Industrial IoT for Manufacturing
LoRaWAN sensors, gateways and dashboards for Manufacturing — specified, stocked and supported by UK engineers.
Industrial IoT for Manufacturing replaces manual rounds, spreadsheets and blind spots with live LoRaWAN telemetry: low-power sensors, resilient gateways and dashboards that flag a problem the hour it happens, not the week after. Indiott specifies, stocks and supports the full stack and ships across the UK from local warehouses.
UK manufacturing is a £217bn output sector employing around 2.6 million people, concentrated in the North West, Midlands and South East, with food, transport equipment and pharmaceuticals among its largest sub-sectors. Persistent energy costs, ageing plant and thin engineering headcount push factories toward condition monitoring and energy visibility rather than reactive maintenance. Wireless sensing lets sites instrument old machines and metering points without rewiring or stopping a line.
Industrial IoT for Manufacturing: sensors, gateways and dashboards
Built for Plant and operations managers, Maintenance and reliability engineers, Energy and sustainability managers, OT and controls engineers and Health and safety leads. Every asset that fails quietly — a pump, a chiller, a cold store, a plant room — is a candidate for a battery LoRaWAN sensor reporting to one dashboard. Typical Industrial IoT for Manufacturing deployments include:
- Clamp-on current and vibration sensors for predictive maintenance on legacy plant
- Compressed air and energy sub-metering to cut utility waste
- Ambient temperature and humidity control across production halls
- Process and cold-store temperature logging for quality records
- Door, occupancy and asset tracking across large multi-bay sites
- OT network segmentation and monitoring for factory cybersecurity
LoRaWAN sensors and gateways for Manufacturing
The Industrial IoT for Manufacturing hardware below is UK-stocked and dispatched nationwide. Every device joins the same five-layer stack, so you can start with one gateway and a handful of sensors and scale without re-platforming.
UG65Semi-industrial LoRaWAN gateway8-channel indoor gateway backhauling hundreds of LoRaWAN sensors over Ethernet, Wi-Fi or cellular.
UR35Industrial cellular routerDual-SIM 4G/5G router for resilient connectivity at remote and mobile sites.

AM103Indoor air-quality sensorCO2, temperature and humidity in one LoRaWAN sensor for offices, wards and plant rooms.
Compliance and drivers in Manufacturing
The Health and Safety Executive enforces the Health and Safety at Work Act through the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) for machinery, LOLER for lifting and DSEAR for explosive atmospheres. Larger firms report energy and emissions under Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) and many certify to ISO 50001 for energy management. New machinery placed on the market needs UKCA marking and a Declaration of Conformity.
Indiott builds the monitoring and evidence layer around those duties: continuous data, threshold alarms that reach the duty engineer by SMS, and timestamped records you can hand to an auditor.

Why Manufacturing teams choose Indiott
Here is why manufacturing operators pick Indiott as their Industrial IoT for Manufacturing partner rather than a generic reseller.
UK stock, UK delivery
Milesight, Atop and AquaIoT hardware supplied from the UK, typically dispatched within 14 working days nationwide.
Engineer-led, not box-shifting
An engineer scopes every enquiry and returns a costed bill of materials within one working day.
One stack, many brands
Interoperable sense, connect, secure, control and manage layers, so you are never locked to a single vendor.
Bespoke when off-the-shelf ends
When the device you need does not exist, we design and build it — firmware, enclosure and integration.
Industrial IoT for Manufacturing: frequently asked questions
Can we monitor old machines without rewiring or downtime?
Yes. Clamp-on current sensors and battery vibration and temperature nodes fit to existing plant while it runs, so you get condition data without a shutdown or a control-system change.
Will factory steel and racking block the wireless signal?
LoRaWAN is robust in industrial settings and we survey the site to place gateways correctly. Where a hall is dense with steel we add a second gateway rather than fight the physics.
How do you keep OT and IoT separate for security?
We keep sensing on its own LoRaWAN network off the control system and can segment and monitor the OT side separately, which suits sites working to IEC 62443 principles.
