THINGSFORCE® - Your IoT gateway

intelligent | flexible | secure

Globally functioning and reliable M2M (machine-to-machine) communication is essential for the optimal implementation of IoT projects. Mobile radio is the only transmission technology that guarantees almost 100% secure and reliable data transmission. THINGSFORCE® establishes a connection that cannot be attacked from outside via the established networks, with integrated encryption algorithms covering all necessary security aspects as standard. There is no need for time-consuming installation and maintenance of additional hardware on site.

Icon Universal

Universal

Gateway for any type of sensor, for connecting various internal bus systems to the Internet or any other application. An integrated radio module transmits a digital signal to the server via NB-IoT or LTE CAT-M (fallback 2G, 4G). THINGSFORCE® is open to individual configurations, either during installation or over-the-air if required. Even if there is no mobile Internet available, you can THINGSFORCE®as a backup solution Receive and send SMS messages.

Icon Marketingboost

Ready to go

THINGSFORCE®nano is our tried-and-tested solution for your fast track to proof of concept and series production. The IoT hardware platform is already preconfigured and ready for use. If required, THINGSFORCE®can be flexibly adapted to your individual requirements: Interfaces, sensors, connections, power supply. We are open to everything – talk to us!

Radio technology

Transmission standards

A modular chipset enables easy network changes from narrowband IoT to LTE CAT-M (fallback 2G, 4G). NB-IoT is specifically designed for low energy consumption, small data volumes and transmission over long distances and deep into buildings. Data reduction means that only a fraction of the data volume of conventional IT connections is required.

Icon Sensors Green

Sensor connection

THINGSFORCE®nano can be equipped with a wide range of sensors: For level control in vending machines, for monitoring use in flood protection, for door contact detection in remote buildings, as a gateway from an internal bus system to the Internet – the possible applications are almost unlimited!

Secure data exchange

Secure data exchange

Secure data exchange via encrypted, standardized transmission protocols with a security concept: depending on the business case, MQTT (TCP/IP-based) or HSPP2 (UDP-based).

VPN and IoT security

Private IP VPN

Virtual Private Network is an encrypted virtual network that enables tamper-proof data exchange.

Icon monitoring

Reliable 24/7

Would you like an autonomous or continuously operated gateway? Battery or rechargeable battery powered, THINGSFORCE®can be used as a stand-alone unit even in inaccessible regions and guarantees reliable operation for up to five years.

Icon Self-sufficient system

Over-The-Air

You can also configure the THINGSFORCE®nano via SMS: Firmware updates can also be carried out over-the-air via a mobile Internet connection.

"An advanced IoT device that is part of the ThingsForce IoT hardware platform, with sensors and wireless connectivity for data collection and transmission."

External devices

With an internal antenna, THINGSFORCE®nano functions as a completely independent unit. As an option, THINGSFORCE®offers a variety of I/O ports for external devices.

ROBIOTIC IoT Cloud Platform

THINGSFORCE®transfers all recorded sensor and machine data to the cloud. This is where our core competence comes into play – the intelligent, secure and rapid analysis of the data collected, regardless of the scope.

Icon platform operation

Intelligent data analysis

The sensor and machine data is collected centrally and cost-effectively in the cloud in accordance with the applicable GDPR standards. The data volumes are intelligently condensed and analyzed here. We use individual rules engines to define logical processes, define rules and take care of the automated execution of these rules.

Icon Data Security Green

Security concept

Mobile phone technology already ensures a high standard of security during data transmission with end-to-end encryption, the unique assignment of device IDs and the separate storage of user and operating data. Building on this, we install further security layers for your individual IoT security concept, depending on the IoT scenario.
