General
The sensors have a service life that is mainly determined by the battery. The battery life is determined by a number of factors:
The range of the sensor to a gateway, which determines how long a message is in transit.
The expected lifespan is up to 20 years.
No, the sensors have a battery and are self-sufficient.
Our sensors have an RFID chip, and you can read them remotely using a handheld RFID reader. The reader displays a sensor number and signal strength. Moving around makes the signal 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 on a flat roof, searching for sensors.
No, the Gateway has a SIM card and connects to the internet in a completely secure manner. There is no need for a connection to a local network, which remains strictly separate.
Safety
Safety has a number of facets in our context, broken down as follows:
Sensors:the electronics we use in our sensors have been extensively tested and are CE certified. In addition, we comply with laws and regulations, and our sensors are ready for Firmware Updates – Over The Air.
Architecture:Our software application and data run on Microsoft Azure in Paris and have undergone SOC2 certification.
Thesensor housings are made of fire-resistant material.
Yes, the sensors we currently supply have Firmware Updates – Over The Air, and we already comply with European laws and regulations!
Yes, the technology we use is extensively tested, and the electronics we use in our sensors are extensively tested and CE marked.
No, but our software has SOC2 certification. According to many experts, this is actually even better than ISO27001.
The technology we use is extensively tested, and the electronics we use in our sensors are extensively tested and have CE certification.
In addition, we use a fire-retardant material for our sensor housing.
Software
Yes! All functionality is 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 data exchange with other systems, such as building management systems. In addition, APIs can be used to extract data from our software.
We recognize two types of software architectures: multi-tenant and single-tenant.
In the case of multi-tenant, there is a single software instance that serves multiple tenants (customers). Logic separates the customers and their data from each other, but physically it is a single system and a single data source.
We also offer single tenant as a solution to our clients/customers, allowing them to physically separate everything from other tenants.
Before installing sensors in the roof, we carry out a quality check. After installing sensors in the roof, preferably together with a roof section, we monitor the behavior of the sensors for a while.
We check the range, the measurements, and the differences. We then switch to a system of threshold alerts. If we detect any deviations, we inform the client or chain partner.
WithLoRa, all kinds of thingscancommunicate with the internet without having to use 3G or Wi-Fi. Battery consumption is low, range is long, and bandwidth is limited.
Because we do LoRa together with The Things Network, it is stable, secure, and robust.
The software offers a wide range of visualization options, such as technical drawings, dashboards and graphs, map and folder displays, and in-depth analyses with distribution graphs.
