Themen
Trade Fair Infrastructure & Events
We operate IoT platforms for visitor flow analysis, indoor climate control, and energy monitoring in exhibition halls. Sensors capture occupancy, CO2 levels, and temperature in real time – ideal for large-scale events like MEDICA, drupa, or K-Messe.
Yes. We offer flexible IoT setups for individual events: rapid deployment and teardown of LoRaWAN gateways and sensors, temporary dashboards, and event-specific analytics. The platform scales with the size of each event.
Visitor frequency per hall and entrance, room temperature, humidity, CO2 concentration, energy consumption, door contacts, parking occupancy, and waste bin fill levels. All data is visualized in real-time dashboards.
Smart Building & Building Automation
Office buildings in Medienhafen, exhibition halls, retail spaces on Königsallee, hotels, and Düsseldorf Airport. Anywhere indoor climate, energy consumption, and building condition need efficient monitoring.
Yes. We create a radio coverage analysis upfront and plan the gateway positioning for the specific site – including consideration of steel structures, hall roofing, and changing exhibition layouts.
Yes. Through continuous monitoring of heating, cooling, lighting, and ventilation, we identify savings potential. Experience shows that IoT-driven building automation can reduce energy costs by 15–30%.
Retail Analytics & Commerce
Foot traffic measurement, occupancy management, cold chain monitoring in food departments, climate control, and digital signage. We develop custom dashboards and mobile apps for branch managers and store operators.
Anonymized people counters at entrances capture visitor frequency. The data is transmitted via LoRaWAN to the platform and displayed in real-time dashboards – including historical comparisons, peak-time analysis, and capacity alerts.
Yes. Via REST APIs, MQTT, and webhooks, we integrate IoT data into existing ERP, POS, and merchandise management systems. Interface development is part of our standard service scope.
Hosting & Security
On GDPR-compliant infrastructure in German data centers. Alternatively, we set up the platform on-premise in your Düsseldorf data center.
We offer SLA tiers with availability guarantees up to 99.9%. Redundant infrastructure, automatic failover, and 24/7 monitoring ensure continuous operation – even during trade fair peak loads.
Yes. We install and harden IoT platforms directly in your Düsseldorf server room – including VPN connectivity for remote maintenance and proactive monitoring.
Getting Started & Terms
A standard installation is production-ready within a few days. For complex projects with custom development for trade fairs or multiple retail locations, 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 locations across Düsseldorf and beyond – from Messe to Medienhafen to retail branches. With location-specific dashboards, access controls, and custom alerting logic.
