Chester IoT Platform

Solution overview

Our main product, called CHESTER, is designed to address the problem of connecting machines that lack smart connectivity to capture important production or environmental data. CHESTER is a flexible IoT gateway that supports multiple IoT wireless connectivity options, including LoRaWAN for both local and public networks, as well as LTE-M and NB-IoT for public network connections. It is designed for fast deployment due to its flexible hardware, which can be easily set up for specific use-cases without requiring extensive hardware modifications. CHESTER can be powered by either batteries or an external power supply, making it suitable for locations without access to a power source. Additionally, it is covered by IP67 protection, ensuring its safety and durability in industrial environments.

Key features

Open-source approach with a flexible design to provide a platform rather than a specific solution. Highly optimized for low power consumption, capable of operating for years on battery.

Integration and adaptability in manufacturing environments

As we are providing a platform, the integration is very simple. We focus on easy integration in specific use cases and still keep the flexibility of the whole platform. You can use one device for hundreds of different tasks. It simplifies both integration and maintenance. We are aware of industrial standards and we are providing connectors for common technologies protocols/interfaces to make the integration as simple as possible. Our customers can connect the data from the devices directly to their software systems or they can use our cloud to simplify the integration with their systems through intuitive API connection. Devices can work on private/public LoRaWAN or public cellular LPWAN networks (LTE-M/NB-IoT). It simplifies the connection in the factory because it is not necessary to build some additional infrastructure to start grabbing data.

Implementation support and training for manufacturers

Certainly! Here`s the revised text: Yes, we provide our solution with an open-source SDK (based on the Zephyr operating system) and detailed documentation. We also offer training courses for our clients and integration partners. Thanks to our role as the solution`s designers and producers, our team has all the necessary knowledge to support customers with any specific questions. Additionally, our devices support remote over-the-air firmware updates, making future device function updates easy.

Sustainability, compliance and certifications in the EU

Yes. Our devices meet all the requirements of the EU market (CE, RED, RoHS), some devices also comply to the requirements of the U.S. market (FCC). Our devices have been certified by recognized laboratories.
