We handle every phase of your IoT project: requirements analysis, conception, platform architecture, hardware selection, LoRaWAN network deployment on-site, platform development (web apps, mobile apps, dashboards), and ongoing managed operations. One partner for the entire chain.
It starts with an initial consultation where we assess your production environment and goals. Then we design the architecture, select hardware, perform a radio coverage analysis of your facility, install gateways, develop the platform and applications, and bring everything into production. After go-live, we operate and monitor the entire system.
Absolutely. We offer standalone consulting on IoT architecture, platform selection, LoRaWAN network planning, and hardware evaluation. Many industrial companies in Hamm begin with an advisory phase and then move into implementation once the concept is validated.
We primarily deploy Milesight gateways and sensors – CE-certified, reliable, and excellent value for industrial environments. Where needed, we also integrate devices with MQTT, HTTP, Modbus, or OPC-UA interfaces to connect existing machine parks.
Yes. Before deployment, we conduct a thorough radio coverage analysis that accounts for production halls, metal structures, and potential interference sources. Gateway positioning is tailored specifically to your site conditions in Hamm's commercial and industrial areas.
Yes. All devices arrive pre-staged with the correct network parameters, payload decoders, and firmware versions. You can install them on-site and they connect to your platform immediately – no manual configuration required.
Yes. In addition to standard Grafana and ThingsBoard dashboards, we develop tailored web apps and mobile apps – for example, production cockpits, machine status portals, or facility management tools specifically designed for Hamm's manufacturing sector.
Our core stack consists of ChirpStack as LoRaWAN network server, ThingsBoard (Community and Professional Edition) for device management and rule engines, Grafana for time-series visualization, and Node-RED for data flow automation. Custom applications are built with React, Next.js, and React Native.
Yes. We integrate IoT data into existing enterprise systems via REST APIs, MQTT, webhooks, and OPC-UA. Whether it is your ERP, MES, or warehouse management – interface development is a standard part of our project scope.
All platforms run on GDPR-compliant infrastructure in German data centers. Alternatively, we set up the complete stack on-premise in your Hamm server room for full physical control over your data.
We provide multiple SLA tiers with availability up to 99.9%. Redundant infrastructure, automatic failover, and 24/7 monitoring ensure that production-critical IoT applications in Hamm run without interruption.
Yes. We install and harden the entire IoT platform directly in your data center. Remote maintenance runs over a secured VPN connection, and we provide proactive monitoring just as with our cloud-hosted setups.
A standard setup is production-ready within a few days. For larger projects involving custom app development or multiple production lines, we create a joint rollout plan with clear milestones.
No. Our managed services are cancellable on a monthly basis. We believe in earning your trust through quality and reliable service rather than locking you into long contracts.
Yes. We design multi-tenant platforms that consolidate data from multiple production sites across Hamm and beyond – with location-specific dashboards, granular access controls, and individual alerting rules for each facility.
