Add-on services

IoT and hardware connectivity

We connect your system to sensors and devices. You can keep an eye on what's happening in the warehouse, on the shop floor or in the building, even remotely. You get an alert when something isn't right, and you can control devices straight from your computer or phone.

What you get

A difference you'll feel in your everyday work

Today

How things often work today

  • Readings are written down by hand in a notebook or spreadsheet, or not at all.
  • A cooling failure over the weekend isn't noticed until Monday morning.
  • Heating, lighting or machines keep running even when they're not needed.
  • You don't know which device or site uses the most energy.
Instead

With forloop

  • Sensors measure continuously and every reading is stored automatically.
  • If something fails, an alert reaches your phone instantly, even at night or at the weekend.
  • Devices switch on and off as needed, automatically or remotely.
  • You can see the energy use of every device and site clearly in one place.

FAQ

FAQs about IoT and sensors

Do you supply the sensors themselves?

No, we don't supply the sensors ourselves. We can, however, recommend suitable, proven devices available on the market and take care of connecting them to your system.

How much does an IoT solution with sensors cost?

It depends on the number and type of sensors, how they connect, and the scope of the monitoring and control app. Affordable, widely available off-the-shelf devices can often be used. We can give you a ballpark figure in a no-obligation consultation, and you get an exact budget in the solution proposal.

What if a device loses its connection?

The data is stored and transferred once the connection is restored. We can also alert you to the outage.

Can we use devices we already have?

Often, yes. If a device can provide data, we can connect it to the app.
