Industrial Weather Monitoring with LoRaWAN Sensors
Maintaining optimal environmental conditions is critical in industrial facilities to ensure equipment longevity, worker safety, and uninterrupted production. At this plant, we deployed Macnman LoRaWAN weather stations to monitor temperature, humidity, and air pressure in real time. The long-range, low-power LoRaWAN network delivers continuous, reliable data to central dashboards, empowering managers with actionable insights, enabling proactive decisions, and reducing operational risks.
