The benefits of LoRaWAN: long range, autonomy, savings
LoRaWAN® (Long Range Wide Area Network) technology is revolutionizing the way data loggers transmit the environmental data they are responsible for collecting. A product of the IoT (Internet of Things), LoRaWAN enables data to be transmitted over very long distances, up to several kilometers in open space, without the need for a complex communications infrastructure.
LoRaWAN® data loggers are therefore the perfect solution to the problems posed by:
- dense urban areas, where buildings can interfere with the signals,
- extensive industrial sites, where the installation of cabling or network relays is costly,
- multi-site environments, spread over different geographical areas.
The other key advantage of LoRaWAN® technology is its extremely low energy consumption. This energy efficiency means that Dickson data loggers can be powered by the same battery for several years without intervention, even if data is transmitted frequently. This long autonomy is particularly valuable for:
- installations that are difficult to access, such as high-rise warehouses or isolated technical rooms,
- multi-site deployments, where frequent battery replacement is costly and restrictive,
- service continuity in critical environments, with no risk of data loss due to power failure.
This combination of extended range and high autonomy also means lower installation and maintenance costs. There’s no need to multiply the number of access points, and no need to intervene regularly to recharge or replace batteries: LoRaWAN® data loggers offer a cost-effective, robust, long-term solution that’s perfectly suited to the requirements of modern industries
Seamless integration with DicksonOne and OCEAView monitoring solutions
Our LoRaWAN® data loggers integrate natively with DicksonOne and OCEAView cloud platforms, the control centres of your environmental monitoring solution. This software enables you to :
- Visualize temperature, humidity and other critical parameters required to protect your assets in real time.
- Manage smart alerts configured to your requirements and sent automatically by phone call, SMS or e-mail in the event of a technical anomaly or threshold exceedance.
- Centralize multi-site data, with customizable dashboards and AI-enhanced predictive analysis.
- Generate audit reports that comply with the most stringent regulatory requirements in the industry.
Secure access to data from any connected terminal facilitates remote supervision, while guaranteeing the traceability and integrity of the information collected.
For logistical or regulatory requirements, DicksonOne and OCEAView can also be installed on site.
In addition to its LoRaWAN connectivity, the Cobalt X data logger can also communicate via Bluetooth, making it the essential link in a complete monitoring installation combining the Emerald and Atlas Bluetooth temperature loggers and the OCEAView software solution.
Compliance: the watchword for all Dickson surveillance solutions
In sensitive environments, compliance is not an option: it’s a requirement. That’s why, for more than 10 years, Dickson has placed regulatory compliance at the heart of the design and validation of all its monitoring solutions. From data loggers and sensors to calibration and software platforms, each component is designed and configured to guarantee the reliability, traceability and integrity of the data collected.
One of the pillars of this rigour is our calibration laboratory, accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 / A2LA standards (NIST traceable). Thanks to this in-house laboratory, Dickson offers traceable calibration for all of its sensors (temperature, humidity, pressure, CO₂, etc.), ensuring that you receive accurate and verifiable data. In addition, the exclusive Smart-Sensors technology allows you to replace your sensors quickly and reliably, without interrupting readings and with the guarantee that your calibration parameters, embedded in the memory built into these smart sensors, remain perfectly compliant.
Multi-dimensional compliance
Dickson solutions are designed to meet the regulatory requirements of the most controlled sectors, including:
- Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP),
- the requirements of FDA 21 CFR Part 11,
- the GxP standards covering good practice in laboratories and pharmaceutical production,
- the HACCP standards for food safety,
- the requirements of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) in the United States.
This multi-dimensional compliance means that our customers can deploy our solutions with complete confidence, whether in:
- a pharmaceutical laboratory, where any variation in temperature can compromise the stability of a product or component;
- a hospital, where traceability of storage conditions for vaccines and biological samples is crucial to patient health;
- a food company, subject to strict quality controls at every stage of production;
- any other industry requiring reliable, compliant monitoring of temperature, humidity or other environmental parameters.
By choosing Dickson LoRaWAN data loggers, you can rely on proven, auditable technology that is ready for use in regulated environments, with the assurance of rigorous, personalized technical support
