// Industry

IoT for connected factories.

Predictive maintenance, real-time production tracking, energy optimisation — Industry 4.0 demands resilient, secure, real-time systems built for the factory floor.

// Sector challenges

The realities of IoT in Industry 4.0.

Generic connected solutions don't survive contact with the field. Successful deployments take sector-specific constraints seriously from day one.

/01

Legacy equipment

Most factories operate machines that were never designed to be connected. Retrofitting them requires robust sensors, gateways and protocols that respect harsh industrial conditions.

/02

Operational continuity

Production lines cannot afford downtime. Any IoT deployment must integrate without disrupting existing processes, with redundancy and graceful failure modes built in.

/03

Data sovereignty

Industrial data is strategic. Manufacturers need solutions that keep sensitive process information secure, often within their own networks, while still leveraging the cloud where appropriate.

/04

Heterogeneous protocols

Industrial sites mix Modbus, OPC UA, PROFINET, CAN and modern IP protocols. A unified IoT layer must translate and orchestrate them all.

// Use cases

Where Linkweez creates value.

A non-exhaustive sample of projects we design, prototype, manufacture and support for Industry 4.0 clients.

/01

Predictive maintenance

Vibration, temperature and acoustic sensors detect early signs of equipment failure. Algorithms flag anomalies before they cause unplanned downtime.

/02

Asset & inventory tracking

Real-time location of tools, materials and work-in-progress across the plant, reducing search time and improving throughput.

/03

Energy & environmental monitoring

Granular tracking of electricity, compressed air, gas and water consumption to identify waste and meet ESG targets.

/04

Production line analytics

OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) monitoring, cycle-time analysis, quality correlation across stations.

/05

Worker safety

Connected wearables and area monitoring for hazardous environments, gas detection, and emergency response.

// Recommended stack

Technology choices that fit the sector.

Every layer of the connected stack tuned to the specific demands of Industry 4.0.

Edge

Industrial gateways, ruggedized sensors, edge AI

Connectivity

LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, Private 5G, Wi-Fi 6, wired industrial Ethernet

Security
