KISTERS Launches KIPTEC for Superior Environmental Monitoring
AACHEN, Germany – KISTERS has introduced an innovative embedded technology that revolutionizes conventional environmental sensors into fully integrated and connected devices. This advancement significantly reduces the need for external logging devices and modems, while accelerating field installation processes. Moreover, it can remarkably lower power consumption by up to 75%.
Unveiling KIPTEC: A Comprehensive Solution
KISTERS proudly presents KIPTEC (KISTERS Intelligence Platform Technology for Embedded Connectivity), a groundbreaking platform that transforms traditional environmental sensors into self-sufficient devices. By eliminating the need for separate loggers, modems, and intricate wiring, KIPTEC considerably shortens installation time and enhances operational efficiency.
Key Features of KIPTEC
The platform enables a seamless integration of all processing, dynamic logging, telemetry, and power management directly within the sensor. This means the sensor operates as a single unit, requiring only a power source for functionality.
Advantages of KIPTEC Technology
KIPTEC at a glance:
- Instant cloud connectivity achieved in under 30 seconds
- Dynamic logging is integrated within the sensor
- Direct transmission of data
- Three components consolidated into one device
- Simple installation: just add power
- Reduction in power consumption of up to 75%
"The market demanded simplicity," stated Anton Felder, Director of KISTERS HydroMet, emphasizing that 93% of monitoring professionals faced challenges related to multi-device setups. KIPTEC addresses these challenges by incorporating connectivity and logging capabilities directly into the sensor itself.
Manufacturing Excellence and Capability
KIPTEC-enabled sensors are manufactured in Germany and boast over 12 months of onboard data storage, event-driven data transmission, and store-and-forward protection to prevent data loss. These sensors intelligently adjust their power usage based on the environmental conditions at the installation site.
Security and Compatibility
The KIPTEC platform supports LTE-Cat-M1/NB-IoT technology, allows for over-the-air updates, and integrates seamlessly with existing systems using protocols such as MQTT, HTTPS, and SFTP. Additionally, robust security features, including end-to-end encryption, ensure compliance with stringent European standards.
Enhancing KISTERS Product Offering
KIPTEC-enabled sensors complement KISTERS' Classic portfolio. Klaas Schulze Dieckhoff, KISTERS Global Head of R&D, shared that these sensors, referred to as 'Edge sensors', are designed for rapid deployment, making them suitable for remote locations and dense networks that operate independently. Meanwhile, Classic models maintain support for infrastructure-based systems with central logging, offering users a wider range of options.
Stay tuned for the launch of the HyQuant Edge in 2026, the first water radar integrating KIPTEC technology. This innovative product is set to further revolutionize monitoring capabilities in various industries.
