Food & agriculture
The most important changes introduced in the recent update of Efento Logger is the ability to generate and display reports with statistics useful for viticulture. After installing the latest version of the Efento Logger, the user will be able to quickly and conveniently determine the length of the growing season, the Huglin Index, the Cool Night Index, as well as the SAT and GDDC values.
Learn about legal requirements on environmental conditions in meat processing facilities: butcher's shops, slaughterhouses, during transpiration and at the point of sale
Healthcare & pharma
Detailed information about Efento Cloud's features, security, data storage and compliance with GxP (Good Manufacturing Practice, Good Distribution Practice and Good Laboratory Practice).
The recently developed mRNA based COVID-19 vaccines need to be stored in freezing -80 to -30 °C. Learn more about the challenges related to that and which Efento products will help you to monitor extreme temperature ranges
The Mean Kinetic Temperature (MKT) is a parameter that allows you to evaluate the effects of temperature changes on the vaccine or drug quality. In case of temporary exceeding of storage temperature limits, it can be determinant of the usefulness of the drug. Mean Kinetic Temperature is important both in the preparation of facilities for storage and distribution, as well as during their operation.
Calibration is a comparison of the indications of the measuring instrument (thermometer, hygrometer or any other sensor) with the indications of the very precise laboratory device. Calibration is done in accordance to national or global standards by accredited laboratories. In this article you will learn more about the calibration process, norms and calibration certificates.
The basic principle of epidemiological safety in hospitals, laboratories and dissectors is to ensure proper air circulation. The design rules for such systems are very precise and provide appropriate standards. From this article you will learn more how to monitor the air flow in the hospitals by controlling the difference of pressure between the rooms.
Integrations
In this tutorial we will show how to connect and configure Efento NB-IoT logger with a pressure transducer. The same algorithm can be applied to any other type of 4-20 mA sensor
This tutorial will show you how to configure Efento sensors with the Daizy platform. Place Efento devices in your project, generate installation tasks, pair with a SIM and securely connect to the platform. Daizy enables enterprises to scale IoT deployments and easily consume data via webhook, MQTT, REST API or a range of other integrations.
In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to parse the data sent by Efento sensors in Bluetooth Low Energy advertisement frames.
This quick tutorial will show you how to configure Efento sensors with IoTCreators.com. IoT Creators provides connectivity (powered by Deutsche Telekom) and a server platform that receives the data from IoT devices over any of the popular IoT protocols, translates it to REST messages and pushes it to any third party application.
In this example we are going to write a Python script that will set up a CoAP server, listen to the messages from Efento NB-IoT sensors, parse them and save in a PostgreSQL database. We will also add a two way communication and send messages to the sensor.
Efento CoAP loader receives the data from Efento NB-IoT sensors over CoAP protocol and forwards it to your application using REST API. It can also be used to remotely configure the sensors. Learn how to integrate Efento NB-IoT sensors to your platform using the CoAP loader.
From this tutorial you will learn how to set up a simple Flask based Python server, which receives the data from Efento Gateway and saves it in PostreSQL database
Learn how to set up Efento NB-IoT sensors to send the data to your ThingsBoard instance
Internet of Things
Due to the low overhead and connectionless approach CoAP protocol meets all the requirements of battery powered IoT devices. Learn more what are the key differences and why CoAP should be the protocol of choice when designing an NB-IoT device.
In this article you will find answers to the frequently answered questions about SIM cards for NB-IoT devices offered by Efento
Learn more about Efento pulse counters. How they work, how to connect them, what do they measure, how to export the data and what are the most popular use cases
Learn more about CoAP protocol and Protobuf method of serialising structured data. Both CoAP and Protobuf are used by Efento sensors in order to optimise the communication with servers and increase the battery lifetime.
Learn how Efento devices perform over the air software updates based on sending only the changes in software to the already-deployed devices.
Connecting “Things” to the network and enabling them to collect and exchange data allows to significantly improve existing processes and create completely new business models. In this article we present the most popular wireless communication standards along with their advantages and disadvantages
In this article we present the most popular LPWAN communication technologies used in the IoT devices: LoRa, NB-IoT, Sigfox and LTE-M. We also present the differences between them and their advantages and disadvantages and the most popular use cases of each technology
Museums
Control of environmental conditions in historic buildings, museums and galleries is necessary to maintain optimal temperatures and humidity. In this way, you can slow down or even prevent their self-destruction. Learn more how to choose the best conditions for each type of the building and materials stored in it.
