IoT for the Logistics Hub.Solutions for Unna & Region.

Connecting industrial and logistics sites in the Unna district. Robust sensor technology for distribution centers and yard management. Your technical partner directly on site.

Unna Indu-Park Logistik

Where Goods and Data Flow.

Unna is the engine of Westphalian logistics. From Indu-Park to Königsborn: Extensive distribution centers where WiFi doesn't reach parking spot 300. We deliver infrastructure that scales.

Locally Rooted

From the region, for the region. Fast response times.

Yard Management

Truck tracking, dock status, swap body location.

Industry Retrofit

Monitor existing machines. Predict failures.

Focus on Logistics & Production.

Yard Management (Smart Logistics)

Track truck parking spots, locate swap bodies, real-time dock occupancy. Data for your dispatch system instead of paperwork.

Industry Monitoring (Retrofit)

Vibration, temperature, power consumption on existing machines. Predict failures before they happen. Without touching the controls.

Process Software (Dev)

IoT data belongs in your ERP and dispatch software. We build the bridges: APIs, webhooks, custom dashboards.

Use Cases in the Unna District.

From warehouse to corporate headquarters.

Logistics Parks

Smart Yard & Asset Tracking

Logistics parks in the Unna district have hundreds of parking spots. We create transparency.

Trailer tracking on the yard, real-time dock occupancy, and automatic timestamps for dispatch.

Ground sensors, GPS trackers, LoRaWAN network

Production Sites

Condition Monitoring

Production facilities in Königsborn and surroundings: Monitor motors, pumps, conveyor belts.

Vibration sensors on critical drives, clamp-on current transformers without intervention, and alerts before failure.

Vibration sensors, current transformers, IoT platform

Corporate HQ

Energy Management & ESG

Corporate headquarters need ISO 50001 and ESG data. We deliver.

Remote reading of all meters (electricity, gas, water), real-time dashboards for controlling, and automated reports for audits.

LoRaWAN meter modules, Grafana dashboards

Technology That Scales.

Logistics parks like Indu-Park are characterized by large distances and lots of steel construction. These are 'natural enemies' of WiFi and LTE. LoRaWAN is the superior technology here.

One gateway on your warehouse roof often covers the entire site and adjacent outdoor storage. It's cost-effective, low-maintenance, and extremely secure.

Frequently Asked Questions from Unna.

Answers for logistics managers and production heads.

Yes. LoRaWAN (868 MHz) penetrates steel and concrete better than GPS or cellular. In steel halls, we position the gateways so that we have stable reception even in critical areas. GPS doesn't work indoors - LoRaWAN does.
Absolutely. We don't want data silos. Our platform offers open interfaces (REST API, webhooks, MQTT) to pass sensor values directly to your TMS or WMS. Dispatch sees in real-time which trailer is where.
Our sensors are battery-powered and last 5-10 years. For gateways at remote locations, we use solar panels with buffer batteries. This way we reach even the last parking spot at the edge of the site.
Yes. We can set up geofencing: If a trailer or container leaves the defined area, an alarm is triggered immediately. Additionally, we can install door contact sensors that report when a container is opened without authorization.
Definitely. That's one of the most common use cases. We digitize your meters so you get complete load profiles. This saves manual reading and fully meets auditor requirements.
Yes. We use end-to-end encryption (AES-128). Data doesn't leave your territory unencrypted. We build a private network that's physically separated from your office WiFi. Data hosting on German servers.
Yard management often pays off fastest: Less search time, faster processing, less demurrage. Customers report ROI times under 12 months. Energy monitoring typically saves 5-15% on energy costs.
Yes. Via merkaio dev, we build mobile apps (iOS/Android) tailored exactly to your processes. For example, an app that shows drivers which dock to go to - in real-time based on sensor data.
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.
