IoT for Arnsberg & the Sauerland.Between Ruhr and Forest.
We connect the industrial and nature region of Arnsberg. From the 'City of Lights' to the valleys of the Sauerland. Robust wireless infrastructure for production, forestry and Smart City.
Tradition Meets Technology.
Arnsberg unites contrasts: The industrial power of Neheim-Hüsten, the administrative strength of Old Arnsberg and the dense forests of the Sauerland. Whether lighting industry, paper processing or metal - the region is productive. But the topography of the Sauerland is a challenge for digitalization. Mobile dead spots and hilly terrain make connectivity difficult. We build LoRaWAN networks that bridge valleys and penetrate deep into production halls.

On Site in HSK
We know the region and are quickly at your location.
Terrain Experts
We use the topography to your advantage.
Industry Focus
Lighting, paper, metal - we understand your industry.
Technology for City and Countryside.
Terrain & Forest Connectivity
Where LTE ends, we begin. We build wireless networks that monitor forest areas, water levels or remote outdoor storage. Autonomous and weatherproof.
Industry Retrofit
Arnsberg's SMEs have machines that need to run. We retrofit systems with sensors (vibration, power, temperature) to prevent failures.
Smart City & Lighting
As partners for municipalities and the lighting industry, we integrate intelligent controls. Light on demand, not by timer.
Solutions for Arnsberg Companies.
Focus: Lighting, Energy & Environment.
Smart Lighting
Leveraging the city's DNA.
Intelligent street lighting or factory lighting. LoRaWAN controllers in the lamp heads (e.g. with Milesight UC series). Dimming by time or motion, automatic defect reporting. Massive energy savings and lower maintenance costs.
Zhaga/NEMA controllers, LoRaWAN
Energy & Water Monitoring
Resource efficiency for large consumers.
Paper and metal processing require enormous amounts of energy and water. High-resolution monitoring of flow rates and power load peaks. Visualization in Grafana to immediately detect leaks or smooth load peaks for grid fee management.
Flow sensors, current transformers, Grafana
Environmental Monitoring
Protection against natural hazards.
Flood early warning on the Ruhr or wildfire early detection in the forests. Solar-powered gateways on elevations receive data from level sensors and smoke detectors in the forest. Real-time alerting of emergency services at critical values.
Level sensors, smoke detectors, solar gateways
Radio That Crosses Mountains.
In the Sauerland, range is decisive. Standard solutions often fail on the hills and valleys. We use the topography to your advantage.
A strategically placed LoRaWAN gateway on an elevation (e.g. at Arnsberg Forest) can illuminate huge areas in the valley. This way we connect locations that were previously considered 'dead zones'.
