Libelium transforms its Zaragoza headquarters into a 'smart building' with its IoT platform

Thanks to its technology, based on the monitoring of parameters and physical conditions in real time, the company building is a 'live laboratory' to show clients, partners and visitors the variety of applications it offers.

Control del parking, improvement of the conditions and quality of environmental conditions, of the water, etc. These are some of the applications that the Spanish company Libelium has operational at its headquarters in Zaragoza.; a building connected through its IoT platform, which allows the monitoring of different parameters and conditions in real time and which has become a 'live laboratory' to show partners and clients the vertical applications of IoT technology.

In this sense, the Libelium smart building in Zaragoza offers real-time information on the levels of environmental and noise pollution in the surrounding area, as well as the environmental conditions inside, water quality, waste management, etc.

As David Gascón explains, Libelium engineering director, “With this project we wanted to convert our headquarters into a smart building to clearly and simply explain how our technology works and also all the solutions that can be implemented on the market quickly and reliably”.

The installation consists of eight Waspmote Plug sensor platforms & Sense! conectadas al Meshlium IoT Gateway, which is located in the IoT showroom area inside the building.

The Waspmote Plug luminosity sensor has been installed outside. & Sense! Ambient Control to control the intensity of sunlight, as well as the so-called Smart Cities, from this same range, to monitor noise levels and control noise pollution, since the offices are located in an industrial area.

To measure pollution levels, there are O3 Smart Environment Pro sensors., CO, SO2 and NO2, as well as with material integrated with the dust sensor, which also facilitates the control of climatic conditions such as temperature, humidity and external pressure.

In the parking area there are the Waspmote Plug sensors & Sense! Smart Parking, that detect available and occupied spaces so that the user can see it with the LED illuminators, while Smart Agriculture is used to control soil conditions, and for ambient conditions WS-300 (rain gauge, wind speed and direction).

PMeanwhile, Smart Water sensors have been deployed inside the Libelium building, to measure water parameters, in addition to guaranteeing the quality of the pond located at the reception with ph sensors, connectivity, oxidation potential, temperature, etc.

The production area has Smart Cities sensors to control waste management in the main container with the ultrasound sensor. The platform installed in the warehouse allows information to be collected through Waspmote Plug & Sense! Smart Parking and send it via LoRaWan to the base station.

The seven deployed sensor platforms communicate with the IoT Gateway via 802.15.4, and all information is displayed on a display platform, also developed by this company, which is located in the Libelium showroom.

Showroom IoT

On the occasion of Libelium's tenth anniversary, One of the initiatives was to create an IoT showroom at its headquarters, which is divided into several areas in which the company's international strategy is shown and explained, its value chain and commitment to interoperability, among other things.

This space “arose from the need to integrate the three hallmarks of Libelium in a single space.: interoperability, internationalization and a great ecosystem”, Alicia Asín points out, CEO of the company.

Libelium indicates, through a large map, the distributors and main partners with which it works in real time and also the most relevant case studies that it has carried out in visual panels.

At a glance, visitors, partners and clients can verify the company's great presence in more than 120 countries and the different projects that the company has carried out since 2016.

In this IoT showroom, The main vertical sectors in which the company operates are also shown: environment, agua, agriculture, cities, parking, logistics, industry 4.0, commerce and eHealth, as well as its three product lines: Waspmote OEM, Waspmote Plug & Sense! y Meshlium IoT Gateway.
