IoT Infrastructure for Werl.From KonWerl to the A44.

We connect the logistics hub on the Hellweg. Robust sensors for extensive halls, production facilities in the business park and SMEs. Your technical partner right on site.

Werl KonWerl Gewerbegebiet

High-Tech on Historic Ground.

Werl has successfully completed the transformation. Where barracks once stood (KonWerl), business now thrives. Logistics giants and specialized manufacturers use the perfect location between the Ruhr region and Sauerland. But large halls and extensive premises pose problems for IT: WiFi doesn't reach gate 42. merkaio delivers the solution. We build the digital infrastructure that Werl companies need. Radio networks that penetrate reinforced concrete and software that accelerates your processes.

On Site

We're from the region and quickly at your location in KonWerl or Maifeld.

Hall Expertise

We understand the challenges of large logistics and production halls.

Retrofit Focus

We upgrade existing machines and buildings with modern sensors.

Technology for the Business Park.

Hall Connectivity (Deep Indoor)

In modern logistics parks at Maifeld or KonWerl, WiFi often fails at the shelf rows. We use LoRaWAN to radio-illuminate every square meter of your hall - without expensive cable routes.

Machine Data (Retrofit)

Werl's SMEs produce at a high level. We retrofit your existing machines with sensors to avoid downtime and optimize maintenance intervals.

Process Integration (Dev)

A sensor value alone is useless. merkaio dev ensures that data (e.g., 'ramp occupied') arrives directly in your warehouse management system or ERP.

Solutions for Werl Companies.

Focus: KonWerl, Logistics, Energy.

KonWerl & Maifeld

Smart Warehousing

Transparency on huge areas.

Monitoring of room climate (moisture protection) and gates in large distribution centers. Sensors report when roller doors are open too long (energy loss) or temperature in storage zones reaches critical values. Reduce energy costs and protect goods from moisture.

Temperature/humidity sensors, door sensors.

Production

Energy Management (ISO 50001)

Find energy guzzlers in production.

A metal processor in Werl must prove their energy consumption for the audit. Retrofit of electricity meters on main machines using 'clamp-on' converters. Automatic load profile analysis in Grafana. You immediately see which shift consumes how much energy.

Clamp-on current transformers, Grafana dashboards.

Outdoor Storage

Site Security & Perimeter Protection

Security for outdoor storage.

Theft protection on extensive business premises (e.g., building materials trade or freight forwarding). Self-sufficient motion detectors and fence sensors connected via radio. Immediate alarm to the security guard's phone when something moves at night - without expensive video surveillance at every corner.

Self-sufficient wireless motion detectors, fence sensors.

Why LoRaWAN for Werl?

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

A gateway on the roof of your hall often covers the entire business premises and adjacent outdoor storage. It's cost-effective, low-maintenance and extremely secure.

Frequently Asked Questions from Werl

Direct answers to typical questions from the region

Yes. Metal shelving shields conventional radio, but LoRaWAN (868 MHz) has very high penetration. We position the gateways so that we have stable reception even in the aisles between the shelves.
Absolutely. We don't want data silos. Our platform offers open interfaces (REST API, MQTT) to pass sensor values (e.g., temperature, door status) directly to your WMS (Warehouse Management System).
Yes. Since we come from the immediate area, we're happy to conduct a site survey (coverage measurement) at your location. We check on site how many gateways are needed to cover your halls and outdoor areas.
Definitely. That's one of the most common reasons for IoT in production. We digitize your meters so you get complete load profiles. This saves manual reading and meets auditor requirements.
No. Our sensors are battery-powered and last 5 to 10 years depending on settings. You can use them to monitor fences, gates or silos at the other end of the premises without pulling a single cable.
Yes. We use end-to-end encryption (AES-128). Data doesn't leave your territory unencrypted. Additionally, we build a private network that's physically separated from your office WiFi.
We're fans of 'start small, scale fast'. You can start with one gateway and 5 sensors (e.g., for temperature monitoring) to test the technology. The investment is manageable and often pays for itself quickly through energy savings.
Yes. Via merkaio dev, we build mobile apps tailored exactly to your processes. For example, an app that shows truck drivers which gate to drive to, based on the sensor data from the ramps.
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.
