Regional requirements, robust technology
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.
Sensors, gateways, data platform, business application, identities, interfaces, and operations are planned together. Additional sites, cloud services, or local edge systems can then build on the same architecture model.
Your IoT stack runs on secure servers in European data centers. Control over data location and access and documented security measures for Adelaide-based enterprises.
Automated 24/7 monitoring with alerts. Human response times and support coverage follow the selected service level; overnight P1 response is included with Production and Critical.
No ticket system, no call center. Your direct line to the engineer managing your IoT instance for Adelaide.
Concrete services
You can start with one clearly defined requirement. Architecture, devices, platform, applications, and operations are planned so the first component can become part of one coherent IoT system when needed.

Scalable dashboards for tracking generation, degradation, and maintenance schedules across distributed renewable assets in South Australia.
Technical approach
ThingsBoard PE, Grafana, Node-RED, VPN
The examples illustrate possible application patterns. Architecture, radio coverage, device selection, data model, and operating scope are assessed for the specific project.
One system instead of isolated silos
Value does not come from a single sensor or dashboard. What matters is an end-to-end data path with clear interfaces, access rules, and operating responsibilities.
Sensors, gateways, machines, PLCs, and existing data sources are selected or connected according to the measurement task, environment, and protocol.
View componentLoRaWAN, MQTT, cellular links, edge gateways, and private networks move data between sites, platforms, and other systems in a controlled way.
View componentChirpStack, ThingsBoard, Grafana, databases, and rule engines provide device management, processing, history, and alerting.
View componentDashboards, portals, mobile apps, and ERP, MES, and API integrations put IoT data into the actual workflows.
View componentMonitoring, backups, updates, incident response, and service levels keep the platform and data paths maintainable and transparent.
View componentThe architecture can grow with more devices, sites, applications, and deployment locations without introducing isolated connections or hard-to-maintain special paths for every extension.
Technical foundation
We rely on a proven open-source stack: ChirpStack as LoRaWAN network server (AU915 frequency plan), ThingsBoard for device management and dashboards, Grafana for real-time visualization, and Node-RED for data routing. All hosted on hardened Linux servers with automatic backups and security updates. Hardware is shipped AU915-compliant and pre-configured for immediate deployment.

Deployment models

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.
Project path
The initial step remains manageable. Device count, architecture, integrations, and operating responsibilities are defined only after the technical assessment.
Capture measurements, sites, users, existing systems, alert paths, and the expected business outcome.
Combine radio path, devices, platform, data model, interfaces, and security requirements in a testable design.
Provision devices, configure services, process data, and connect dashboards or business applications.
Agree monitoring, updates, backups, and response paths, then add further sites or capabilities in a controlled way.
Region and scale
A regional entry point does not limit the architecture. Platforms can cover multiple plants, properties, fields, or customer sites under one operating model.
From our base in Germany, we remotely manage IoT infrastructure across the Adelaide metropolitan area and greater South Australia.
Industries
The technical foundation can be adapted to different measurement tasks and business processes.
Specialist services
Dedicated service pages explain platforms, development, LoRaWAN, and visualization in detail.
Enquiry
Briefly describe the measurement task, sites, existing devices, and desired outcome. We will assess architecture, platform, integration, and possible operations.

Themen
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 select and integrate 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.
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 select and integrate 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.
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.
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.
The timeline depends on the platform, device count, radio planning, data paths, integrations, and operating model. After the technical assessment, you receive a rollout plan with prerequisites, dependencies, and milestones.
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.
