With its NETRIS® family, WIKA has launched three radio units that ensure seamless and secure transmission of measured data in IIoT applications. The instruments allow battery-powered wireless transmission via the license-free LoRaWAN® (Long Range Wide Area Network) radio standard. This enables long ranges of up to 10 km and a battery life of up to five years. The radio units can be easily configured via WIKA’s web-based IIoT cloud platform and the LoRaWAN® network, in some cases also via mobile devices using the myWIKA wireless device app.
The NETRIS® instruments are part of WIKA’s IIoT platform, which is available either as a software-as-a-service or on-premises solution. The cloud platform offers full end-to-end encryption with bi-directional communication for a secure IIoT environment. Standard sensors can be connected to the compact NETRIS®1 and -2 radio units to transmit measured data wirelessly to the cloud for big-data analysis. In addition to the license-free LoRaWAN® and mioty® radio standards, the NETRIS®1 instrument uses Bluetooth® for configuration and short-range data transmission.
