HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GENERATE VALUE WITH LoRaWAN ?
• Easy deployment – Cost efficient infrastructure : GW price / 10 vs cellular
• Network on demand – no spectrum fee, cost-efficient private network server
in SaaS or On-premise
• Reduced Infrastructure Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
CAPEX
RoI
• Reduce energy consumption -> $$ • Monitor workers -> reduce accidents, increase security • Operations optimisation -> better use of workforce & material, $$ • Monitor infrastructure -> reduce downtimes & unscheduled maintenance • Enable new use cases that were not possible before -> new services & growth • Compliance with new standards • Supply chain -> better stock/asset management, $$ • Working environment monitoring -> worker safety
15
WHAT IS DRIVING THE IoT IN THE INDUSTRY ?
Energy monitoring (ISO 50001)
Asset & inventory tracking / antitheft / management / supply chain
Operation optimisation (limit human actions)
Preventive maintenance
Instrumentation
Digitalization
Proven compliance with new certifications (energy, pollution etc.)
Worker safety & comfort
