FAQ about IoT in Melbourne

Answers about our IoT services, LoRaWAN network deployment, platform development, and remote project delivery for Melbourne.

Themen

Research & Campus IoT

Yes. We design and operate IoT platforms for smart campus environments -- lab monitoring, building occupancy, energy tracking, and research data acquisition. The architecture scales across multiple buildings, faculties, and campuses at institutions like the University of Melbourne or Monash University.

LoRaWAN sensors measure temperature, humidity, CO2, and air pressure in labs and cleanrooms. Data is transmitted to ChirpStack and visualised in Grafana or ThingsBoard dashboards -- with automatic alerting on threshold violations. Battery-powered sensors require no cabling and last years.

Yes. Via REST APIs, MQTT, and webhooks, we integrate sensor data into existing research databases, LIMS, and campus management systems. Data export in standard formats (CSV, JSON, InfluxDB) is supported out of the box.

Manufacturing & Industry

We host IoT platforms for production monitoring, condition monitoring, and quality assurance. Vibration sensors, temperature probes, and current sensors monitor machines and production lines in real-time. Predictive maintenance dashboards reduce unplanned downtime -- relevant for the Geelong Corridor and Dandenong industrial zones.

Yes. LoRaWAN sensors are non-invasive and battery-powered -- they can be attached to existing machinery without modifications. We also integrate via Modbus, OPC-UA, or MQTT for machines with existing PLCs or SCADA systems.

Yes. We create a radio coverage analysis upfront and plan gateway positioning for the specific facility -- including consideration of steel structures, heavy machinery, and interference sources. AU915 frequency plan ensures compliance with Australian regulations.

Smart City & Urban IoT

We build IoT platforms for urban infrastructure: smart parking occupancy detection, environmental monitoring (air quality, noise, temperature), tram network sensor integration, and public asset management. All data is visualised in real-time dashboards with automatic alerting.

Yes. LoRaWAN sensors can monitor vibration, temperature, and structural health of tram infrastructure. Data feeds into central dashboards for predictive maintenance and operational planning -- reducing downtime and improving safety.

Battery-powered LoRaWAN sensors measure air quality (PM2.5, PM10, NO2), noise levels, temperature, and humidity across the CBD and Docklands. Data is aggregated on ThingsBoard and visualised in Grafana -- with configurable alerts and public data portals.

Platform & Technology

Australia uses the AU915 frequency plan (915-928 MHz). We configure all gateways and sensors accordingly and comply with ACMA regulatory requirements. Our standard hardware (Milesight) supports AU915 natively.

Our core stack: ChirpStack as LoRaWAN network server, 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, OPC-UA, and Modbus, we integrate IoT data into existing ERP, MES, SCADA, and campus management systems. Our ABCO Water project is built on exactly this kind of brownfield integration.

Getting Started & Terms

A standard installation is production-ready within a few days. For complex projects with custom development and multiple sites across Melbourne and Victoria, we create a joint rollout plan. Remote delivery does not slow down go-live.

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 Melbourne, Victoria, and Australia -- with site-specific dashboards, access controls, and custom alerting logic. Proven at scale with ABCO Water.
