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 Bottrop, we manage IoT infrastructure across the entire Emscher-Lippe region and the northern Ruhr Area.
React Native apps for iOS & Android: device pairing, sensor data, push notifications — GDPR-compliant.
Plan, deploy, and operate LoRaWAN networks. Gateway installation, ChirpStack, sensor integration – GDPR-compliant.
Multi-tenant IoT platforms on ThingsBoard: custom dashboards, rule engine, API integration – GDPR-compliant.
Custom rule chains, white-label, API integration and managed hosting. CE & PE – GDPR-compliant.
Custom dashboards, embedded panels, alerting and self-hosting. IoT monitoring with InfluxDB and Prometheus – GDPR-compliant.
Answers about our IoT services in Bottrop – from energy efficiency monitoring and network deployment to platform development and managed operations for climate protection, renewable energy, and smart city.

Through real-time energy monitoring in retrofitted buildings, automated consumption analysis, and CO2 reduction tracking. LoRaWAN sensors capture heating consumption, room climate, and electricity usage – the hosted platform aggregates the data into climate protection KPIs and identifies savings potential.
Yes. Via MQTT and HTTP interfaces, we integrate smart home systems such as KNX, Zigbee, or Z-Wave into the central IoT platform. This allows building automation and energy monitoring to be consolidated across entire quarters and analyzed in real time.
Yes. We develop customized dashboards for CO2 accounting at building, quarter, and city level. The platform calculates reduction values, compares actual against target figures, and generates automatic reports for municipal climate protection reporting.
Bottrop's compact urban structure and open brownfield sites provide excellent conditions for LoRaWAN. A few strategically placed gateways – for example on the Tetraeder hill or on municipal buildings – reliably cover large parts of the urban area.
For brownfield sites, we deploy robust outdoor sensors: soil moisture, air quality (PM2.5, PM10, NO2), temperature, and solar irradiance. Milesight sensors with IP67 protection rating are designed for harsh environments on former industrial sites like the Prosper grounds.
Yes. Via Modbus and M-Bus bridges, existing meters, heat quantity meters, and building controls can be integrated into the LoRaWAN network. This allows legacy buildings to be digitized without extensive rewiring.
Yes. Beyond standard dashboards in Grafana and ThingsBoard, we build custom web apps and mobile apps – for example, quarter-level energy overviews, CO2 cockpits for city administration, or tenant apps with individual consumption feedback.
Our stack: ChirpStack as the LoRaWAN network server, ThingsBoard for device management and rule engine, Grafana for real-time dashboards, and Node-RED for data flow automation. Custom apps are built with React, Next.js, and React Native.
Yes. Via ThingsBoard and Node-RED, we integrate LoRaWAN, MQTT, HTTP, and Modbus sources into a unified platform. This allows PV yields, building consumption, and air quality data to be analyzed together and forwarded to existing municipal systems.
On GDPR-compliant infrastructure in German data centers. Alternatively, we install the platform on-premise in your own server room in Bottrop – including VPN connectivity for our remote maintenance.
SLA tiers with availability guarantees up to 99.9%. Redundant infrastructure, automatic failover, and 24/7 monitoring ensure uninterrupted operations – even for critical energy data and climate protection reporting.
Yes. We install and harden the entire IoT stack directly in your data center. Via a VPN-secured connection, we handle proactive monitoring and remote maintenance without data leaving your network.
Simple energy monitoring setups can be operational within a few days. More complex projects involving quarter analysis, network deployment, and custom dashboard development are planned in phases with clearly defined milestones.
No. Our managed services are cancellable monthly. We rely on strong collaboration and demonstrable results rather than contract lock-in.
Yes. We design multi-tenant platforms for companies, utilities, and the municipality with multiple properties – whether Innovation City quarter, Prosper area, Kirchhellen, or Batenbrock. Each location gets its own dashboards, access controls, and alerting profiles.
