboxx Pulse. The platform helps manage power in developing countries, where patchy internet signals and variable data rates can create challenges. By analyzing and managing time series data, Bboxx can quickly identify usage patterns and anomalies that help improve the product over time. As a result of using InfluxDB, Bboxx has made significant impact, providing clean energy to over 2 million people and replacing 1.93 million kerosene lamps, ultimately contributing to reducing CO2 emissions and empowering economic activities in developing countries.
