Regional requirements, robust technology
Hamm combines industrial tradition with modern economic strength. Located on the eastern edge of the Ruhr area, the city is home to numerous manufacturing companies and mid-sized enterprises that are increasingly digitizing their production. We operate the IoT platforms where sensor data from production, building technology, and logistics converge - securely hosted and monitored around the clock.
Sensors, gateways, data platform, business application, identities, interfaces, and operations are planned together. Additional sites, cloud services, or local edge systems can then build on the same architecture model.
All IoT platforms run on German servers. Control over data location and access and compliance for Hamm's industrial enterprises.
From a single production line to cross-location monitoring - your IoT platform grows with your requirements.
Direct contact with your engineer. Short paths, fast response times, and personal support for companies in Hamm.
Concrete services
You can start with one clearly defined requirement. Architecture, devices, platform, applications, and operations are planned so the first component can become part of one coherent IoT system when needed.

Typical starting points for companies and organizations in Hamm and the surrounding economic region.
Hosting the monitoring platform for machine park surveillance, energy consumption, and production KPIs. Hosted dashboards with real-time alerting on threshold violations.
Technical approach
ThingsBoard, Grafana, MQTT
Central hosting for temperature, humidity, and CO2 monitoring in production halls and office buildings. Automatic alerts on critical deviations.
Technical approach
ChirpStack, ThingsBoard, Milesight
Hosted platform for capturing and visualizing energy consumption. Time-series analysis, benchmark dashboards, and automatic reports for energy management.
Technical approach
Grafana, Node-RED, ThingsBoard
The examples illustrate possible application patterns. Architecture, radio coverage, device selection, data model, and operating scope are assessed for the specific project.
One system instead of isolated silos
Value does not come from a single sensor or dashboard. What matters is an end-to-end data path with clear interfaces, access rules, and operating responsibilities.
Sensors, gateways, machines, PLCs, and existing data sources are selected or connected according to the measurement task, environment, and protocol.
View componentLoRaWAN, MQTT, cellular links, edge gateways, and private networks move data between sites, platforms, and other systems in a controlled way.

View componentMonitoring, backups, updates, incident response, and service levels keep the platform and data paths maintainable and transparent.
View componentThe architecture can grow with more devices, sites, applications, and deployment locations without introducing isolated connections or hard-to-maintain special paths for every extension.
Technical foundation
Our IoT stack is based on proven open-source components: ChirpStack for LoRaWAN, ThingsBoard for device management and rule engine, Grafana for visualization, and Node-RED for data flows. Operated on hardened Linux servers with TLS encryption, regular backups, and automatic updates.

Deployment models

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.
Project path
The initial step remains manageable. Device count, architecture, integrations, and operating responsibilities are defined only after the technical assessment.
Capture measurements, sites, users, existing systems, alert paths, and the expected business outcome.
Combine radio path, devices, platform, data model, interfaces, and security requirements in a testable design.
Provision devices, configure services, process data, and connect dashboards or business applications.
Agree monitoring, updates, backups, and response paths, then add further sites or capabilities in a controlled way.
Region and scale
A regional entry point does not limit the architecture. Platforms can cover multiple plants, properties, fields, or customer sites under one operating model.
The regional scope includes Hamm, Bönen, Ahlen, Welver, Werne, Bergkamen. Multiple sites can share one platform while retaining separate roles, data spaces and alert paths.
Industries
The technical foundation can be adapted to different measurement tasks and business processes.
Specialist services
Dedicated service pages explain platforms, development, LoRaWAN, and visualization in detail.
Enquiry
Briefly describe the measurement task, sites, existing devices, and desired outcome. We will assess architecture, platform, integration, and possible operations.

Themen
We support IoT projects in Hamm from requirements analysis, architecture, and hardware selection through platform setup and sensor integration to dashboards, interfaces, and managed operations.
After the initial consultation, we plan architecture, radio coverage, and hardware from the available site data. We then configure devices, ChirpStack, data paths, dashboards, and integrations and align validation with ongoing operations.
We primarily select and preconfigure Milesight gateways and sensors - CE-certified, reliable, and well suited to industrial environments. Where needed, we also integrate devices with MQTT, HTTP, Modbus, or OPC-UA interfaces to connect existing machine parks.
Yes. Gateways and sensors are provided with coordinated network parameters, current firmware, and prepared payload decoders. Device onboarding, data validation, and functional testing are aligned with the platform.
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.
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.
By default, we operate the platform on agreed infrastructure in German data centers.
Yes. We install and harden the IoT platform remotely on your provided infrastructure.
The timeline depends on the platform, device count, radio planning, data paths, integrations, and operating model. After the technical assessment, you receive a rollout plan with prerequisites, dependencies, and milestones.
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.
