Problem
Many industrial companies struggle to efficiently collect data from diverse sensors in remote or harsh environments, leading to high cabling costs and limited real-time monitoring capabilities. Existing solutions often lack the scalability and low total cost of ownership required for widespread Industry 4.0 adoption.
Solution
VolleyBoast offers industrial-grade VoBo endpoints that connect a wide array of sensors to cost-effective and scalable LoRaWAN networks, enabling efficient data collection and edge computing. These endpoints bridge common industrial transmitters, such as 4-20mA, Modbus RTU, and thermocouples, to LoRaWAN, eliminating cabling requirements for communication and power. The VoBo endpoints are designed for harsh outdoor conditions and hazardous areas, providing years of monitoring on a single battery. Customer-defined analytics bring compute to the edge, allowing for real-time data processing and informed decision-making.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes industrial companies in sectors such as chemical, oil and gas, water, agriculture, pulp and paper, and mining, seeking to remotely monitor critical data points and enhance operational efficiency.
