About our client
Norske Redningshunder, often abbreviated as NRH, is the Norwegian term for “Norwegian Search and Rescue Dogs”. NRH is a prominent and respected organization in Norway that focuses on training and deploying search and rescue dogs and their handlers to assist in various emergency situations.
Norske Redningshunder was founded in 1964 as a non-profit organization. It has grown significantly over the years and plays a crucial role in search and rescue efforts in Norway.

Norske Redningshunder has a reputation for excellence in search and rescue, and its teams have been involved in international relief efforts. NRH has taken a part in many rescue missions not only in Norway, but also contributed their expertise and experience to save lives in other countries.
PROBLEM TO SOLVE / TASK
During rescue missions the dogs spend much of their time in cars. The dog handlers were looking for a system that would allow them to constantly monitor the environmental conditions in parked vehicles to make sure that the dogs are not harmed by extremely high or low temperatures.
It was important for them to be notified, if the temperature in the car goes beyond specified range.
Norske Redningshunder was looking for a temperature monitoring system in rescue vehicles.
It was important for them to be notified, if the conditions in a parked car go beyond defined threshold.
SOLUTION
BRE Digital, Efento’s partner in Norway, proposed a solution based on NB-IoT loggers and Efento Cloud platform.
The loggers are equipped with SIM cards and send the data at set intervals utilising NB-IoT network – a power consumption optimised technology, perfect for wireless sensors. Thanks to this, the devices may operate on batteries for a few years. Moreover, the technology allows the devices to operate in places with poor signal coverage.
Measurements taken by the Efento NB-IoT loggers is transferred to Efento Cloud – a cloud platform that collects the sensor data and allows users to visualise it, react on the temperature changes and generate reports from selected time periods. Platform’s architecture provides quick scalability, security and safety of the data. The platform is updated and monitored by Efento team, what gives the customers and users peace of mind. The data is constantly backed up in a data centre in a different geographical location than the main servers, to ensure that it will always be available for the customers.

The key benefits from implementing the temperature monitoring system include:
- Remote access to the measurements – users can access the temperature measurements through a web panel or with a free Efento mobile application.
- Notifications – when the defined alarm thresholds are exceeded, notifications are sent via e-mail, SMS or as a push message in the mobile application.
- Long maintenance free operations – batteries ensure up to a few years of maintenance free operation
- Remote configuration – sensor’s configuration can be changed remotely from the cloud platform
