From LoRaWAN network planning to mine site condition monitoring and managed IoT hosting – your IoT service provider for Perth's mining, oil & gas, and water management sectors. AU915-compliant, scalable, remotely delivered.
Perth is Australia's mining and resources capital – the gateway to the Pilbara and Goldfields mining regions, and home to the headquarters of BHP, Rio Tinto, and Fortescue. As the hub for North West Shelf oil & gas operations and critical water infrastructure including desalination plants, Perth drives demand for connected remote operations, asset monitoring, and intelligent resource management. We deliver the IoT platforms that power this connectivity – reliably, scalably, and remotely managed from Germany with AU915 LoRaWAN compliance.

We deploy LoRaWAN gateways and sensors at the mine site for local data collection – vibration, temperature, dust levels, and equipment status. Data is transmitted to a centrally hosted IoT platform accessible from Perth headquarters. ATEX-compatible sensors are available for hazardous zones. The entire platform is managed remotely by WZ-IT.
We provide ATEX-certified and IECEx-rated sensors for hazardous mine environments – including vibration sensors for heavy machinery, dust and particulate monitors, gas detectors, and temperature probes. All sensors are pre-configured for immediate deployment and integrated into your monitoring dashboard.
Yes. By continuously monitoring vibration patterns, motor temperatures, and operating parameters, our IoT platform detects anomalies before failures occur. Automated alerts and trend analysis dashboards enable maintenance teams to plan interventions – reducing unplanned downtime and extending equipment life across Pilbara and Goldfields operations.
We deploy LoRaWAN sensors along pipeline corridors for pressure, flow rate, temperature, and leak detection. With AU915-compliant gateways providing long-range coverage, data is aggregated on the central IoT platform in real time. Automated alerting ensures rapid response to anomalies across the North West Shelf and Kwinana infrastructure.
Yes. Via MQTT, REST APIs, and secure VPN tunnels, we integrate data from offshore platforms into the central ThingsBoard instance. This provides unified visibility across offshore and onshore assets – accessible from Perth offices with role-based access controls and custom dashboards.
We integrate gas leak detectors, VOC sensors, H2S monitors, flame detectors, and environmental monitoring stations. All sensor data feeds into automated alerting workflows with configurable thresholds – supporting compliance with Australian safety and environmental regulations.
Our IoT platform monitors critical desalination parameters: membrane pressure differentials, flow rates, energy consumption, water quality metrics, and equipment status. Real-time dashboards and automated alerts enable operators to optimize plant performance and respond quickly to anomalies.
Yes. We deploy LoRaWAN-connected water level sensors in bore holes and aquifer monitoring points. Data is transmitted to the central platform for trend analysis, threshold alerting, and compliance reporting – supporting sustainable groundwater management across Perth Metro and regional WA.
Yes. We integrate smart water meters and distribution network sensors (pressure, flow, leak detection) into a unified IoT platform. Real-time visualization in Grafana and ThingsBoard enables water utilities to detect leaks early, optimize pressure management, and reduce non-revenue water losses.
Australia uses the AU915 frequency plan for LoRaWAN. All hardware we deploy – gateways and sensors – is configured for AU915 compliance. Our ChirpStack network server is set up with the correct frequency channels for reliable operation across Perth and Western Australia.
Yes. Via OPC-UA, Modbus, MQTT, and REST APIs, we bridge IoT data into existing SCADA and control systems. This is particularly relevant for Perth's mining, oil & gas, and water utilities that operate established industrial control infrastructure.
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 and SCADA bridging. Custom apps are built with React, Next.js, and React Native.
A standard platform installation is production-ready within a few days. Hardware is shipped AU915-compliant and pre-configured. For complex multi-site projects spanning Perth, Pilbara, and regional WA, 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 sites across Western Australia – with site-specific dashboards, role-based access controls, and custom alerting logic. Central oversight from Perth with drill-down capability to individual mine sites, refineries, or water assets.
