Themen
Services & Process
We cover the full spectrum: terrain analysis, conception, platform design, hardware selection, LoRaWAN network deployment tailored to the challenging Sauerland topography, development of web apps, mobile apps, and dashboards, as well as ongoing managed operations. Everything end to end.
It starts with an on-site walkthrough – we assess terrain, buildings, and existing infrastructure. This is followed by conception, hardware selection, radio coverage planning for forested and valley locations, gateway installation, platform setup with custom dashboards and web apps, go-live, and ongoing operations.
Yes. We advise on IoT architecture, network planning in hilly terrain, platform selection, and hardware evaluation – even if you intend to implement internally or with a different partner.
LoRaWAN & Hardware
Primarily Milesight gateways and sensors – CE-certified and suited for outdoor deployment, even in the harsh Sauerland climate. For specialized applications like soil moisture or water levels, we also integrate sensors from other manufacturers via MQTT, HTTP, or Modbus.
Yes, with proper planning. We account for forest coverage, topography, and elevation differences in gateway positioning. Ranges are shorter in forests than in open fields, but strategic placement – for example on hilltops or at forest edges – achieves reliable coverage.
Yes. All devices are shipped with pre-set network parameters, payload decoders, and current firmware. After mounting in the field or at the facility, they are immediately operational.
Platform & Development
Yes. Beyond standard dashboards in Grafana and ThingsBoard, we build custom web apps and mobile apps – for example, mobile forest monitoring, water level overviews, or retrofit cockpits for production facilities.
Our stack: ChirpStack as the LoRaWAN network server, ThingsBoard for device management and rule engine, Grafana for real-time dashboards, and Node-RED for data flow automation. Custom apps are built with React, Next.js, and React Native.
Yes. Via ThingsBoard and Node-RED, we integrate LoRaWAN, MQTT, HTTP, and Modbus sources into a unified platform. This allows environmental data and machine data to be analyzed together and forwarded to existing systems.
Hosting & Security
On GDPR-compliant infrastructure in German data centers. Alternatively, we install the platform on-premise in your own server room in Arnsberg – including VPN connectivity for our remote maintenance.
SLA tiers with availability guarantees up to 99.9%. Redundant infrastructure, automatic failover, and 24/7 monitoring ensure uninterrupted operations – even for critical environmental and production data.
Yes. We install and harden the entire IoT stack directly in your data center. Via a VPN-secured connection, we handle proactive monitoring and remote maintenance without data leaving your network.
Getting Started & Terms
Simple monitoring setups can be operational within a few days. More complex projects involving terrain analysis, forest network deployment, and custom development are planned in phases with clearly defined milestones.
No. Our managed services are cancellable monthly. We rely on strong collaboration and demonstrable results rather than contract lock-in.
Yes. We design multi-tenant platforms for companies and municipalities with multiple sites – whether Arnsberg, Neheim, Sundern, or Meschede. Each location gets its own dashboards, access controls, and alerting profiles.
