From LoRaWAN network planning to condition monitoring and managed IoT hosting – your IoT service provider for Adelaide's defence, viticulture, and renewable energy sectors. AU915-compliant, remotely delivered from Germany.
Adelaide is Australia's defence capital – home to the Osborne Naval Shipyard, BAE Systems, and ASC – as well as a premier wine region with Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. The city leads in renewable energy with grid-scale solar, wind farms, and the Hornsdale Power Reserve (Tesla Big Battery). The Tonsley Innovation District serves as a thriving tech precinct driving advanced manufacturing and IoT adoption. We operate the IoT platforms that connect these industries – reliably, scalably, and remotely managed from Germany on AU915 frequency.
Your IoT stack runs on secure servers in European data centers. Full data sovereignty and GDPR-grade security standards for Adelaide-based enterprises.
Proactive monitoring of all IoT services with automatic alerts. Guaranteed response times via SLA – around the clock, across time zones.
No ticket system, no call center. Your direct line to the engineer managing your IoT instance for Adelaide.
ChirpStack, ThingsBoard, and Grafana on hardened infrastructure. Including automatic backups, security updates, and availability guarantees for Adelaide's defence, agriculture, and energy enterprises.
Complete LoRaWAN network deployment for Adelaide: AU915-compliant hardware selection (Milesight gateways & sensors), radio coverage analysis for shipyards, vineyards, and solar farms, gateway configuration, and network server setup. From planning to commissioning – all from one source.
End-to-end development of your IoT solution: custom web apps, mobile apps, Grafana and ThingsBoard dashboards. From defence asset tracking to vineyard microclimate monitoring – individually developed for Adelaide-based enterprises.
Hosting IoT platforms for condition monitoring in shipbuilding, asset tracking across defence precincts, and environmental monitoring in controlled defence environments. Vibration sensing, temperature monitoring, and access-controlled dashboards for defence contractors at Osborne and Edinburgh – hosted and operated by WZ-IT.

We rely on Milesight and know the product portfolio inside out – from environmental sensors to LoRaWAN gateways to industrial controllers. We advise, source and integrate the right hardware for your use case.
Milesight hardware ships worldwide – we deliver pre-configured and firmware-updated, ready to deploy.
We also work with hardware from other manufacturers – whether proprietary or open-source. What matters is that it works reliably and integrates into our stack.
From our base in Germany, we remotely manage IoT infrastructure across the Adelaide metropolitan area and greater South Australia.
Our IoT services run under the merkaio brand. As an IoT system integrator, we guide you through the entire project – from analysis through network deployment and platform development to ongoing operations.

We design IoT architectures with defence-grade access controls, encrypted data transmission, VPN-secured dashboards, and role-based permissions. Data can be hosted in isolated environments with full audit logging – meeting the stringent security requirements of contractors at Osborne Naval Shipyard and Edinburgh Defence Precinct.
Yes. We select industrial-grade, IP67-rated sensors designed for harsh and controlled environments – including shipyard docks, dry docks, and secure manufacturing facilities. Radio coverage is planned around metal structures, restricted zones, and electromagnetic interference sources.
We deploy LoRaWAN-based asset trackers for equipment, containers, and tooling across defence sites. Real-time location dashboards with geofencing alerts, movement history, and utilisation analytics – all accessible through secured, role-restricted interfaces.
We deploy LoRaWAN soil moisture sensors at multiple depths, combined with soil temperature probes and electrical conductivity sensors. Brands like Milesight and compatible AU915 devices are pre-configured and shipped ready for burial installation across Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale vineyards.
Temperature sensors with configurable thresholds trigger instant alerts via SMS, email, or push notification when frost risk is detected. The system uses microclimate data from multiple sensor nodes across the vineyard to provide zone-specific warnings – giving growers time to activate frost protection measures.
Yes. Using Node-RED automation, we connect soil moisture readings to irrigation controllers via MQTT or HTTP. When soil moisture drops below configurable thresholds, irrigation is triggered automatically. Dashboards show water usage, soil moisture trends, and irrigation history for precision farming across multiple vineyard blocks.
We deploy sensors measuring irradiance, panel temperature, and output current per string or array. ThingsBoard dashboards display real-time generation vs. expected output, degradation tracking, soiling detection, and maintenance alerts – scalable across hundreds of panels on grid-scale solar installations.
Yes. We build IoT dashboards for battery storage monitoring: state of charge, charge/discharge cycles, cell temperature, capacity degradation, and grid feed-in/feed-out analytics. Data is ingested via MQTT or REST APIs from battery management systems and visualised in Grafana.
We integrate vibration sensors, nacelle temperature probes, and power output monitoring for wind turbines. Predictive maintenance dashboards detect bearing wear, gearbox anomalies, and blade imbalance early – reducing downtime and extending turbine lifespan across South Australian wind farms.
Australia operates on the AU915 frequency plan. All hardware we supply – gateways and sensors – is pre-configured for AU915 compliance. Our ChirpStack network server is set up with the correct channel plan for seamless operation across Adelaide and South Australia.
Our core stack: ChirpStack as LoRaWAN network server (AU915), ThingsBoard (Community & Professional Edition) for device management, Grafana for visualization, and Node-RED for data flow automation. Custom apps are built with React, Next.js, and React Native.
Yes. Via REST APIs, MQTT, webhooks, and Modbus, we integrate IoT data into existing SCADA, BMS, and enterprise systems. Particularly relevant for energy companies and defence contractors in Adelaide with established operational technology landscapes.
A standard managed platform is production-ready within a few days. Hardware is shipped AU915-configured to Adelaide. For complex multi-site projects spanning vineyards, solar farms, or defence precincts, we create a joint rollout plan.
No. Our managed hosting services are cancellable monthly. We rely on quality and long-term collaboration rather than contract lock-in.
Yes. We design and develop multi-tenant platforms for multiple locations across Adelaide and South Australia – vineyards in Barossa, solar farms in the Mid North, defence sites at Osborne – with site-specific dashboards, access controls, and custom alerting logic.
