Not every IoT problem isn't the same.
OSOS doesn't only sell the four modules in its catalog. It designs custom IoT architectures by combining electronic hardware, LoRaWAN communication, sensors, gateways, data infrastructure and software components as needed — from PCB to AI, with the same engineering team, under the same roof.
Not every need follows the same path.
In some projects a standard I‑METS module is enough and can be deployed in the field within hours. In others, an architecture needs to be co-designed from the sensor up through the software. The distinction below clarifies which path you should start from.
Standard Solutions
- Electricity — I‑METS 20
- Natural Gas — I‑METS 90
- Water — I‑METS 70
- Valve Control — I‑METS 80
Custom Project Solutions
- Sensor
- Electronic hardware
- LoRaWAN / M‑Bus communication
- Gateway
- Software & OSOS Platform
- Data analytics
A custom project is built from these six layers.
None of it is outsourced — from PCB design to cloud software, it all comes from the same OSOS R&D team.
Sensor
Sensor selection and integration for electricity, water and natural gas metering and section-level sub-metering applications.
Electronic Hardware
From PCB design to injection molds — 100% our own engineering, just as with the I‑METS family.
LoRaWAN / M‑Bus Communication
868 MHz LoRaWAN® network; mechanical meter integration via an EN 13757‑3 M‑Bus interface (as implemented in I‑METS 70).
Gateway
Solar-powered autonomous gateways/base stations are positioned according to the field geography.
Software & OSOS Platform
From a ChirpStack-based network server to the OSOS Platform; ERP/GIS/SCADA/billing integration via an open API.
Data Analytics
AI analytics engine producing anomaly/leak detection, consumption forecasting and decision-support output.
From idea to field, in 7 steps.
Every custom project proceeds with the same engineering discipline — a skipped step means a field deployment that ends in surprises.
We Understand the Need
We analyze your field and operational requirements, your existing infrastructure and your metering/monitoring goal.
We Design the Architecture
We determine how the sensor, device, communication and data infrastructure come together.
We Define the Hardware
We decide whether to start from the existing I‑METS family or develop hardware specific to the project's requirements.
We Set Up the Communication
We deploy LoRaWAN® 868 MHz and, where needed, suitable communication technologies such as M‑Bus.
We Connect to the Platform
We ensure the data is transferred to, stored and managed on the OSOS Platform.
We Make Sense of the Data
Where appropriate, we bring in analytics, alarm, reporting and AI layers.
We Implement in the Field
We proceed in order: pilot → test → commissioning → scale-up.
Same components, different problems.
The areas below show how the component palette above can come together in the field. The first two build on our existing platform capabilities; the next three are example application areas that could be designed on a project basis through LoRaWAN®-based sensor integration.
Industrial Energy Monitoring
- ProblemSection-level consumption within the facility isn't visible; where the loss occurs is unclear.
- TechnologyI‑METS 80 collects section meters via a dry pulse input.
- ArchitectureLoRaWAN® → OSOS Platform → AI analytics engine.
- SolutionPeak and anomaly detection is automatic.
- ValueWhoever owns energy/water cost sees where the loss originates.
Field Equipment and Asset Tracking
- ProblemThe status of dispersed field equipment is not visible centrally.
- TechnologySuitable sensor + LoRaWAN® communication infrastructure.
- ArchitectureGateway → Network Server → OSOS Platform Operations Center.
- SolutionThe Alert & Alarm module produces event-based notifications.
- ValueThe field team responds to the issue before going out to the site.
Agricultural Irrigation Metering
- ProblemMetering and reporting of water used in agricultural irrigation.
- TechnologyI‑METS 70 water module, mounted to fit the irrigation line.
- ArchitectureLoRaWAN® → OSOS Platform.
- SolutionRemote consumption tracking and reporting.
- ValueThis is a conceptual area whose scope is limited to irrigation water metering — additional capabilities such as a soil moisture sensor or automatic valve triggering are evaluated on a project basis.
Leak and Environment Monitoring
- ProblemRisks such as a water leak, gas leak or smoke can grow before the field team notices.
- TechnologyLoRaWAN®-compatible water leak, gas and smoke sensors — selected and integrated specifically for the project.
- ArchitectureSensor → LoRaWAN® Gateway → OSOS Platform → Alarm & Event Management module.
- SolutionInstant notification and event logging on threshold breach.
- ValueThis is a conceptual area — the sensor hardware is not a ready-made product in the OSOS catalog; it is sourced and integrated on a project basis.
Remote Energy and Circuit Control
- ProblemSending a team to remotely switch a line or outlet in the field on-site takes time and costs money.
- TechnologyLoRaWAN®-connected smart fuse/circuit-breaker hardware — selected specifically for the project.
- ArchitectureDevice → LoRaWAN® → OSOS Platform → remote command interface.
- SolutionRemote on/off switching of a designated line or outlet.
- ValueThis is a conceptual area — it falls outside the I‑METS product family; hardware is evaluated on a project basis.
Have a need the catalog doesn't cover?
If you need a meter, sensor, electronic device, LoRaWAN communication, gateway, data platform or a custom field application, we can design the right IoT architecture together for your requirement.
