Arnsberg Neheim Sauerland

Connect production sites and distributed measurement points.

For businesses in Arnsberg and Neheim-Huesten, consumption readings and equipment status are possible starting points for IoT. Distributed measurement points add a terrain challenge: a hilltop gateway does not automatically reach every site in a valley. We review mounting positions, radio paths and meter interfaces before selecting sensors and a platform. Site work and ongoing operations are coordinated from Werl.

For the first discussion: equipment or meter lists, interfaces, measurement point locations and elevation differences, plus available gateway sites.

Meter and equipment data in Grafana

Your contact in Werl

Timo Wevelsiep is your contact. Site assessments and installation visits are agreed with you.

Assess radio paths

Terrain, elevation differences and gateway locations are considered in network planning.

Industry Focus

Lighting, paper, metal - we understand your industry.

Technology for City and Countryside.

Terrain & Forest Connectivity

Assess measurement points, elevation differences and gateway connectivity. The solution follows the actual site conditions.

Industry Retrofit

Collect status data from existing equipment and connect it with your maintenance workflow. Mounting and interfaces are assessed first.

Smart City & Lighting

Integrate meters, environmental sensors or approved controller interfaces into a shared view.

Solutions for Arnsberg Companies.

Possible project scenarios, not completed customer projects. Scope is assessed for your site.

Neheim & Hüsten

Smart Lighting

Leveraging the city's DNA.

Evaluate status and consumption data from suitable lighting controllers. Compatibility and approvals are assessed with the operator and electrical contractor.

Controller interfaces, dashboard.

Paper & Metal Industry

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

Ruhr & Arnsberg Forest

Environmental Monitoring

Select measurement points by access and radio path.

Record soil moisture, temperature or water levels for observation. Site permissions, maintenance and coverage are assessed first. This does not replace an official warning system.

Environmental sensors, gateway, dashboard.

Select connectivity and devices for your site.

Ridges, valleys and buildings can obstruct radio paths. We design links around specific measurement points and assess them on site. Where LoRaWAN does not fit, additional gateways, cellular connectivity or wired interfaces are evaluated.

ChirpStack, ThingsBoard or Grafana are selected to fit the project. Data export, access rights, backups and updates are defined in the operating plan; protection ratings and battery life depend on the selected device.

LoRaWAN
Radio planning, gateway selection and sensor integration for your site.
MQTT and APIs
Send measurements to existing applications and databases.
Dashboards
Status, trends and alerts matched to your workflows.
Operations
Monitoring, updates and backups with agreed responsibilities.

On Site in HSK.

From our base in Werl, we arrange site visits across this service area. The listed places are service areas, not additional offices.

Neheim & Hüsten (Industrial Areas)
Arnsberg (Old Town & Government)
Sundern & Meschede
Möhnesee & Ense

Radio assessment, installation and subsequent maintenance are agreed according to location and project scope.

Frequently Asked Questions from Arnsberg

Direct answers for city and countryside

Usable range depends on terrain, vegetation, buildings and antenna positions. We assess the actual radio paths and connectivity at gateway locations. A fixed distance claim cannot replace a site assessment.
Yes. Arnsberg is the City of Lights, and we support this reputation. We retrofit existing LED heads with Zhaga or NEMA controllers that communicate wirelessly. This turns a 'dumb' lamp into an intelligent node.
We select sensors for the specific installation environment. Besides ingress protection, relevant factors include temperature, moisture, cleaning agents, dust and any chemical exposure. Suitability is checked against the manufacturer's documentation for the specific model.
The IoT infrastructure offered here is not a commitment to deliver a wildfire warning system. Such a project requires suitable detection, an agreed alert design and involvement of the responsible authorities. General environmental measurements are a separate use case.
Measurements can support your energy management. We agree reporting intervals, missing-data handling, retention and export with those responsible for your audit. Installing sensors alone does not establish compliance with a standard or guarantee savings.
We plan device access, key management and protection of the connections between gateway, platform and application. Network separation, hosting and access rights are agreed with your IT team and documented in the operating plan.
The proposal separates hardware, site assessment, installation, software integration and ongoing operations. Reliable pricing requires measurement points, reporting intervals, interfaces and support requirements. A small pilot can clarify the effort needed for a later rollout.
Yes. Via merkaio dev, we develop apps that make IoT data visible to citizens. Example: An app showing how full the parking lots in Old Arnsberg are or the current water quality at the Ruhr.
We primarily use Milesight - a Taiwanese manufacturer with excellent quality and a broad portfolio (sensors, gateways, controllers). Milesight is our standard for professional deployments. However, our infrastructure is hardware-agnostic: as long as devices speak open standards like LoRaWAN, MQTT, or HTTP, we can integrate them. This protects you from vendor lock-in.
