Hardware and measurement
Sensors, meters, gateways and edge devices selected for the measurement you need
What we measure in plants
Measurement is the first step. We match it to the business goal, not the other way around.
Utilities and energy
- electricity
- gas
- water
- process and district heat
- compressed air
- technical gases, nitrogen for example
Process parameters
- liquid and gas flow
- levels of liquids, raw materials and bulk solids
- position, state, speed
- machine and line operation from PLC signals
Working environment
- temperature and humidity
- CO₂, dust, volatile compounds, hazardous gases
- machine vibration
- workplace conditions for health and safety
We also connect to metering you already have.
Meters, analyzers and systems already in the plant become data sources for the platform—no replacement needed.
Sensors and measurement devices
Device types we deploy, with an example of what we have used. The specific model is picked per installation—for the measurement, the conditions and the budget.
- Energy meter—e.g. Phoenix Contact EEM-EM325
- Ultrasonic water meter—e.g. M-Bus or LoRa models
- Vibration sensor—e.g. Advantech WISE-2410
- Radar level sensor—e.g. Milesight, LoRaWAN
- Temperature and humidity sensor—e.g. LoRaWAN models
- Air quality sensor—e.g. Advantech LEO-S592-AQ
- Inductive proximity sensor—various, IO-Link or discrete
- Fill-level sensor—e.g. Milesight WS201
Manufacturers we work with:
Edge devices and communication
Gateways, routers and modules that connect the shop floor to the platform, rated for industrial conditions.
- Outdoor LoRaWAN gateway—e.g. Advantech WISE-6610P
- Analog and pulse I/O module—e.g. Advantech ADAM-6018+
- IO-Link master, wired—various
- IO-Link master, wireless—various
- Wireless I/O module—4G / LTE / Wi-Fi / LoRa
- Edge device—e.g. Advantech industrial edge
Protocols:
- Outdoor LoRaWAN gateway—e.g. Advantech WISE-6610P

How to start
1
Measurement audit
Scope. What you need to know, what is already metered, and what has to be added. Conditions on site—temperature, dust, vibration, cabling, network coverage.
Result. A device list with costing, a communication plan, and the scope of the first installation.
2
Installation on a limited area
Scope. One department, one line, or plant utilities. Sensors and meters installed or connected, a gateway, data acquisition, first data in the platform.
Result. Verified data quality and a measurement layer the rest can be built on.
3
Scaling
Scope. Further areas on the communication layer already in place.
Result. New measurement points added by configuration, not by another integration project.
Start with an audit or a pilot
Workshop and audit
Find out what your data is worth before you spend anything on collecting it.
Pilot or PoC
One line, your machines, your numbers. If they don’t work, you stop there.
