With its hardware and sensors, this IoT solution offers the possibility of determining parameters in the air and can thus determine the relative humidity, temperatures, and upcoming frost. Extended functions enable the monitoring of fine dust, energy consumption (electricity and water), water level, noise, light intensity, and door contacts. In addition, the application has an alarm system that knocks if defined standards are exceeded or undershot. This enables processes in industry, logistics, agriculture and smart cities to be redesigned and made more efficient.

How does the condition monitoring device from Magenta Telekom work?

The Plug and Play solution from Magenta is a total solution consisting of hardware, connectivity, a platform, and service. The sensor, which is attached to the hardware, sends regular updates as well as warnings and safety instructions and enables the documentation of statistical values ​​via a central platform. The process of transferring the values ​​from the device to the platform works via the nationwide rolled-out NB-IoT network (NarrowBand IoT) from Magenta. NB-IoT enables long-range and long battery life for the devices. The parameters required for the desired measurement location can be adapted and monitored remotely from the monitor or mobile device.

Applications: Condition monitoring is also in use at Magenta Telekom

Corona requires companies and communities to work even more cost-effectively. Digitization around the Internet of Things enables cost savings through automation. In addition, energy efficiency is a big topic that is ubiquitous. The overall solution can support condition monitoring. Magenta Telekom uses the solution itself to have an overview of the inside and outside temperatures at technical locations. This means that the air conditioning systems that cool server rooms or broadcasting locations, for example, can be operated as efficiently and energy-efficiently as possible, especially in summer.

Condition monitoring in industry: Air parameters in production facilities and storage rooms in which sensitive goods such as food or medicines are produced or stored can always be kept in mind with the condition monitoring device.

For Smart City : For meaningful fine dust measurement, the Condition Monitoring Device can even be attached to hard-to-reach places such as road tunnels, intersections, lanterns, or overhead lines, thus supplying current air quality data and supporting compliance with various guidelines. In addition, information can be provided in good time about the rise in water levels in flood-prone areas.

In logistics: goods or loads are exposed to many strains on the way. The condition monitoring device can be used to check whether the goods to be delivered are likely to reach their destination in perfect condition.

In agriculture: The condition monitoring device from Magenta Business is suitable as a frost warning device, for example for fruit and wine growing and other susceptible crops. If there is a risk of frost, predefined receivers are alerted. magenta telekom iot
