The model NETRIS^®1 is a WIKA radio unit to which standard sensors can be connected in order to bring the measured data wirelessly to a cloud for big-data analysis. It uses the licence-free LoRaWAN^® and Bluetooth^® radio standards and is used, for example, on mobile equipment and remote measuring points. Thanks to intelligent measurement and transmission control and a replaceable battery, the radio unit can be operated over a long battery life.

The radio unit receives the data via connected measuring instruments with a standard signal of 0 ... 10 V or 4 ... 20 mA or an RTD in accordance with the Pt100/Pt1000 standard in 2- or 3-wire technology. The fully encapsulated instrument with IP65 ingress protection transmits the received data continuously to a cloud via configurable data packets with LoRaWAN^® or Bluetooth^®.

Battery-operated radio transmission via LoRaWAN^® („longrange wide area network“) is based on LPWAN technology (“low power wide area network”) to enable high transmission ranges and long battery life. A version made of stainless steel is available for applications with harsh ambient conditions.

The simple web configuration via the cloud and the LoRaWAN^® network enables the complete end-to-end encryption with bidirectional communication for safe IIoT applications.

Thanks to the compatibility with numerous WIKA measuring instruments and the two available radio standards, LoRaWAN^® for the kilometre range and Bluetooth^® for the metre range, the radio unit can be flexibly configured. Configurationis possible via the cloud as well as on-site using Bluetooth^® and the “myWIKA wireless device” app.

The WIKA radio unit NETRIS^®1 is part of the WIKA IIoT solution. With this, WIKA offers a holistic solution for your digitalisation strategy.
