Haltian Thingsee platform solution is a one-stop-shop for IoT solutions and digitalization. Over the years, Thingsee has been used for many purposes — some of them quite surprising!
In this post, we’re going to list all (or most) of the use cases our Haltian IoT devices have made a difference to our client’s operations. Many of our customers are secret, but there are many public references as well.
Thingsee PRESENCE – wireless IoT device for occupancy monitoring
Thingsee PRESENCE is a wireless IoT device for measuring people presence through your facility. You can use this sensor for facility management and occupancy detection in various places such as offices, hospitals or restaurants.
Thingsee PRESENCE is being used to monitor people presence in rooms and desks by many of our clients. Empathic Building service is a cool example of what Thingsee PRESENCE can do. This IoT device is also used by our customers Steerpath and Taitori.
Thingsee PRESENCE can be used for visitor counting as well and it can be found in the washrooms of Helsinki-Vantaa airport!
Thingsee COUNT people counter
Thingsee COUNT is a directional people counter for for smart building and smart office applications. The device is installed above a doorway or other passageway from where it detects movement beneath the device and reports the amount of times movement has been detected as well as its direction.
Thingsee ENVIRONMENT – multipurpose IoT device
Thingsee ENVIRONMENT is a multipurpose wireless IoT sensor for all kinds of environment monitoring. It can be used for a variety of business verticals. The possibilities for Thingsee ENVIRONMENT seem to be limitless, but here are some examples of what it can do:
Our partners TietoEVRY and Fingrid use Thingsee ENVIRONMENT for, e.g. temperature and humidity monitoring. It is also used to measure illumination.
Another use case for Thingsee ENVIRONMENT is machine usage monitoring: you can tell if the machine is in use, idle or switched off.
Thingsee ENVIRONMENT RUGGED – IoT device for harsh environments
Thingsee ENVIRONMENT RUGGED is a modified version of the environment sensor. There was a clear need for, e.g. condition and machine usage monitoring in harsh conditions. Possible places to use ENVIRONMENT RUGGED are factories and outdoors.
Our customer Fingrid is using Thingsee ENVIRONMENT RUGGED for temperature monitoring outdoors.
Thingsee BEAM – accurate distance measurement
Thingsee BEAM enables extremely accurate distance measurement all the way up to 4 meters. This wireless battery-powered sensor is an excellent tool for measuring, e.g container or dispenser fill rates. Thingsee BEAM can be used for various facility management and inventory applications, as well as other use cases where accurate distance measurement is needed.
Thingsee ANGLE
Also launched in May, Thingsee ANGLE is a wireless IoT sensor that can be used to measure the angle of any rotational object such as valves. More specifically, it is possible to know the absolute valve’s angle.
Our customer Stora Enso uses Thinsgee ANGLE for monitoring the position of manual hand valves in their mills. Knowing which valves are open or closed is highly important in many places and operations can stop for hours if just one valve is in the wrong position. Read more on the Stora Enso case here.
Thingsee AIR – the wireless air quality sensor
Thingsee AIR is a small, wireless, battery-operated IoT sensor for accurate air quality monitoring. It monitors both CO2 and TVOC levels, making it a perfect IoT sensor for indoor air quality monitoring. In addition, Thingsee AIR monitors the temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and ambient light levels, making it a truly multipurpose smart building IoT device.
Thingsee AIR is used by many of our customers, and it’s used for Empathic Building as well.
If you live in a snowy place, you might be interested to know that Thingsee DISTANCE has been used to measure the bending of a roof during winter time due to the weight of the snow. With that data it’s possible to know when you need to remove the snow, and optimize cleaning cycles and man power.
Thingsee GATEWAY GLOBAL
Thingsee GATEWAY GLOBAL is a plug & play IoT gateway device for large scale IoT solutions. It can be connected anywhere in the world with its LTE Cat M1/NB-IoT and 2G cellular support.
Our gateway is the thing that connects all the sensors, and it is used in almost every use case we have.
Thingsee GATEWAY LAN
Thingsee GATEWAY LAN is the foundation for an on-site edge IoT solution. It is a great on-premises solution that enables edge computing. It is Ethernet connected and USB-C powered.
Right now Thingsee GATEWAY LAN is used paired up with Thingsee ANGLE in valve monitoring.
…and so much more
We have optimized many of our sensors to work in a certain way in particular conditions. In addition, we have made several custom sensors for specific use-cases. These include, for example:
- water level monitoring
- asset tracking
- brake on/off monitoring
- tracking of luggage trolleys
