IoT Solutions
Industrial Internet of things (IIoT) can transform the way industries work. It can create autonomous self-healing machines and enhance inventories using machine-learning. Industries can manage their supply chain using IoT devices and run the production cycle economically.
The main challenge of the industry is to improve its competitiveness by reducing costs, optimizing productive processes while respecting compliance.
The manufacturing industry is a leader in the Internet of Things. There are many cases of actual IoT deployments that offer rapid return and enable manufacturers to realize digital transformations from several perspectives: efficiency, automation, customer-centricity, competitive benefits, and the advantages which are offered by using data across the manufacturing value chain and to tap into new revenue sources, a key aspect of Industry 4.0 in manufacturing.
How the IoT contributes to achieving this goal:
Major benefit of IIoT: the path to improved productivity
What are the top benefits of IoT in manufacturing?
Libelium brings over the Internet of Things to Industry 4.0 offering new applications for factory automation, automotive applications, industrial networking, building and infrastructure, transportation, energy applications, and even military uses.
The compatibility added with new industrial protocol modules and API libraries for Plug & Sense! Sensor Platform allows connecting to the Cloud sensor information from industrial devices.
Plug & Sense! can incorporate an Industrial Protocol module as a secondary communication option. This feature opens a wide variety of applications for industrial sensing and automation, military, automobile, vehicle tracking, or remote factory management.
The set of Industrial Protocol modules for Waspmote allows the user to interface with different industrial buses:
Waspmote allows to perform three main applications:
1º- Connect any sensor to an existing industrial bus
Waspmote can be configured to work as a node in the network, inserting sensor data into the industrial bus already present. Waspmote can obtain information from more than 70 sensors currently integrated in the platform by using specific sensor boards (e.g: CO, CO2, temperature, humidity, acceleration, pH, IR, luminosity, vibration, etc). This way, the sensor information can be read from any industrial device connected to the bus.
2º- Add wireless connectivity to wired buses
Waspmote can be configured to read the information from the bus and send it to the Libelium IoT Gateway using any of the wireless radio modules available: 802.15.4, 868 MHz, 900 MHz, WiFi, 4G, Sigfox and LoRaWAN.
3º- Connect to the Cloud industrial devices
Waspmote can be configured to read the information coming from the bus and send it via wireless directly to the Cloud using WiFi, GPRS, GPRS+GPS, 3G or 4G radio interfaces.

Technical Guide
Applications:
The user can choose among a wide variety of standard sensors
Small Tracker
Tiny, lightweight and ultra-rugged battery-powered GPS tracking device with up to 3 years of battery life for asset tracking and theft recovery.
Key features:
Medium Tracker
Compact, ultra-rugged, long-life battery-powered GPS tracking device that has been designed for tracking containers, trailers, skip bins, and other assets where super-long battery life is required without sacrificing the frequency of updates and performance.
Up to 7 years battery life for long-term asset tracking, theft recovery, and more.
Key features:
WasteWater Quality
Smart Water Xtreme for wastewater quality measurement in industrial environments.
All sensors/probes incorporate calibration inside. Very low power consumption. Sleep mode available. Robust sensor probes: PVC and stainless steel. 5-6 bar pressure resistance.
Optical and anti-fouling systems require less maintenance.
Fouling effect occurs when there is organic materials in the water. It creates a “bio-film” which adheres to the probes and provokes wrong measurements → quality decreases
A variety of mounting accessories for each sensor are available to the customer, to be placed in pipes or tanks.
Protective wildlife accessories are also available.
Sensors available:
Noise & Air Quality in factories
Noise and air quality control in the surroundings of the factory.
Smart Environment enables the Air Quality Index (AQI) calculation, thanks to electro-chemical gas sensors providing extremely accurate ppm values and a high-end Particle Matter sensor.
Sensors available:
RS-485
Applications:
CAN Bus
Applications:
Modbus
The Modbus is a software library that can be operated physically on the RS-485 module.
Applications:
4-20 mA
Applications:
Meshlium Scanner incorporates vehicle detection near the station that is blended with the rest of the data that the ERP already has (sales, liters of gasoline, price, etc.). In this way, Zoilo Ríos can change the price per liter when the customer is less sensitive to cost and more sensitive to the need to refuel.
A restaurant in New Zealand has placed a NB-IoT enabled Libelium Plug & Sense! device in their kitchen to monitor indoor air quality.
