Use case : Energy optimization of buildings

• Configuration :• 1 CloudGate Ethernet or 3G gateway per warehouse with smart metering card

(Mbus, Zigbee, wMbus) and industrial ethernet card (RS232, Modbus)

• Setup (Denmark) :• 1 metering cabinet close to CloudGate

• Several electricity circuits monitored with Zigbee meters from Meazon (www.meazon.com)

• More metering cabinets in same warehouse are possible

• Several electricity circuits monitored with Zigbee meters from Meazon (www.meazon.com)

• Meter values communicated to CloudGate over 169MHz wireless M-bus

Use case : Water meters & water cooling

in appartment buildings

• Configuration: CloudGate 4G with

o Modbus /M-bus front expansion card

o LoRaWAN rear expansion card

• Setup (Dubai)

o Gather15min meter readings from

up to 250 residential water meters

inside the building using Mbus

o Gather 15min meter readings

from bulk water meter outside

the building using Mbus-to-LoRa

converter

o Remotely open and

close valves for

district cooling (Airco)

o All data is received

by CloudGate and sent to backend

over LTE connectionBulk water

Use case : Office building optimization

• CloudGate configuration

o CloudGate 4G with LoRaWAN expansion card

o LoRa sensor for every seating location (temp, humidity, PIR)

• Setup (Belgium)

o 1850 LoRa sensors installed (every desk, every meeting room)

o LoRa sensors send information to CloudGate

o CloudGate sends all information to backend cloud server

o Dashboard : color code indicates occupancy (green, yellow, orange, red)

18

What do we offer/ what are we lacking ?

• We know how to connect things to the Cloud

• CloudGate has unique HW flexibility

• Expansion cards available for many IoT use cases

• Possible to make customer-specific expansion cards

• With a strong SW offering

• LuvitRed application with IoT building blocks for buildings (KNX, BACnet, M-bus, Modbus, LoRa, BLE, Zigbee,...) and Cloud platforms

• What we don’t have

• The vertical market knowledge in each of the IoT markets

-> Domain specialists

• The specific sensors that are needed to gather data from

-> Sensor builders

• The Cloud platform to store and visualize data

-> AEP platforms

• The apps to view and act on the data on your smartphone

-> App builders
