FAQ about IoT in Lünen
Answers about our IoT services in Lünen – from aluminium production monitoring and recycling sensors to port logistics and managed operations for industry and waste management.
Themen
Aluminium & Metal Processing
Temperature sensors and current sensors are attached to electrolysis furnaces and connected to our hosted platform via LoRaWAN or industrial protocols. Real-time dashboards display furnace temperatures, energy consumption, and anomalies – threshold alerting notifies maintenance before failures occur.
Yes. We host platforms that capture and visualize energy consumption per furnace line, rolling mill, or smelting furnace at a granular level. Load peaks, consumption trends, and savings potential are automatically detected and compiled into reports.
Yes. Through condition monitoring with vibration, temperature, and current sensors, we detect wear patterns early. The hosted platform analyzes trends and triggers maintenance alerts before unplanned downtime occurs.
Recycling & Waste Management
Ultrasonic or radar sensors measure fill levels in containers and transmit data via LoRaWAN to our platform. Dispatchers see at a glance which containers need collection – optimizing routes and reducing empty runs.
Yes. GPS trackers and fill-level data are consolidated on a central platform. Dynamic route planning based on actual fill levels saves fuel, reduces CO2 emissions, and improves service quality.
Yes. Sensors on conveyor belts, screens, and sorting units deliver throughput, vibration, and temperature data. The platform visualizes plant efficiency in real time and alerts on malfunctions or performance drops.
Platform & Development
Yes. Beyond standard dashboards in Grafana and ThingsBoard, we build custom web apps and mobile apps – for example, mobile production cockpits, container tracking overviews, or port logistics dashboards.
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 production data, waste management logistics, and port monitoring to be analyzed together and forwarded to ERP systems.
Hosting & Security
On GDPR-compliant infrastructure in German data centers. Alternatively, we install the platform on-premise in your own server room in Lünen – 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 – critical for continuous production processes in aluminium manufacturing.
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 production integration, fleet integration, 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 sites – whether Lünen, Dortmund, Unna, or Bergkamen. Each location gets its own dashboards, access controls, and alerting profiles.
