Northern Kenya Pioneers Africa’s Largest Landscape-Wide Iot Conservation Network

Northern Kenya Pioneers Africa’s Largest Landscape-Wide IoT Conservation Network

Press Release – Paris, France – May 29^th 2023

Northern Rangelands Trust (NRT) and Connected Conservation are safeguarding Kenya’s most vulnerable species and natural resources with Africa’s largest landscape-wide IoT (Internet of Things) conservation network.

The project is evolving wildlife and natural resource conservation by leveraging LoRaWAN IoT sensors and networks to collect, monitor and analyze real-time environmental data on a captivating scale. This data is coupled with analytics and conservation tools to help safeguard wildlife populations, promote peace, and empower community-led conservation.

NRT’s IoT conservation network was the first of its kind in Kenya and has been made possible by Connected Conservation Foundation (CCF), bringing together a coalition of private and public sector partners including NRT, Cisco, Actility, 51 Degrees with EarthRanger (AI2).

LoRaWAN IoT technology has emerged as a game-changing solution for natural reserves that require robust signal coverage over vast and hostile environments, which often have zero connectivity.

This now widely used conservation technology, allows battery-powered sensors to communicate via a long-range, ultra-low data rate connection, resulting in longer battery life. Additionally LoRa sensors are a fraction of the cost compared to satellite-enabled solutions – transforming the way conservation programs operate.

The IoT network currently covers 22 of NRT’s community-led conservancies and four private reserves, (Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, Ol Jogi, Loisaba and Borana) with plans to bring more on board to increase coverage across the region. Over 190 new sensors have been deployed to all parks, with a further 250 scheduled.

“This IoT network is a game-changer for conservation efforts in Northern Kenya. We can now monitor our conservancies on a scale that was never possible. It is empowering our community-led conservancies to share, make decisions and collaborate in their conservation efforts.”

says NRT’s CEO, Tom Lalampaa.

“This cross-conservancy, IOT conservation network is changing the way private and community-led conservancies work together. Shared real-time information for large connected landscapes is helping secure threatened species, manage essential ecosystem services and benefit local communities.”

says Sophie Maxwell, Executive Director of Connected Conservation Foundation.

Improving peace and security

Data from the ranger, vehicle and wildlife sensors are helping rangers monitor and respond to threats to prevent poaching, share information on vulnerabilities, bolster conservation management strategies and promote peace and security between ethnic communities.

Rhino recovery

Now Kenya is one of the few places in the world where black rhino populations are on the rise. But with this success comes an urgency to establish safe and connected rangelands for these critically endangered species to roam. This project has enabled innovative ways to monitor the rhino population and has helped bring the removal of fences between conservancies, creating larger, connected habitats for rhinos.

“Our ongoing work with CCF, and other partners to deliver the largest landscape-wide IoT conservation network is part of Cisco’s Partnering for Purpose initiative. This network demonstrates the power of innovative technologies to support conservation efforts. Together, we are driving positive impact – creating safe havens for animals and empowering local communities.”

said Chris Panzeca, Senior Director, Global Strategic Partner Sales at Cisco.

Managing and verifying natural resources

2022 saw extreme drought in East Africa, sweeping away grasslands, water, local food and animals. NRT has huge challenges to sustainably manage its natural resources and to pre-empt and reduce both human and wildlife conflicts.

The IoT network supports the plugin of livestock and environmental sensors to monitor foraging conditions, track livestock movements, and observe water levels that threaten the successful co-existence of wildlife and local people.

Additionally, this natural resource tracking data will help validate the effectiveness of NRT’s protected areas and help unlock new revenue streams by verifying community rangeland management for carbon projects.

Combined, this massive IoT undertaking will contribute vital digital infrastructure, to help Kenyan partners measure and achieve the Global Biodiversity Targets set out at COP15 – to protect 30% of the planet for nature by 2030.

For this project, the comprehensive LoRaWAN network management is done using Actility’s ThingPark platform to efficiently manage gateways, integrate sensors, monitor network operations and regulate the flow of data to application servers.

“Few individuals readily connect wildlife conservation and IoT; however, the pairing is indeed a perfect match. Wildlife protection is an ideal use case for LPWAN IoT, given the vast territories to monitor, the necessity for long-lasting, low-cost sensors and the requirement for secure technology to combat poaching. We are delighted and proud to witness LoRaWAN and ThingPark playing a pivotal role in supporting this remarkable preservation endeavor.”

says Olivier Hersent, CEO at Actility.

Impacts

NRT reports[1] the provision of real-time data, digital radio communications and cross-conservancy network collaboration, has helped accomplish a reduction in poaching and human-wildlife conflict. This has helped boost Black rhino numbers by 10% in Kenya.

NRT empowers 43 indigenous communities in Northern Kenya to manage their conservancies and maximize nature-based economies. Fair and transparent access to connectivity and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors is providing both private and local community-led conservancies with a boost in knowledge to prevent poaching, pre-empt human-wildlife conflict and halt habitat loss.

Samuel Lekimaroro, NRT’s Director of Wildlife Protection said, “These technologies are helping us achieve our goal of securing wildlife populations and bringing peace to the region.”

Actility and UnaBiz Integrate LoRaWAN® and Sigfox 0G technology to Unify the LPWAN World

Press Release – Singapore & Paris, France – April 18th 2023

Actility, the leading provider of unlicensed multi-radio LPWAN infrastructure, and UnaBiz, global Massive IoT service provider and integrator have announced a strategic collaboration to integrate their respective platforms and ecosystems. The joint effort aims to bring the power of LoRaWAN® and Sigfox 0G technology together in a simple and unified manner, enabling customers to meet their diverse networking requirements and accelerate their IoT projects.

Actility, the co-inventor of LoRaWAN® and founding member of LoRa Alliance® serves LoRaWAN and cellular-based public and private LPWAN networks with its ThingPark® platform, and low-power geolocation use cases with its Abeeway trackers. UnaBiz, the new owner of Sigfox 0G technology specialises in sensor product design, manufacturing, and data platform services across a hybrid of network communication technologies to power sustainable business growth. In order to better serve customers that require a range of LPWAN connectivity solutions, UnaBiz and Actility have integrated their platforms at two different levels .

A specific ThingPark X connector is used in the first type of integration to link networks powered by ThingPark to UnaConnect, UnaBiz’s tech-agnostic data management platform. Users of UnaConnect may now access data flows collected from LoRaWAN® and NB-IoT/LTE-M devices that are served by the ThingPark network deployments and global IoT SIMs thanks to this integration.

The second integration brings Sigfox data to LoRaWAN networks and applications via the ThingPark Exchange roaming hub. This helps to translate Sigfox frames to LoRaWAN® frames and vice versa. Any standard LoRaWAN network connected to ThingPark Exchange and IoT applications built for LoRaWAN® can now leverage devices powered by Sigfox 0G technology without any special adaptation.

As both integration methods are independent of one another, customers may choose to use them separately or in combination.

“It is a reality that the market uses a mix of LPWAN technologies. UnaBiz and Actility have decided to integrate both our technologies in multiple ways so that any customer may easily utilise either, or a combination of the two, instead of being forced to choose one or do a complex integration on their own. This partnership serves as a resounding affirmation of our shared goal of building Massive IoT.”

Olivier Hersent, CEO of Actility

“Actility was one of the first LoRaWAN partners to share our vision of Convergence. We are extremely pleased to take another step towards our vision of a United LPWAN World, and excited to see the integration of our technologies happen so swiftly. We will work closely with Actility to help our partners bring new solutions to the market to help our customers accelerate their adoption of multi-technology projects!”

Tunja City Implements IoT Taxi Tracking with Illumination and Abeeway

Press Release – Tunja, Colombia & Paris, France – April 4^th 2022

Tunja city, Colombia, has successfully deployed an IoT project of city taxis fleet tracking and safety, in order to provide the drivers with a mean of self-protection. The solution, initiated by Iluminacion.co, a leading Colombian provider of IoT and renewable energy solutions, is based on Abeeway tracking devices and innovative ultra-low-power LoRaWAN® connectivity for data transfer.

Finding a way to increase drivers’ safety

Tunja is a city in northeast Colombia and the capital of the Boyacá department, with roughly 170,000 inhabitants. Tunja is an important educational center of well-known universities of the country and is now on its way to becoming the first Smart City in Colombia.

The city has a fleet of roughly 1200 taxis. The drivers are independent and pay for the vehicles with their own money. Which means in case of aggression or theft of their vehicle they incur financial loss and have no protection. There is no efficient call number for police to take immediate action.

The Tunja City Administration was looking for a solution and approached Ilumination.co, which led to a first ongoing pilot project, covering the first batch of 200 taxis being tracked across the city. The city has already approved the deployment of 1000 more taxis. The project is based on Abeeway Micro Trackers that are connected to the lighter of the car for constant power supply and provide location information every 3 minutes throughout the day.

The Panic Button of the tracker plays a crucial role as it allows drivers to alert the police forces and be located very quickly. On the other hand, the police department is interested in deploying the trackers on their own vehicles fleet for real-time location and dispatch.

Unmatched network technology combined with a flexible tracking solution

The reason a LoRaWAN-based solution has convinced the city officials is its uncontestable coverage advantages over cellular networking technologies like 4G which happens to present a lot of blind spots. Conventional cellular-based GPS devices do not work everywhere, and, furthermore, their radio signal can be easily jammed, facilitating theft.

LoRaWAN® is a widely used wireless communication technology, which makes use of unlicensed radio spectrum and allows battery-powered sensors to communicate with IoT applications across a very long-range while supporting low data rates.

LoRaWAN came to be extremely handy for this city, which presents a difficult geographical environment with mountains, hills and high buildings. It’s more efficient and cheaper than cellular or satellite networks. LoRaWAN transmissions can pass through glass, metal, and concrete, allowing data to be sent not only outdoors, but also deep indoors and underground, which is a definite advantage for an anti-theft solution. Moreover, just a couple gateways enable covering huge areas and deploying IoT use cases without a significant cost and delay.

Benefiting from LoRaWAN’s characteristics, Abeeway provides long autonomy devices that allow continuous usage for months and years. The devices work both indoors and outdoors thanks to their multi-technology geolocation system, integrating standard and Abeeway’s patented Low-power GPS, WiFi sniffing, Bluetooth Low Energy Beaconing feature for precise indoor tracking.

It turned out that the GPS coverage in Tunja is excellent due to its overall altitude of over 2 800 m above sea level. The positions are received with no chance of failure, while the usage of LoRaWAN allows to avoid all disruption in communication: all location points are retrieved and allow to get the transit data in any case.

Abeeway devices combine cutting-edge location technologies, robust hardware, a meticulous selection of high-performing low-power chipsets and the no-compromise optimization of software. This allows flexible behavior, highly responsive to changing needs, and guaranteeing asset and people location in various coverage scenarios.

Building the first smart city in Colombia

The collaboration between Iluminacion.co and Abeeway and Actility was crucial for the success of this project and serves as a model for other cities seeking to improve the safety and efficiency of their transportation systems. The use of IoT and LoRaWAN technology has proven to be an effective solution for cities looking to become smart cities.

Tunja City administration is not stopping there: it has great plans for development. LoRaWAN is a new technology in the country, but the city is already planning on taking advantage of the mutualization opportunity of the LoRaWAN network: other city divisions can use the same network to install all kinds of sensors to monitor city assets and activities, like smart water metering and smart street lighting, and also tracking city buses, having better control of traffic lights in order to reduce pollution and improve operations.

Furthermore, this project also laid the foundation for Tunja to incorporate more aspects of smart city technology, such as waste management and outdoor lighting, as the platform is highly adaptable and can be used for multiple use cases in a single instance. The city plans to include other smart city initiatives, streamlining the management and monitoring of multiple systems in real-time. This means that the city can efficiently move forward with new projects and optimize resources to improve the quality of life for its citizens.

“Honored to be one of the first projects in Latin America implementing IOT to enhance security and public service. Colombia is a great country of opportunity and capability for growth within technology and this IOT implementation showcased that traditional issues can be overcome with new technology.”

Ginette Cardozo, Commercial Director at Iluminacion.co SAS

“At Actility, we are honored to have been a part of the Tunja city IoT project by providing our innovative Abeeway tracking devices using LoRaWAN® connectivity. It is heartening to know that our technology has played a significant role in increasing the safety and security of taxi drivers in Tunja. We are proud to have contributed to this project and hope that it will serve as an inspiration for other cities to adopt similar IoT solutions for their communities.”

Olivier Hersent, CEO at Actility

New IoT solution for Level Monitoring released by Pepperl + Fuchs, Akenza.io and Actility

Press Release – 20 February 2023 – Paris, France

Actility, in joint work with Pepperl + Fuchs, known around the world as a pioneer and an innovator in electrical explosion protection and sensor technology, and akenza.io a low-code IoT platform, now offer a new IoT solution for smart level monitoring and management solution.

The solution is using LoRaWAN® connectivity and includes the Pepperl + Fuchs WILSEN.sonic.level battery-operated wireless level sensor, LoRaWAN ® Network Server and Management platform from Actility – ThingPark Enterpise, and the application operated on the akenza IoT platform. It is used to remotely monitor fill levels in containers, tanks, and silos, as well as monitoring water levels of rivers, lakes, and flood basins.

This IoT Smart Level Monitoring is now available on ThingPark Market, Actility’s IoT solutions marketplace!

The most innovative ultrasonic solution to ensure industrial flexibility

The solution is used to monitor fill levels in containers, tanks, and silos remotely. In addition, river, lake, and flood basin water levels are monitored. More than just filling levels are transmitted by the sensor. GPS data from the sensor enables the tracking of assets such as containers, while other information such as temperature readings and battery charge status enable predictive maintenance capabilities.

The solution is a must-have for those who face daily challenges such as environmental and natural disaster risks, such as rivers and lakes overflowing their banks and flood basin levels, because they conduct manual observations rather than using technologically stress-free environments.

Another significant challenge that our solution may face is that waste management executives are frustrated with the non-interconnected waste management system. Managing waste management crews is a difficult task. They require a remote monitoring system to ensure that the containers are only collected once they have been filled to a predetermined level.

Where to apply the solution?

Smart Farming: Food and energy are both supplied by modern agriculture. Farmers can use the WILSEN.sonic.level to remotely monitor the fill level of distributed feed silos or the pit of a biogas plant. Using an IoT system like this relieves the farmer of inspection rounds and frees up time for important tasks in his efficient operation.

Smart Environment: The wireless sensor WILSEN.sonic.level measures river, lake, and flood basin fill levels. It transmits additional information such as temperature, geolocation, and battery status over long distances, allowing for better flood protection.

Smart Cities: Cities and municipalities are under increasing pressure to provide citizens with convenient, environmentally friendly living arrangements. The WILSEN.sonic.level enables intelligent disposal management, in which the filling levels of used glass, old clothes, and recyclables containers are remotely monitored and collected only when they reach a predetermined level.

Smart Logistics: In a globalized world, efficient supply chains must not run out of raw materials and supplies. The WILSEN.sonic.level aids in determining tank or silo fill levels. It enables the supplier to provide their customers with a supply logistics system that is tailored to their specific requirements.

What you will find in the kit:

Pepperl+Fuchs WILSEN.sonic.level UCC2500 sensor or UCC4000 sensor

The battery-powered wireless ultrasonic sensor WILSEN.sonic.level from Pepperl+Fuchs can be used for remote monitoring of all types of fill levels. The level, as well as additional parameters such as geo data and status data of the sensor, is recorded at adjustable time intervals. The data transmission is wireless via LoRaWAN. By using a mobile device (iOS/Android) and the WILSEN app belonging to the sensor, the sensor can be comprehensively parameterized.

Browan Pico NEXT LTE Gateway pre-installed and configured

This Pico gateway is appropriate for small business or private area use cases such as parking, exhibition center, or campus, among others.

French Biggest Auto Club Roole Unveils the Innovation Behind Its GPS Antitheft Tracking Solution Wetrak

French Biggest Auto Club Roole Unveils the Innovation Behind Its GPS Antitheft Tracking Solution Wetrak

Press Release – Paris, France – December 7th, 2022

Roole, a major French supplemental auto insurance company and the country’s leading car club, has taken its anti-theft service to a whole new level, offering its customers a next-generation geolocation solution coupled with a mobile app, called Wetrak, to find lost or stolen cars, thereby reducing insurance costs. The solution is based on advanced location devices provided by Abeeway, a subsidiary of Actility specializing in low-power indoor and outdoor fused geolocation.

With an estimated 50% share of the French market with over one million active policyholders, Roole is thinking big. Leveraging IoT technologies such as LoRaWAN® connectivity and Abeeway’s geolocation expertise, the company is poised to transform the market by offering an unparalleled quality of service, distributed through car dealerships in France, and offering a game-changing feature of non-sensitivity to today’s jammers, unlike ordinary cellular GPS devices.

With a successful first phase of 4,000 devices deployed, and the service becoming popular, the company is launching a massive consumer car tracking offering with over 20,000 devices as a second phase.

Outsmarting car thieves’ jamming practices thanks to IoT

Traditional GPS trackers for vehicles rely on cellular networks (GSM) to transmit their signals. They used to be the gold standard in car theft protection. But today, it has become surprisingly easy for thieves to jam or mask their signals so that the police can’t find them.

A GPS jammer is a generally small, inexpensive, self-contained transmitter device capable of sending radio signals within a short radius using various frequency bands (2G, 3G, 4G, LTE, Lojack, GPS, WiFi and BLE), rendering it unable to determine its position due to interference and transmit data using these common networks. Less savvy thieves know they can interrupt tracking if they hide a stolen car in an underground garage or steel shipping container. They can also use a portable digital radio frequency (RF) detector to find a tracking device in the vehicle and remove it completely.

So, to overcome this problem, Abeeway GPS trackers send very short, low-power radio signals via the LoRaWAN network. Thieves cannot use jamming devices to disable LoRaWAN transmissions, and they will not be able to find Abeeway devices using an RF detector.

Coupling unrivaled network technology with a versatile tracking solution

LoRaWAN® network technology is a widely used wireless protocol that leverages the unlicensed radio spectrum and enables battery-powered sensors to communicate with IoT applications via ultra-low data rate and long range, consuming very little power and allowing batteries to run longer. Because the LoRa radio signal is emitted over a wide spectral range, it greatly reduces the risk of interference from unwanted signals.

Most importantly, LoRa transmissions can pass through glass, metal, and concrete, allowing data to be sent not only outdoors, but also deep indoors and underground, which is a definite advantage for an anti-theft solution.

For Wetrak service in France, Roole is using the nationwide public LoRaWAN network provided by Orange, and powered by Actility’s ThingPark Wireless platform.

Benefiting from LoRaWAN features, Abeeway’s long-life wireless devices allow continuous use for months and years: 2 years with 2 positions per day. The devices work both indoors and outdoors thanks to their multi-technology geolocation system, integrating regular GPS, Abeeway’s patented Low-power GPS, Wi-Fi Sniffing, Bluetooth Low Energy and Bluetooth LE Beaconing for accurate indoor tracking.

Abeeway devices combine state-of-the-art location technologies, robust hardware, meticulous selection of high-performance low-power chipsets and uncompromising software optimization. This allows for flexible behavior, highly responsive to changing needs, and ensures the location of goods and people in a variety of coverage scenarios.

Finally, the service integrates the white-labeled Abeeway Mobile App. This user-friendly mobile app allows visualization of the current locations of multiple devices on a map, of the location history of a device on a map, but also geofencing & alarms (SOS, Motion, Leaving/entering geofenced zones), and even location sharing with other users.

Finally, the service integrates the Abeeway mobile application in white label. This user-friendly application allows users to view the current location of multiple devices on a map, the history of a device’s location, but also geofencing and alarms (SOS, movement, exit/entry of geofenced areas), and even sharing the location with other users.

“We chose Abeeway as a partner for our new car theft protection offer because of their unrivalled expertise in LoRaWAN-based geolocation technologies. Being a European partner was also a determining factor in order to guarantee a strong proximity in our exchanges.”

Thomas Fournier, CEO at Roole

“Roole’s Wetrak is the first to market ultra low-power, multi-technology recovery system leveraging the stealth and jamming resistance properties of LoRaWAN. Abeeway and Actility are proud to be the trusted partner of Roole for this innovation, and we are impressed by the massive market success of this new offering. We are even more proud to have already enabled many recoveries of stolen vehicles!”

Olivier Hersent, CEO at Actility and Abeeway

Advantech and Actility launch a new AI-based Intelligent Predictive Maintenance IoT Solution for Rotating Machinery

Advantech and Actility launch a new AI-based Intelligent Predictive Maintenance IoT Solution for Rotating Machinery

Press Release – Paris, France – 16 November 2022

Advantech and Actility announce the launch of a new integrated AI-based solution, supporting the machine operation team in realizing machine prognostics and health management. It allows to monitor multi machines’ status in one stop thanks to the real-time and next seven days’ machine healthy index, including ISO 10816 and degradation level.

The new solution is based on the Advantech WISE-2410 vibration sensor, the high-performance WISE-6610 LoRaWAN® gateway, Actility’s ThingPark Enterprise IoT network management platform and the advanced Advantech’ iMachine/PHM application, and is now available under Trial Kit form on Actility’s IoT marketplace: ThingPark Market.

The challenges of performing machines health checks

Maintenance companies have been experiencing increased difficulties in fulfilling their role in recent years. Due to the pandemic, they have been no longer able to travel to customer facilities to perform asset health analysis, and service providers are unable to realize their services and offers. May are still battling is an exponential slowdown due to the global lockdown.

Many manufacturers who rely on these services to maintain the health of process critical assets are helpless and thus face a high of costly downtime during these unprecedented times.

Implementing efficient maintenance processes is crucial to operators of industrial facilities, but it’s not an easy task. One of their greatest wishes is to avoid lengthy processes of data connection, pre-processing, model development and inference engine development.

In traditional method, still used by most factory operators, the on-site inspection is done manually, regularly but without stable inspection quality, and only passively reacting and informing the maintenance crew when the problem occurs.

Proactively Keeping Facilities at Productive Status Thanks to IoT

Actility & Advantech found a perfect partnership to join their forces and offer a solution to solve those issues.

Thanks to a great combination of hardware and software expertise, we designed a winning solution to keep our engines healthy and monitor them to prevent any possible mishap: the Predictive Maintenance Solution for Rotating Machinery Solution. By installing LoRaWAN-connected vibration sensors and easy implementation of the infrastructure, allows you to analyze data from sensors measuring vibrations frequencies of machines and equipment in order to detect anomalous behavior, therefore enabling industrial end customers to decrease machines shutdowns and work accidents while increasing performance and safety.

Users get a very precise machine status prediction, and prediction model retraining that refines the model while repositioning the sensor or refining the model performance.

Moreover, the most important feature designed ad hoc for the new solution is that it now acts proactively based on the future state of the machine, instead of carrying out routine inspections, preventing machine faults in advance. With the finetuned pre-trained model, users can expect to gain the inference result within two weeks of sensor installation.

Using this solution means joining the Industrial Revolution 4.0, and therefore ensuring longer lifespan of equipment, lower spare parts inventory, and having more cost-effective than run-to-failure or planned maintenance.

Applying the solution in an infinite number of use cases

Thanks to Predictive Maintenance Solution it was possible to overview all types of machines in one-stop, in real-time getting also the machine’s historical and future status. It can be used on petrochemical plants, PCB plants, Semiconductor Manufacturing Plants, and so much more.

One of the most successful use cases is the rotating manufacturing machinery management in steel plants. In this specific industry, the failure of the manufacturing machine will seriously affect the product line, that is the reason why it is extremely important to prevent unexpected breakdown.

How Advantech – Predictive Maintenance Solution Works?

Pretrained model implementation – The model is trained on a large benchmark dataset to solve a problem like the one that the customer wants to solve, so thanks to that, our solution, can automatically analyze the data preprocessing, feature value selection, and deep learning model processes.
Degrading level – The degrading level indicates the machine’s rotating signal status compared to a healthy device. To establish an efficient maintenance strategy, the operators could set the index threshold based on the experts’ experience.
ISO 10816 – gives general guidelines for the evaluation of machine vibration by measurements on non-rotating parts. This part of ISO 10816, however, establishes special procedures and guidelines for the measurement and classification of mechanical vibration of reciprocating compressors. Using multi-indexes, you can monitor your machine and keep an eye on your production line.

Novalink, a Swiss leader in the field of innovative alarm solutions since 1996, has become an Abeeway and Actility Solution Partner, in order to enable new tracking solutions in the healthcare sector.

Novalink boasts more than 7,000 systems successfully implemented worldwide. Their product called novaalert alarm software is the ideal alerting – evacuation – notification solution in professional environments. It includes the fields of industry and production, clinics and hospitals, and local authorities.

In this context, the novaalert alarm software offers three decisive advantages:

“Manufacturer freedom” thanks to certification covering all renowned telephony/infrastructure systems
“Technology freedom” thanks to the integration of both traditional and state-of-the-art interfaces/IT systems
“Project freedom” thanks to its suitability for both large-scale and cost-effective small-scale projects

Integrating low-power IoT tracking in the alert system for people needing assistance

Novalink found an ideal partner in Abeeway, so that novaalert could enable a variety of solutions in the healthcare sector, more specifically for psychiatric hospitals, retirement homes and nursing homes for dementia patients.

People suffering from dementia have a reduced ability to remember, think or make decisions that interferes with the performance of daily activities, that’s why, thanks to the combination between novaalert mobileAPP and Abeeway Micro Trackers missing people, affected by the mentioned disease, can be found easily and quickly.

The Abeeway Micro Tracker is a multi-mode tracker with embedded sensors for accurate outdoor and indoor geolocation. With its small size and long battery life up to a year on a single charge, the Abeeway Micro Tracker enables people to be located indoors via Bluetooth Beacons and outdoors via GPS, and it uses LoRaWAN connectivity. This widely used wireless protocol allows battery-powered sensors to communicate with IoT applications via a long-range, ultra-low data rate connection, resulting in longer battery life.

Another important functionality is the versatility of the research of the missing person that can be automatic or manual. Automated detection is possible via a combination of GPS Geofence and iBeacon technology, instead, manual searches can also be triggered directly in the novaalert mobileAPP.

Using the Micro Tracker button, a person seeking assistance can trigger an alarm independently thanks to novaalert mobileAPP, the nursing staff receives the alarm message including the tracker’s exact location (indoors and outdoors) and can quickly come to the aid of the person in distress.

Zenner, Datacake and Actility release a new IoT Indoor Air Quality solution

Zenner, Datacake and Actility release a new IoT Indoor Air Quality solution for CO2 monitoring

Press Release – Paris, France – October 12, 2022

Actility, in joint work with Zenner, a leading manufacturer of measuring devices and sensors from Germany and DataCake, a leading low-code IoT platform provider, now offer a new IOT Indoor Air Quality Solution focused on monitoring the environmental characteristics inside buildings that may affect human health, comfort, or work performance sustained.

The solution is using LoRaWAN® connectivity and includes CO2 monitoring sensor from Zenner, LoRaWAN Network Server and Management platform from Actility – ThingPark Enterpise, and the application from Datacake. The solution is extremely simple to set up and allows monitoring in real-time the concentration of CO2 to create a safer and healthier indoor ambient condition, protect employees, workers or students, and meet air quality regulations levels. It can be used in any indoor space, including classrooms, offices, meeting rooms, shops, industrial facilities, and public buildings, among others.

This IOT Indoor Air Quality Solution is now available on ThingPark Market, Actility’s IoT solutions marketplace!

Optimization of air quality is crucial for healthy and productive working conditions

Covid-19 has dramatically changed our lives, we have changed our lifestyles, spending more time in our homes being forced to cope with medical emergencies, therefore it has become increasingly important to monitor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ).

The concentration of CO2 is an important indicator of air quality. The higher the CO2 value in a building, the less comfortable it is for the people who live there. CO2 concentrations rise rapidly in poorly ventilated rooms.

The EU Royal Decree of 2 May 2019 well-being code at work on indoor air quality establishes that the employer must take the necessary technical and/or organizational measures to ensure that CO2 concentrations in the workplace are less than 900 ppm.

According to scientific research, improving IAQ is as effective as vaccinating 50-60% of the population in reducing aerosol transmission. Carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter (PM), humidity, and temperature monitoring necessitate the installation of sensors in facilities that do not typically rely on pre-existing wiring for this purpose. These installations are facilitated by wireless IoT networks such as LoRaWAN. It is the ideal technology network to meet these requirements.

LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is an open standard connectivity technology that has proven to be a market leader for smart applications, delivering solutions that are easy to scale, optimize operational costs, and reduce utility waste. LoRaWAN enables the use of its extremely long-range and low-power capabilities to cover thousands of kilometers at a low cost, particularly in remote and difficult-to-reach areas, and to install devices that provide data in real time while lasting for years on a single battery charge.

Key Solution Features:

Sensor design: clean and modern design, which makes it discrete in both business and home environments.
Ease of use: A wireless and battery-based sensor provides the conditions for its users to perform the tasks safely, effectively, and efficiently while enjoying the experience.
Adaptability: Scalable and tailor-made solution: An adapted kit to any indoor industrial environment such as warehouses storage, retail, offices, and much more.
Low-power and low-cost: LoRaWAN long-range technology allows easy installation and the ability to monitor sensors in a very large area with low infrastructure cost.

Data-driven management: Efficiency gain: stand at the threshold of our shared indoor spaces, and answer new questions raised: “What is the air quality?” or “Do we need to open a window?”

What you will find in the kit:

Zenner CO2 Indicator L868 ID A Sensor

A sophisticated designed Zenner Sensor

A compact indoor EU868 LoRaWAN radio sensor for measuring the CO2 content of indoor air. With the integrated display and the color-changing LED display, the sensor always provides real-time information about the current CO2 value, the battery level, and the status of the connection.
