Companies worldwide trust WZ-IT
Regional requirements, robust technology
Soest is the economic center of the Börde region - an area with a strong SME sector, high-tech agriculture, and numerous hidden champions. Digitizing fields, production, and building technology requires stable IoT platforms. We host and operate the infrastructure where sensor data is reliably processed.
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 stack runs on privacy-focused servers. Data sovereignty for Soest-based companies - from agricultural cooperatives to industrial enterprises.
ChirpStack, ThingsBoard, and Grafana - professionally installed, hardened, and maintained. No proprietary lock-ins.
Your contact person knows your instance and your region. Direct communication instead of anonymous support tickets.
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.

Hosted monitoring platform for machine park surveillance, quality metrics, and energy consumption. Alerting on threshold violations directly to your dashboard.
Technical approach
ThingsBoard, Grafana, MQTT
Central hosting for temperature and humidity monitoring in warehouses, cold storage, and production rooms. Seamless documentation and automatic alerting.
Technical approach
ChirpStack, Grafana, Node-RED
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.

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 Soest, Bad Sassendorf, Möhnesee, Lippetal, Welver, Ense. 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 Soest 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 work primarily with Milesight gateways and sensors - robust, CE-certified, and well-suited for both outdoor agricultural environments and indoor commercial use. We also integrate devices using MQTT, HTTP, or Modbus when connecting to existing equipment.
Yes. Every sensor and gateway ships with pre-set network parameters, payload decoders, and up-to-date firmware. They connect to your platform out of the box - ideal for rapid rollouts across large agricultural areas.
Yes. Beyond standard Grafana and ThingsBoard dashboards, we build custom web apps and mobile apps - such as field monitoring portals, harvest tracking tools, or production overview apps tailored to the specific needs of Soest-based businesses.
Yes. We connect IoT platforms to existing systems via REST APIs, MQTT, and webhooks. Whether it is a farm management system, an ERP, or inventory management - building these interfaces is part of our standard 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 build multi-tenant platforms that aggregate data from multiple sites - whether several fields across the Börde or different business locations in the Soest district. Each site gets its own dashboards, user access, and alerting configuration.
