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.
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.
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.
ChirpStack, ThingsBoard, and Grafana on hardened infrastructure. Including automatic backups, security updates, and 24/7 monitoring for Adelaide's defence, agriculture, and energy enterprises.
View serviceWe plan radio coverage and gateway positions from site and building data, select suitable gateways and sensors, provision devices and payload decoders, and integrate them with ChirpStack. Device onboarding, data validation, and radio testing are coordinated with the platform.
View serviceEnd-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.
View serviceConnect machines, PLCs, HMIs, edge systems, ERP, and MES through documented protocols and interfaces in one controlled data flow.
View serviceRegional application fields
Typical starting points for companies and organizations in Adelaide and the surrounding economic region.
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.
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.
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.

Reviews & projects
WZ-IT moved our studio infrastructure from decentralised individual devices to a central platform: every site is securely connected via VPN, new devices are onboarded automatically and an entire site is provisioned from a template, without manual steps on location. What impressed me most is the breadth and depth of their knowledge: Timo and Robin are not a typical IT provider who sets up a server and leaves. The two of them think their way into highly complex infrastructure and software topics, work through every requirement we put in front of them, and build networking, provisioning and operations so that everything fits together in the end. WZ-IT is an excellent partner for complex software, network and architecture projects.

International
WZ-IT designs, develops and operates infrastructure and software for clients in Germany and internationally. We deliver projects remotely and continue supporting them in ongoing operations after go-live.
IoT in Adelaide
Briefly describe the measurement task, sites, existing devices, and desired outcome. We will assess architecture, platform, integration, and possible operations.
No risk: worst case, you leave with a clearer understanding of your project than before.
WZ-IT's advice on our Azure migration was technically sound and completely non-binding right from the intro call - we took away a great deal.
