Libelium believes in a world completely connected to gather data from anything located anywhere to enable citizens and organizations to make decisions based on valuable information. The vision of a Smart World consists on monitoring parameters and physical conditions that impact in different productive sectors like agriculture, industry or cities, and of course in valuable resources like water, environment or eHealth.

Libelium Smart Building gives real-time information to the company about outside air and noise pollution levels and environmental parameters as well as inside ambient conditions, water quality or waste management. The goal has been showing all the verticals applications of the technology in a Living Lab.

“This project aims to convert our central offices in a Smart Building to clearly and simply explain how our technology works and the wide range of applications that can be deployed quickly and reliably to the market”, has stated David Gascón, Libelium CTO.

    • Indoor deployment:
      • Waspmote Plug & Sense! Smart Water to measure water parameters and guarantee the quality of the water pond of the hall with pH, connectivity, oxidation reduction potential (ORP), DO (dissolved oxygen) and temperature sensors.
      • Waspmote Plug & Sense! Smart Cities located at the production area to control waste management in the main container with ultrasound sensor.
      • Waspmote Plug & Sense! Ambient Control deployed at MySignals warehouse to monitor temperature and humidity. There has been set a temperature range to detect higher and lower temperatures that send an alarm by email to the person in charge to solve the problem.

The information gathered by the Smart Parking Sensor Node is sent through LoRaWAN to a LoRaWAN base station. The other seven Waspmote Plug & Sense! Sensor Platforms communicate with the IoT Gateway through 802.15.4. All the information is visualized in a dashboard developed by Libelium and located at the IoT Showroom.

Libelium’s IoT Showroom

In 2016 Libelium celebrated its tenth anniversary and one of the main initiatives was creating an IoT showroom in its central offices. This new area is divided in different areas explaining the international strategy of Libelium, the value chain of the company and its commitment to interoperability.

“The idea to create the IoT Showroom arose from the need to integrate in a space the three main signs of Libelium’s identity: interoperability, internationalization and the extensive ecosystem”, has explained Alicia Asín, Libelium CEO.
