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 Werl, we manage IoT projects across the entire Soest district and neighboring municipalities.
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 cover the complete IoT lifecycle: analysis, conception, platform design, hardware selection, on-site LoRaWAN network deployment, platform development (web apps, mobile apps, dashboards), and managed operations. Even smaller businesses get a fully professional setup without needing in-house IoT expertise.
We start with a no-obligation consultation to understand your business and goals. From there, we design the system architecture, select appropriate hardware, analyze radio coverage at your premises, install gateways, develop the platform and any custom applications, and take the system live. After launch, we handle all operations and monitoring.
Of course. We provide standalone consulting on IoT feasibility, architecture options, platform selection, and hardware evaluation. This is a common starting point for smaller manufacturers and local businesses in Werl who want to explore digitalization step by step.
We primarily work with Milesight gateways and sensors – they are CE-certified, cost-effective, and reliable for commercial environments. For connecting existing machinery, we also integrate sensors via MQTT, HTTP, Modbus, or OPC-UA interfaces.
Yes. We conduct a radio coverage analysis before any deployment, accounting for building materials, workshop layouts, and potential interference. Gateway placement is optimized for your specific site so that every sensor communicates reliably.
Yes. We pre-stage all sensors and gateways with the correct firmware, network parameters, and payload decoders before shipping. Once installed at your Werl location, they register on the platform automatically.
Yes. Beyond standard Grafana and ThingsBoard dashboards, we build custom web apps and mobile apps tailored to your workflows – for example, a machine status overview for the shop floor, a warehouse monitoring app, or a management reporting portal.
We use ChirpStack as LoRaWAN network server, ThingsBoard (Community and Professional Edition) for device management, Grafana for data visualization, and Node-RED for automation. Custom applications are built with React, Next.js, and React Native.
Yes. We build integrations with ERP systems, inventory management tools, and other business software using REST APIs, MQTT, and webhooks. This lets sensor data flow directly into the systems your team already works with.
On GDPR-compliant servers in German data centers. For businesses that prefer to keep everything on their own premises, we also offer full on-premise installation in your Werl server room.
We offer multiple SLA tiers with availability up to 99.9%. Even for smaller deployments, you benefit from redundant infrastructure, automatic failover, and around-the-clock monitoring.
Yes. We install and harden the complete IoT stack on your local infrastructure in Werl. Remote maintenance is performed via secured VPN, with the same proactive monitoring we provide for cloud-hosted instances.
A standard setup is typically production-ready within a few days. Smaller projects with pre-configured sensors can be up and running particularly fast. For more complex deployments, we plan the timeline together.
No. All managed hosting and operations services are cancellable monthly. We want to earn your business through quality rather than binding you with long-term contracts.
The platform scales with you. We design multi-tenant setups that let you add new sites in Werl or other locations over time – each with its own dashboards, user permissions, and alerting rules, all managed centrally.
