Companies worldwide trust WZ-IT
Regional requirements, robust technology
Kraków is Poland's second largest city with approximately 800,000 inhabitants and one of Central Europe's most dynamic technology hubs. Home to major IT centers from Google, Motorola, IBM, Capgemini, and HSBC, the Kraków Technology Park special economic zone, and ArcelorMittal's steel works in Nowa Huta, the city drives diverse requirements for connected operations and intelligent infrastructure. We deliver IoT platforms remotely from Germany -- with the same EU868 frequency band and CET/CEST timezone, collaboration is seamless. All systems are configured and managed by WZ-IT.
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.
Your IoT platform is built and managed remotely from Germany. Hardware ships directly to Kraków, platforms are deployed and monitored 24/7 -- same timezone CET/CEST means real-time collaboration without scheduling overhead.
Automated 24/7 monitoring with alerts. Human response times and support coverage follow the selected service level; overnight P1 response is included with Production and Critical.
No ticket system, no call center. Your direct line to the engineer managing your IoT instance for Kraków -- with seamless communication in the same timezone.
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.

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.

Technical foundation
We rely on a proven open-source stack: ChirpStack as LoRaWAN network server (configured for EU868 -- the same frequency band used in Germany and Poland), ThingsBoard for device management and dashboards, Grafana for real-time visualization, and Node-RED for data routing. All hosted on hardened Linux servers with automatic backups and security 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.
We plan and operate IoT platforms for companies and organizations across the region and beyond.
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.

We support the IoT initiative from requirements analysis through architecture, hardware selection, platform setup, and sensor integration to custom dashboards and managed operations. WZ-IT prepares gateways and sensors
Absolutely. Germany and Poland share the same CET/CEST timezone, which means zero scheduling overhead. Meetings, support calls, and incident response happen in real-time during regular business hours -- no time zone gaps, no delayed handovers. This is a significant advantage compared to projects in other regions.
We select and integrate IP67-rated Milesight sensors designed for harsh industrial environments including high temperatures, dust, vibration, and electromagnetic interference. For condition monitoring at facilities like ArcelorMittal in Nowa Huta, we use vibration sensors, temperature probes, and current clamps -- all connected via LoRaWAN on the EU868 band.
LoRaWAN vibration and temperature sensors continuously monitor machine health parameters. ThingsBoard processes the data streams and applies threshold rules and trend analysis. When values deviate from normal patterns, the platform triggers alerts before a failure occurs -- enabling maintenance teams to intervene during planned windows rather than reacting to breakdowns.
Yes. We design multi-building LoRaWAN deployments with gateway positioning optimized for campus-scale coverage. A single ThingsBoard instance manages sensors across all buildings -- with building-specific and room-level dashboards, role-based access for facility managers, and centralized alerting. Ideal for Kraków Technology Park and university campuses.
Yes. Via REST APIs, MQTT, webhooks, and BACnet/Modbus gateways, we integrate IoT sensor data into existing BMS, ERP, and facility management systems. Interface development is part of our standard service scope -- ensuring your Kraków campus IoT data flows into the tools your teams already use.
ChirpStack is an open-source LoRaWAN network server that manages gateway and device communication. We use it because it provides full control over the network stack, supports EU868 frequency configuration for Poland and Germany, and avoids vendor lock-in. Combined with ThingsBoard for device management and Grafana for visualization, it forms a proven, flexible IoT platform.
Yes. Poland and Germany both operate under the EU868 LoRaWAN frequency band (863-870 MHz) with identical channel plans and duty cycle regulations. This means all hardware, gateway configurations, and network server settings are fully compatible -- no frequency adaptations or special configurations needed for Kraków deployments.
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 and develop multi-tenant platforms for multiple locations across the Kraków metropolitan area -- with location-specific dashboards, role-based access controls, and custom alerting logic. Ideal for enterprises managing industrial facilities, tech park buildings, and commercial properties from a single pane of glass.
