General
The sensors have a service life that is primarily determined by the battery. Battery life is determined by a number of factors:
The range of the sensor to a gateway determines how long a message takes to travel.
However, the expected service life is up to 20 years.
No, the sensors have a battery and are self-powered.
Our sensors have an RFID chip, and you can read them remotely using a handheld RFID reader. The reader displays the sensor number and the signal strength. As you move, the signal gets stronger or weaker, allowing you to narrow down the search area step by step—until you know exactly where the sensor is located. It’s like a metal detector, but used on a flat roof to locate sensors.
No, the Gateway has a SIM card and connects to the internet completely securely. There is no need to connect to an on-site network; the two remain strictly separate.
Safety
Safety takes on various forms in our context, as broken down below:
Sensors:The electronics we use in our sensors have been extensively tested and are CE-certified. In addition, we comply with all applicable laws and regulations, and our sensors are ready for over-the-air firmware updates.
Architecture:Our software 's application and data are hosted on Microsoft Azure in Paris and have undergone SOC 2 certification.
Thesensor housings are made of a fire-resistant material.
Yes, the sensors we’re currently shipping support over-the-air firmware updates, and we’re already in compliance with European laws and regulations!
Yes, the technology we use has been thoroughly tested, and the electronics used in our sensors have been thoroughly tested and bear the CE mark.
No, but our software has SOC 2 certification. According to many experts, it’s actually even better than ISO 27001.
The technology we use has been thoroughly tested, and the electronics used in our sensors have been thoroughly tested and are CE-certified.
In addition, we use a fire-retardant material for our sensor housing.
Software
Yes! All features are available in an app for all mobile devices.
No, our software runs in the cloud and can be accessed via a browser or app.
Our software offers extensive technical capabilities for exchanging data with other systems, such as building management systems. In addition, it is possible to extract data from our software using APIs.
There are two types of software architectures: multi-tenant and single-tenant.
In a multi-tenant environment, there is a single software instance that serves multiple tenants (customers). Logically, the customers and their data are separated from one another, but physically, it is a single system and a single data source.
We also offer a single-tenant solution to our clients, which allows them to physically separate everything from other tenants.
Before installing sensors in the roof, we conduct a quality check. After installing the sensors in the roof—preferably in conjunction with a roofing contractor—we monitor the sensors’ performance for a while.
We check the range, the measured values, and the differences. We then switch to a system of alerts based on thresholds. If we detect any deviations, we notify the client or supply chain partner.
WithLoRa, all kinds of devicescanconnect to the internet without needing to use 3G or Wi-Fi. Battery consumption is low, the range is long, and the bandwidth is limited.
Because we're partnering with The Things Network on LoRa, it's stable, secure, and robust.
The software offers a wide range of visualization options, such as technical drawings, dashboards, and charts; map and folder views; and in-depth analyses with distribution charts.
