100% own design
With an install base of 50,000 sensors, we have a proven track record. Factorylab is a European manufacturer of sensors for the built environment and industry. We believe in chain co-operation and always seek collaboration with parties that have an application to optimally process, visualise and monitor the data from our sensors.
-
We measure data
We measure parameters in the areas of drinking and process water, indoor environment, workplace, energy and industry (predictive maintenance). -
We send data
We specialise in radio technology and LoRaWAN. We programme gateways and can advise on their installation. -
We prepare data
Data can be delivered directly into a proprietary database but can also be easily accessed via a REST API.
Commercial and technical support
We design our sensors with in-house hardware and software engineers. Whatever your challenge, we are guaranteed to solve it. Discover our attractive partner agreements that allow us to support you commercially and technically.

The most frequently asked questions about our sensors
Do you have questions about our products or capabilities? We are happy to help you with any information about our sensors. If your question is not among the most frequently asked questions, please contact us or schedule a call directly.
-
A sensor measures a quantity and then transmits the information. Sending a message consumes more power than measuring it. Depending on exactly which sensor you have, most batteries will last at least 1-3 years.
-
Yes, we develop about a dozen custom-made sensors every year. Contact us to discover the possibilities!
-
We mainly use the LoRaWAN protocol, but sometimes also other protocols such as 4G, sigfox and NB-IoT.
-
The LoRaWAN network protocol is based on the LoRa technology developed by Semtech. The Netherlands has a nationwide LoRa IoT network, operated by KPN. In the UK there is no nationwide LoRa network, so at this moment in the UK a gateway is required to use our LoRa sensors.
Compared to 5G or Wi-Fi, LoRaWAN is more economical to connect sensors to this network due to lower energy and connection costs. -
A private gateway can be used to create a private network. A gateway is similar to a Wi-Fi access point and has a range of 10 kilometres. Because you have the gateway itself, the data has to travel less distance. Among other things, this is beneficial for your battery life. In the UK a gateway is required to use our LoRa sensors. In the NL the nationwide LoRa network of KPN can be used.
