Measurements from warehouses, yards and existing machines.

merkaio is based in Werl. For businesses in KonWerl, Maifeld and the surrounding area, we design IoT systems for temperature, door status and energy consumption. A useful starting point is a defined warehouse zone with a few measurement points: we assess coverage and mounting positions, connect readings to a dashboard and define alert routes. For warehouse management integration, we first review the available interfaces.

For the first discussion: a warehouse plan, required measurements, existing meters or machines and your warehouse management system.

Warehouse temperature monitoring

Your contact in Werl

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

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)

We plan measurement points, gateway locations and coverage assessment for your warehouse. Rack occupancy, mounting height and connectivity are considered in the pilot.

Machine Data (Retrofit)

Connect legacy equipment through approved interfaces or additional sensors. Analysis and alert rules are agreed with your maintenance team.

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.

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

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 possible pilot connects selected meter interfaces to Grafana. Reporting intervals, data quality and comparison periods are agreed with your energy management team.

Clamp-on current transformers, Grafana dashboards.

Outdoor Storage

Outdoor storage status

Security for outdoor storage.

Contact sensors can report gate states. Transmission and response procedures are tested. This does not constitute a certified intrusion alarm system.

Self-sufficient wireless motion detectors, fence sensors.

Select connectivity and devices for your site.

In high-bay warehouses, rack occupancy, metal surfaces and mounting height affect radio coverage. We assess the planned measurement points on site before selecting gateway positions and coverage margins. LoRaWAN suits small measurement payloads; other data rates may require different connectivity.

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.

Quickly On Site.

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

Business Park KonWerl
Industrial Estate Maifeld & Runthe
Werl Center & Büderich
A44/A445 (Wickede, Ense)

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

Frequently Asked Questions from Werl

Direct answers to typical questions from the region

We assess this at the planned measurement points. Metal, masonry, warehouse occupancy and antenna positions affect reception. An on-site survey establishes suitable gateway positions and whether additional infrastructure is required.
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.
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.
Battery-powered sensors can serve measurement points without mains power. Battery life depends on the device, reporting interval, radio conditions and temperature. Gateways require a fixed supply or a suitably designed off-grid solution.
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 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.
