We capture machine data such as cycle times, temperatures, and vibrations via LoRaWAN sensors and visualize OEE metrics in real-time dashboards. This enables manufacturers like Miele or Nobilia to detect downtime instantly and optimize production lines based on data.
Yes. Our LoRaWAN sensors can be wirelessly attached to existing machines and equipment – without interfering with the control system. Ideal for retrofitting older production lines in Gütersloh's industrial facilities.
Temperature, humidity, vibration, power consumption, flow rates, and pressure readings. This data is automatically logged, and alerts are triggered immediately when thresholds are exceeded – ensuring seamless quality documentation.
Temperature and humidity monitoring in warehouses, fill-level sensors for containers and silos, door contact sensors, and inventory tracking. Data flows into real-time dashboards and can be integrated into existing WMS and ERP systems via API.
Yes. We create a radio coverage analysis upfront and plan the gateway positioning for the specific warehouse – including consideration of metal racking, high-bay storage systems, and structural conditions at Gütersloh's logistics sites.
Yes. We deliver all sensors and gateways with pre-set network parameters, payload decoders, and firmware updates. The devices are ready to use immediately and tuned to your platform.
Yes. Beyond standard dashboards with Grafana and ThingsBoard, we develop custom web apps and mobile apps for specific use cases – such as production cockpits, logistics tracking portals, or facility management apps for Gütersloh-based companies.
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, and OPC-UA, we integrate IoT data into existing ERP, MES, and WMS systems. At a manufacturing hub like Gütersloh, seamless connectivity with SAP, Navision, and industry-specific systems is a frequent requirement.
On GDPR-compliant infrastructure in German data centers. Alternatively, we set up the platform on-premise in your Gütersloh data center or server room.
We offer SLA tiers with availability guarantees up to 99.9%. Redundant infrastructure, automatic failover, and 24/7 monitoring ensure continuous operation – including for production-critical IoT applications.
Yes. We install and harden IoT platforms directly in your Gütersloh server room – including VPN connectivity for remote maintenance and proactive monitoring. Especially popular with companies that have strict data sovereignty requirements.
A standard installation is production-ready within a few days. For complex projects with custom development and multiple manufacturing sites, 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 in Gütersloh and East Westphalia – with location-specific dashboards, access controls, and custom alerting logic. Ideal for companies with distributed production and warehousing facilities.
