Our partner, TIUS LLC, has successfully implemented a LoRaWAN data transmission network infrastructure project at one of the client’s sites, leveraging its expertise and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies. As part of the project, to ensure stable system operation, base stations manufactured by us were deployed. The rollout of the LoRaWAN wireless network has enabled the client to establish reliable connectivity for devices within its Electronic Key-Tag System (EKTS) across the entire site, while also laying the foundation for planning and implementing additional IIoT initiatives.
Main Tasks:
- Ensure authorized access only to equipment within the implemented Electronic Key-Tag System (EKTS), using the LoRaWAN wireless data transmission network.
- Provide full-site wireless network coverage across the Severstal-Metiz facility (Cherepovets) to enable future EKTS scalability and implementation of additional IIoT use cases.
 
        Prior to project implementation, a comprehensive set of preparatory activities was carried out. Using test kits, a temporary LoRaWAN network was deployed and field trials were conducted. Based on the results, final documentation was prepared, including signal coverage maps for each workshop of the facility. This enabled the identification of optimal base station locations and the required number of units, taking into account hard-to-reach areas.
In addition, detailed infrastructure design was performed, incorporating all technical requirements and site-specific constraints. This ensured network scalability and reliability, laying the groundwork for future functional expansion and seamless integration with the client’s other systems.
Work Completed:
- A full-site radio survey was conducted to determine the required number of LoRaWAN base stations and their optimal installation locations.
- Network design was finalized, and a comprehensive report was delivered, including detailed LoRaWAN signal coverage maps for each workshop.
- Base stations were installed, and commissioning activities were carried out to bring the system online.
- The LoRaWAN network was configured and tested; warranty acceptance tests were successfully passed.
Project results:
- A LoRaWAN network infrastructure comprising six base stations was deployed, ensuring full-site coverage and enabling solution implementation in previously unreachable areas.
- A LoRaWAN network infrastructure comprising six base stations was deployed, ensuring full-site coverage and enabling solution implementation in previously unreachable areas.
- The implemented system provides efficient control over equipment shared by multiple workers per shift (e.g., overhead cranes and machines in the Repair & Maintenance Shop), improving accuracy in access rights allocation.
- As a result, enterprise safety levels have been enhanced, risks of unauthorized equipment activation minimized, and production process management made more efficient.
