FAQ about IoT in Unna

Answers about our IoT services, LoRaWAN network deployment, platform development, and project process for logistics, industrial parks, and production companies in Unna.

Themen

Services & Process

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.

LoRaWAN & Hardware

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.

Platform & Development

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.

Hosting & Security

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.

Getting Started & Terms

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.

I recently worked with Timo and the WZ-IT team, and honestly, it turned out to be one of the best tech decisions I have made for my business. Right from the start, Timo took the time to walk me through every step in a simple and calm way. No matter how many questions I had, he never rushed me. The results speak for themselves. With WZ-IT, we reduced our monthly expenses from $1,300 down to $250. This was a huge win for us.

Proxmox & VirtualizationBackupVPNSecurity
WZ-IT provided very competent support in implementing our server and virtualization infrastructure. As part of the project, a Proxmox-based virtualization environment was set up along with a virtual machine for our application systems. Additionally, a structured backup concept was implemented. A particular focus was on security: the setup of a VPN tunnel and the clean implementation of encryption and access concepts were professionally executed. The structured consulting as well as the reliable and swift implementation deserve special mention. We are very satisfied with the services provided and are happy to recommend WZ-IT.

We have had very good experiences with Mr. Wevelsiep and WZ-IT. The consultation was professional, clearly understandable, and at fair prices. The team not only implemented our requirements but also thought along and proactively. Instead of just processing individual tasks, they provided us with well-founded explanations that strengthened our own understanding. WZ-IT took a lot of pressure off us with their structured approach - that was exactly what we needed and is the reason why we keep coming back. (translated)

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.
