TEKTELIC

Deutsche Bahn, Europe’s largest railway operator, and rail infrastructure owner has been leading innovation in the railway industry with IoT technology solutions supported by TEKTELIC. TEKTELIC is providing a product line of the Best-in-Class KONA Gateways in DB’s corporate facilities, and the partnership has been a key driver for the implementation of the Basic Station packet forwarder on these gateways to support DB’s preferred interface to the Network Server. DB has been leveraging the IoT network to test many applications including asset tracking and remote asset monitoring.Deutsche Bahn selected TEKTELIC as its IoT gateway provider thanks to its Always-on Connectivity, Carrier Grade design and approach to providing customers with the lowest Total Cost of Ownership for their LoRaWAN® networks. The KONA Gateways are managed on TEKTELIC’s customized KONA Element Operations, Administration and Management server, a comprehensive tool allowing operators to configure, monitor and optimize all of the Gateways in their network from a single node.

Monitoring and assessing key welfare indicators such as weight, water consumption, temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels within poultry houses is essential for ensuring sustainable and productive poultry farming practices. However, assessing these indicators in large poultry farms that rear millions of birds each year is no easy undertaking.A customer managing 700,000 birds across 7 farms required a solution to wirelessly monitor parameters including climate, water consumption, and bird weights. Prior to implementing the PrognositX - Poultry Sense IoT solution, this customer manually took readings of temperature and humidity conditions and input those values into a spreadsheet. This proved to be a lengthy and increasingly inefficient process. Conditions in every shed and farm can vary, and with increasingly stringent audit requirements, the customer required a solution that would enable them to efficiently and consistently capture, track, and interpret real-time data.

Proper storage plays a vital role in safeguarding the integrity of pharmaceutical products. Many drugs, medicine, and other pharmaceuticals are susceptible to temperature and humidity levels, and as such, have stringent storage requirements.Improper storage can result in medications losing their efficacy or becoming harmful to patients. To avoid deterioration in pharmaceutical product quality, clinic operators must consistently and accurately measure, monitor, and track real-time conditions in pharmaceutical storage cabinets. Controlling these conditions presents a significant challenge for medical facilities, as manually checking temperature and humidity is inefficient and labor-intensive, also carrying the risk of human error in measurement accuracy and reporting. IoT technologies are enabling medical practitioners to automate temperature monitoring of pharmaceutical storage cabinets. As one of the most renowned private medical clinics in Switzerland, the Merian Iselin Clinic sought a reliable and effective method of remotely monitoring and maintaining ideal temperature and humidity conditions within its pharmaceutical storage cabinets.

Kaunas, the second-largest city in Lithuania, is strategically located in the center of Europe, making it a crucial hub for logistics, economic processes, and innovation flows. Despite its small population of around 400,000, the city's location makes it significant for all of Europe. However, Kaunas faces several challenges. It has a growing elderly population, a deteriorating infrastructure, and a rapid increase in car numbers. Environmental issues such as global warming, air pollution, and water supply are also pressing concerns. The city's heating system, which serves nearly 90% of residents, faces problems with uninterrupted water supply and power consumption. Kauno energija, a company that has been operating in Lithuania since 1963, has been instrumental in improving community services and contributing to cost savings from the city budget. However, the need to integrate an IoT network to address these challenges is evident.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of maintaining a healthy indoor environment, with parameters such as temperature, humidity, CO2 levels, and adequate ventilation directly tied to overall wellbeing. Building operators need a solution to gain remote intelligence on building conditions to monitor indoor climates. By having this information, they could proactively intervene to maintain optimal climate conditions. However, there is a lack of low-cost, end-to-end solutions available capable of ensuring that every home is not only a safe and healthy environment but can also do so in a way that gives the end user complete control in an end-to-end user-friendly interface.
