Data transfer via LoRaWAN technology to the DAQ-Cloud
LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) is a network protocol technology that was developed for wireless communication over long distances with low energy consumption. Data is collected from sensors or other end devices (usually battery-powered devices) and sent to gateways via the LoRa protocol. The gateway serves as a bridge between the sensors or end devices and the network server, which in turn transmits the data to the application server (e.g. DAQ-Cloud). There are now many sensors on the market for different areas of application. These include the sushi sensors from Yokogawa. The measurement data (temperature or vibration) is collected and transmitted directly to the DAQ-Cloud via a gateway. The data can then be analysed and used for various applications.
