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.
From Unna, we manage IoT infrastructure along the A1/A2 corridor and in the eastern Ruhr area.
Our IoT services run under the merkaio brand. As an IoT system integrator, we guide you through the entire project – from analysis through network deployment and platform development to ongoing operations.

We handle the entire IoT value chain: requirements analysis, conception, platform architecture, hardware selection, on-site LoRaWAN network deployment, platform development (web apps, mobile apps, dashboards), and ongoing managed operations. A single partner for logistics, production, and building IoT.
It begins with an initial consultation where we assess your infrastructure and use cases – whether that is a warehouse on the A1/A2 corridor or a production hall in one of Unna's industrial parks. Then we plan the architecture, select hardware, survey radio coverage, install gateways, develop the platform and applications, and bring the system live. We manage everything after launch.
Yes. We provide independent consulting on IoT architecture, technology selection, network planning, and hardware evaluation. This is particularly popular with logistics companies in Unna exploring how IoT can optimize their operations before investing in a full deployment.
We primarily use Milesight gateways and sensors – CE-certified, durable, and well-suited for warehouse and production environments. For connecting existing machinery or legacy systems, we also integrate devices via MQTT, HTTP, Modbus, or OPC-UA.
Yes. We perform a detailed radio coverage analysis for each site, taking into account warehouse structures, container yards, and metal interference. Gateway positioning is optimized so that every sensor – indoors and outdoors – communicates reliably across the facility.
Yes. All devices ship with pre-set network parameters, payload decoders, and current firmware. They connect to your platform automatically upon installation – minimizing deployment time at busy logistics sites.
Yes. In addition to Grafana and ThingsBoard dashboards, we develop custom web apps and mobile apps – for example, logistics tracking portals, yard management tools, production cockpits, or cold chain monitoring apps specifically designed for Unna's industrial landscape.
Our core stack: ChirpStack as LoRaWAN network server, ThingsBoard (Community and Professional Edition) for device management and rule engines, Grafana for real-time visualization, and Node-RED for data flow automation. Custom applications are developed using React, Next.js, and React Native.
Yes. We integrate IoT platforms with warehouse management systems, transport management systems, ERP, and MES through REST APIs, MQTT, webhooks, and OPC-UA. Interface development is a standard part of every project.
All platforms are hosted on GDPR-compliant infrastructure in German data centers. We also offer on-premise deployment directly in your Unna facility for companies that need full physical control over their data.
We provide multiple SLA tiers with up to 99.9% availability. Redundant infrastructure, automatic failover, and 24/7 monitoring ensure that logistics-critical and production-critical applications run without interruption.
Yes. We install and harden the entire IoT platform in your local data center or server room. Remote maintenance is conducted via secured VPN, with the same proactive monitoring as our cloud-hosted solutions.
A standard deployment is production-ready within a few days. For complex multi-location setups along the A1/A2 corridor with custom app development, we create a detailed rollout plan together.
No. Our managed hosting and operations services are cancellable on a monthly basis. We build long-term partnerships through service quality, not through contractual lock-in.
Yes. We architect multi-tenant platforms that consolidate data from multiple facilities along the A1/A2 corridor and beyond – with site-specific dashboards, role-based access controls, and individual alerting rules for each location.
