Questions about our IoT solutions
What are the highest-ROI IoT use cases for a Swiss SME?
The two use cases with the shortest ROI for Swiss SMEs are: (1) building energy monitoring — savings on the energy bill, (2) vehicle fleet tracking — route and consumption optimisation. We produce a personalised ROI projection before any deployment.
How much does an IoT solution cost for a Swiss SME?
A basic smart building solution — 10 to 15 sensors, a LoRaWAN gateway, dashboard and alerts — can be deployed from a few thousand Swiss francs. A larger solution covering multiple sites or including fleet tracking with advanced analytics represents a more significant investment — justified by a documented ROI. We always produce a detailed feasibility study before any commitment.
Do these solutions work in an older building or an industrial site without Wi-Fi?
Yes — that is precisely why we use LoRaWAN as our reference technology for challenging environments. No cabling required, no existing Wi-Fi infrastructure needed. Sensors run on battery for 2 to 10 years and transmit data through thick walls, basements and high radio-attenuation areas.
Can your IoT solutions connect to our existing ERP or CMMS?
Yes. We integrate IoT data with the main Swiss ERPs (SAP, Odoo, Abacus) and CMMS platforms (SAP PM, Infor, Divalto, Twimm) via standardised APIs. The goal is for your field data to directly enrich your existing business tools — without creating a new data silo or changing your working habits.
What is the actual lifespan of IoT sensors?
Battery-powered LoRaWAN sensors have a lifespan of 2 to 10 years depending on data transmission frequency. Wired or PoE-powered sensors have no autonomy constraints. We document the expected lifespan of each device during the initial audit and factor in replacement costs in the TCO (total cost of ownership) projection.
Is our IoT data hosted in Switzerland?
Yes, by default. We select IoT platforms hosted on Swiss or European soil — in compliance with the nFADP and our clients' data sovereignty requirements. If your internal policy requires a specific hosting location, we adapt accordingly.
Do you handle IoT equipment maintenance after deployment?
Yes. Our IoT management contracts include: continuous sensor health monitoring, replacement of faulty devices, configuration optimisation and technical support. You benefit from a fully operational IoT infrastructure without mobilising in-house technical expertise.
