FAQ about IoT in Mülheim
Answers about our IoT services in Mülheim an der Ruhr - from water supply monitoring and building automation to laboratory sensors and managed operations for utilities, research, and the services sector.
Themen
Water & Supply Infrastructure
LoRaWAN sensors capture pressure, flow rates, and water quality parameters directly within the supply network. Data is transmitted in real time to the hosted IoT platform, where automatic threshold alerting and trend analysis run. This enables early detection of anomalies in Mülheim's water network.
Yes. By combining pressure sensors, flow meters, and acoustic sensors at strategic points in the pipeline network, pressure drops and unusual flow patterns can be identified. The system alerts automatically so leaks can be localized before major damage occurs.
Typical parameters include temperature, turbidity, pH value, conductivity, and residual substances. Sensors report continuously to the platform, where historical trends, threshold monitoring, and automatic reports for compliance documentation are available.
LoRaWAN & Hardware
For water networks, we use IP68-rated sensors for pressure and flow along with Milesight gateways in outdoor enclosures. For building automation, compact indoor sensors for room climate, CO2, and occupancy are deployed. All devices are CE-certified and designed for continuous operation.
Yes. The dense urban fabric in Mülheim requires careful radio planning, but through strategic gateway placement - for example on rooftops in the city center and at the harbor - comprehensive coverage can be achieved. We conduct a radio coverage analysis beforehand.
Yes. Non-invasive LoRaWAN sensors can be retrofitted without intervening in existing pipelines and equipment. Sensors are mounted at strategic points and begin transmitting data to the hosted platform immediately after installation.
Platform & Development
Yes. Beyond standard dashboards in Grafana and ThingsBoard, we build custom web apps and mobile apps - for example, mobile pipeline network monitoring, lab climate overviews, or energy management cockpits for office districts.
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 supply data, building data, and lab measurements to be analyzed together and forwarded to existing systems.
Hosting & Security
On GDPR-compliant infrastructure in German data centers. Alternatively, we install the platform on-premise in your own server room in Mülheim - 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 - especially important for drinking water supply and research lab 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 network planning for waterworks sites, building automation, 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 utilities, research institutions, and companies with multiple sites - whether Mülheim city center, Saarn, Styrum, or Heißen. Each location gets its own dashboards, access controls, and alerting profiles.

“Timo and Robin from WZ-IT set up a RocketChat server for us - and I couldn't be more satisfied! From the initial consultation to the final implementation, everything was absolutely professional, efficient, and to my complete satisfaction. I particularly appreciate the clear communication, transparent pricing, and the comprehensive expertise that both bring to the table. Even after the setup, they take care of the maintenance, which frees up my time enormously and allows me to focus on other important areas of my business - with the good feeling that our IT is in the best hands. I can recommend WZ-IT without reservation and look forward to continuing our collaboration! (translated)”
