The Meshed LoRaWAN IoT Telemetry in Smart Industries offering takes advantage of real-time, data-driven technologies and intelligent asset management for the monitoring and maintenance of assets.
Traditional Telemetry
Traditional telemetry systems have long been used in industrial processing for remote monitoring, data collection, and control of equipment and processes. These systems typically include:
- SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)
- PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers)
- RTUs (Remote Terminal Units)
- Hardwired & Proprietary Networks – Point to point telemetry that is specific to one use case and uses proprietary hardware and data transmission is via dedicated connections or private radio networks.
The key challenges with Traditional Telemetry include:
- Expensive Infrastructure – High costs for installation, maintenance, and upgrades.
- Limited Scalability – Hardwired or proprietary networks are difficult to expand.
- Low Data Frequency – Often lacks real-time capabilities.
- Complex Integration – Requires specialised hardware and software to connect with new technologies.
- Single-Purpose Systems – Often designed for specific use cases, limiting flexibility.
How Meshed IoT is Disrupting Traditional Telemetry in Industrial Processing
With IoT Telemetry and digital asset management, machines and critical infrastructure can be remotely monitored using secure, autonomous systems. Leveraging LoRaWAN, a single network can support hundreds of use cases, maximising ROI with lower cost, long-range, battery-operated sensors.
Our network delivers:
- Up to 10 km of long-range connectivity (beyond in ideal scenarios)
- Scalability for thousands of sensors in complex industrial and processing environments
- Seamless integration with GIS, ERP, asset management, and AI-driven analytics
From Scheduled Maintenance to Predictive Maintenance
Most industrial and processing operations still rely on fixed maintenance schedules, which can lead to missed failures or unnecessary inspections. Meshed through IoT Telemetry, converts blind, time-based maintenance into real-time, data-driven decision-making, enabling:
- Condition-Based Monitoring (CBM) – Detect faults before they cause downtime.
- Predictive Maintenance – AI-driven insights to prevent costly failures.
- Reduced Operational Costs – Minimised manual inspections and maintenance inefficiencies.
A Low-Cost, High-Impact Digital Solution
Meshed provides a turnkey LoRaWAN IoT deployment model:
- Pre-configured, tested gateways and sensors – Plug & play for immediate insights.
- Long battery life (5-10 years) – Minimal maintenance and easy installation.
- Web & mobile visualisation platform – Accessible, real-time data from anywhere.
Meshed and LoRaWAN IoT Telemetry
In summary, Meshed is deploying Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and realising greater efficiencies for industries through:
- Wireless, Low-Cost Sensors – Using LoRaWAN for long-range, low-power connectivity which enables significant coverage of mining extraction, processing or transport sites with flexible backhaul options of cellular or satellite.
- As a Service Cloud-Based Solution enabling scalable access to real time data & no interference with customer SCADA or control systems
- Best Practice Security with end-to-end encryption embedded in the data flow from device to the application layers that help protect end devices from cyber threats and attacks.
- AI & Predictive Analytics – Advanced algorithms providing insights, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance.
- Scalability & Flexibility – Easily deploy thousands of sensors across multiple locations at the lowest cost
- Seamless Integration – Open APIs enabling direct data integration into ERP, GIS, FMS, and asset management systems.
- Sustainability Improvements – Through understanding the immediate impacts of energy and water consumption, monitoring of renewable energy sources including batteries and managing waste within your operations and supply chain.
- Reporting & Compliance – No more guess work! Operations Managers can use factual real-time data for reporting on failures and incidents, environmental reporting & business compliance.
