How it works
From a sensor in the field to the screen your facilities team uses.
One accountable team for the sensors, the LoRaWAN network and the software — integrated with the systems you already run.
01 · Sense
Sensors in the field
Battery-powered LoRaWAN sensors on rivers, buildings, tanks and streets — chosen for each reading.
02 · Connect
LoRaWAN and cellular
LoRaWAN gateways for battery sensors and wide sites, IoT SIMs for devices that move or send more data — chosen per device.
03 · Process
EdgeKinect Core
Runs on the site gateway: every reading decoded, normalized and routed to the systems that need it.
04 · Act
Your dashboards & systems
Dashboards, rules and alerts in EdgeKinect Vision — our cloud or self-hosted — and the same data in SCADA, historians or the cloud.
The challenge
What holds schools back.
- 01
How do you ensure proper ventilation in classrooms?
CO2 levels above 1000ppm significantly impact cognitive function and learning ability. Our sensors continuously monitor CO2 and automatically trigger ventilation systems when levels rise.
- 02
Can you track room utilization across campus?
Yes, our occupancy sensors provide real-time and historical data on room usage, helping you optimize space allocation and identify underutilized areas.
- 03
How do you handle emergency situations?
Our system provides real-time occupancy data to first responders, tracks door status, and can integrate with fire and security systems for comprehensive emergency management.
- 04
What about data privacy for students?
Our sensors count occupancy without identifying individuals. No cameras or biometric data are used. All data is encrypted and stored securely.
- 05
How difficult is installation in existing buildings?
Our LoRaWAN sensors are wireless and battery-powered, requiring no new wiring. Most classrooms can be outfitted in under 30 minutes with minimal disruption.
- 06
How does vape detection work in washrooms?
Our discreet vape detection sensors instantly identify THC, nicotine, and other vaping substances. When detected, administrators receive immediate alerts with location details, enabling quick intervention while maintaining student privacy.
- 07
Can you prevent students from loitering in washrooms during class?
Yes, our washroom occupancy counters track the number of students present without identifying individuals. Alerts are sent when occupancy exceeds normal levels during class time, helping staff address potential issues like vaping, bullying, or truancy.
The outcome
What changes once it’s running.
- 01
Healthier Students
Proper air quality and ventilation reduces illness and improves cognitive performance.
- 02
Energy Savings
Automated HVAC control based on occupancy cuts energy waste and reduces utility bills significantly.
- 03
Prevented Water Damage
Early leak detection prevents costly repairs and protects valuable educational resources and equipment.
- 04
Compliance Ready
Automatically generate reports for indoor air quality standards and building code compliance.
- 05
Vape-Free Washrooms
Instant detection and alerts help enforce no-vaping policies and create safer, healthier spaces for all students.

FAQ
Questions about smart schools, answered.
What buyers ask us most about sensors, coverage and integration.
A discreet ceiling sensor detects vape and smoke particles and sends an alert to the staff you choose within seconds. It has no camera or microphone, and tamper alerts flag anyone trying to cover or remove it.
