FAQ about IoT in Iserlohn

Answers about our IoT services in the Märkischer Kreis – from network planning and hardware selection to platform development and managed operations for metalworking, automotive, and production.

Themen

Services & Process

We cover the full spectrum: analysis of your production environment, conception, platform design, hardware selection, LoRaWAN network deployment accounting for industrial conditions like steel structures and machinery halls, development of web apps, mobile apps, and dashboards, as well as ongoing managed operations. Everything end to end.

It starts with an on-site walkthrough – we assess production facilities, machinery layout, and existing infrastructure. This is followed by conception, hardware selection for industrial applications, radio coverage planning for metal environments, gateway installation, platform setup with custom dashboards and web apps, go-live, and ongoing operations.

Yes. We advise on IoT architecture, network planning in industrial environments, platform selection, and hardware evaluation – even if you intend to implement internally or with a different partner.

LoRaWAN & Hardware

Primarily Milesight gateways and sensors – CE-certified and suited for industrial environments. For specialized applications like vibration, pressure, or temperature monitoring in metalworking, we also integrate sensors from other manufacturers via MQTT, HTTP, or Modbus.

Yes, with proper planning. Metal walls and large machines can affect radio propagation. Through strategic gateway positioning – for example at elevated positions or using directional antennas – and potentially additional repeaters, reliable coverage can be achieved even in challenging industrial environments.

Yes. All devices are shipped with pre-set network parameters, payload decoders, and current firmware. After mounting on the machine or in the facility, they are immediately operational.

Platform & Development

Yes. Beyond standard dashboards in Grafana and ThingsBoard, we build custom web apps and mobile apps – for example, mobile machine monitoring, production cockpits, or maintenance planners with predictive analytics.

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 machine data, energy data, and environmental data to be analyzed together and forwarded to existing ERP or MES systems.

Hosting & Security

On GDPR-compliant infrastructure in German data centers. Alternatively, we install the platform on-premise in your own server room in Iserlohn – 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 production and machine data.

Yes. We install and harden the entire IoT stack directly in your data center. 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 facility analysis, industrial network deployment, 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 with multiple production sites – whether Iserlohn, Hemer, Menden, or Altena. Each location gets its own dashboards, access controls, and alerting profiles.
