Answers about our IoT services in Castrop-Rauxel and the northern Ruhr area – from municipal sensors and commercial park monitoring to managed operations for utilities, SMEs, and environmental surveillance.
Themen
Municipal IoT & Smart City
We deliver smart city solutions for street lighting control, energy monitoring of municipal properties, water supply surveillance, and building automation. From sensors to a central dashboard for Stadtwerke Castrop-Rauxel – everything end to end.
LoRaWAN sensors capture the status of individual lights, report failures in real time, and enable demand-based dimming. Additionally, energy sensors monitor consumption in municipal buildings – all visualized in a central dashboard with automatic alerting.
Yes. We advise on IoT architecture, network planning across the urban area, platform selection, and hardware evaluation – even if you intend to implement internally or with a different partner.
LoRaWAN & Hardware
We analyze the urban area along the Rhine-Herne Canal, the commercial zones in Ickern and Bladenhorst, and the residential areas. Gateway locations are chosen to achieve full coverage – accounting for building density and canal infrastructure.
Yes. The flat topography of the Ruhr area favors LoRaWAN range. In industrial zones, we plan gateway positioning considering warehouse structures and metallic elements to ensure reliable coverage.
Yes. All devices are shipped with pre-set network parameters, payload decoders, and current firmware. After mounting on streetlights, buildings, or canal infrastructure, they are immediately operational.
Platform & Development
Yes. Beyond standard dashboards in Grafana and ThingsBoard, we build custom web apps and mobile apps – for example, street lighting management, canal water level overviews, or energy monitoring cockpits for commercial parks.
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 lighting data, energy consumption, and environmental data to be analyzed together and forwarded to existing administrative systems.
Hosting & Security
On GDPR-compliant infrastructure in German data centers. Alternatively, we install the platform on-premise in your own server room in Castrop-Rauxel – 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 municipal infrastructure such as street lighting and water supply.
Yes. We install and harden the entire IoT stack directly in your data center or at the municipal utilities. Via a VPN-secured connection, we handle proactive monitoring and remote maintenance without data leaving your network.
Getting Started & Terms
Simple monitoring setups can be operational within a few days. More complex projects involving urban area analysis, network deployment along the canal, and custom 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 and municipalities with multiple sites – whether Castrop-Rauxel, Herne, Recklinghausen, or Dortmund. Each location gets its own dashboards, access controls, and alerting profiles.
