Logistics Hub Meets University Town.

Hamm is a logistics hotspot: Distribution centers of major retailers line up along the A2 and A1. At the same time, Hamm is a chemical industry location with high safety requirements (ATEX/IECEx). And with Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences, the city is an innovation driver. merkaio delivers IoT infrastructure for all three worlds: robust sensors in huge halls, explosion-proof measurement technology in the process industry and smart campus solutions.

On Site

We're in the region and quickly at your location - whether distribution center, chemical park or campus.

Logistics Know-How

We understand the requirements of large warehouse halls and goods flows.

ATEX Experience

We know the requirements of explosion-protected zones and the appropriate sensors.

Our Services for Hamm.

Smart Warehouse & Tracking

We connect your logistics areas. Asset tracking of pallets and forklifts, temperature monitoring in cold storage, fill level measurement in silos - without expensive cabling in halls of 100,000+ m².

Sensors for Ex Zones

In the chemical and process industry, strict regulations apply (ATEX, IECEx). We integrate certified sensors for gas detection, tank levels and environmental monitoring into your control system.

Campus & Building Automation

For Hamm-Lippstadt University or municipal buildings: Room occupancy detection, climate monitoring and parking guidance systems. We deliver the data for efficient space utilization.

Solutions for the Hamm Location.

How we can support local key industries:

Distribution Centers A2

Smart Logistics

In logistics, every minute counts.

We make goods flows in your halls transparent. Real-time tracking of load carriers, temperature monitoring for pharma and food logistics and integration into your WMS (Warehouse Management System). LoRaWAN works even where WiFi fails.

Asset trackers, temperature sensors.

Chemical Park / Industrial Area

Process Industry & Safety

Safety is non-negotiable.

Real-time gas leak detection, tank measurements without manual rounds and emissions monitoring. Our ATEX-compliant solutions immediately report critical conditions to your control room.

ATEX gas sensors, ultrasonic fill level sensors.

Hamm-Lippstadt University

Smart Campus

Use space efficiently.

Anonymous room occupancy detection in lecture halls and libraries, CO2-controlled ventilation and intelligent parking guidance systems. We deliver the data for data-driven decisions in facility management.

People counters, CO2 sensors.

Technology for Large-Scale Facilities.

The distribution centers along the A2 are huge - often over 100,000 m². WiFi fails here due to the sheer size and steel shelving. LoRaWAN solves this problem: A signal penetrates steel-reinforced concrete and bridges the distance of an entire logistics park.

For the process industry, we rely on ATEX-certified hardware. Our gateways and sensors are built for continuous operation under harsh conditions. And since we use open-source software, your data always belongs to you.

Frequently Asked Questions from Hamm

Direct answers to typical questions from the region

Yes, especially there. The halls of major logistics companies are often so large that WiFi is no longer sufficient or becomes too expensive. LoRaWAN at 868 MHz penetrates steel shelving and concrete walls without problems. With just a few gateways, we can cover areas of 100,000 m² and more.
Yes, that's the standard case. Via merkaio dev, we build the interfaces (API, webhooks, MQTT) to your system. Whether SAP EWM, Microsoft Dynamics or an industry solution - the data arrives where your dispatchers need it.
Yes. We know that only certified hardware may be used in Ex zones (Zone 0, 1, 2). We work with partners who supply ATEX/IECEx-compliant LoRaWAN sensors for gas detection, pressure and temperature. We handle the integration into your control system.
Almost in real-time. LoRaWAN sensors immediately send an alarm uplink when a threshold is exceeded. The data reaches your control room or the security officer's phone within seconds.
We're open to research and development projects. If you have an IoT topic that fits our stack, please contact us. The combination of practical knowledge and academic research can be valuable for both sides.
Yes. From water level monitoring on the Lippe to parking guidance systems to smart city projects - we also build and operate IoT infrastructure for public clients. GDPR-compliant and transparent.
Of course. Before project start, we conduct a 'Site Survey'. We measure signal strength in your halls or on the premises to determine optimal gateway positioning.
For a 'Proof of Concept' (PoC), we often only need 2-3 weeks. We use standardized hardware and pre-configured software modules. A productive rollout then depends on the size and complexity of your project.
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.
