Industrial sensors from WIKA, ready to use out of the box
At Thinger.io we keep expanding our ecosystem of industrial devices that are ready to use out of the box through the Thinger.io Marketplace.
The goal is simple: allow you to connect real industrial sensors to Thinger.io with as little effort as possible, leveraging four things the platform already brings.
Dedicated plugins
Automatic device provisioning
Preconfigured data buckets
Dashboards from the first minutes
About WIKA
Ready for the future with “Smart in sensing”
WIKA is a global reference in industrial instrumentation, with a portfolio that includes pressure, temperature, level, flow and more.
Their devices are commonly used in:
- Process industries (oil & gas, chemical, petrochemical)
- Water and wastewater
- Power generation
- Machinery and critical infrastructure
Over the last years, WIKA has been bringing this field experience into the Industrial IoT domain by adding low-power wireless connectivity (Bluetooth®, NFC, wireless modules, etc.) to traditional field instruments. This combination makes it easier to enable centralized remote monitoring and predictive maintenance on top of existing processes.
The integrations
Three building blocks you can use in real projects
In this first phase, the WIKA–Thinger.io integration lands with three concrete building blocks.
PEW-1000
PGW-23-100
NETRIS®2
For each device you will find below a short overview of typical applications, the basic integration requirements, and what Thinger.io configures for you out of the box, so you can see how it fits your use case.
WIKA PEW-1000
Wireless pressure sensor with Bluetooth®
The PEW-1000 is a compact sensor designed to measure pressure and temperature in gases and liquids, while transmitting data wirelessly with very low power consumption.
Typical applications
- Water distribution and irrigation networks
- Storage tanks and reservoirs
- Process lines that need remote supervision
- Outdoor or harsh industrial environments
Basic requirements
To integrate the PEW-1000 with Thinger.io you will need:
- A compatible network setup to receive the device's telemetry (for example via a LoRa® or similar backend, depending on how you deploy the device)
- The WIKA PEW-1000 plugin installed from the Thinger.io Marketplace
- Device parameters configured using WIKA's tools (including Bluetooth® for local commissioning)
Plugin available from version 6.5.10-beta onwards
Once the network is in place and the plugin is installed
- PEW-1000 devices are auto-provisioned in Thinger.io as soon as their first messages arrive
- The platform automatically creates the device, the data buckets, and a basic dashboard with pressure, temperature and battery status already mapped
- Downlinks from Thinger.io adjust sampling and reporting intervals, alarm thresholds or perform configuration resets
Installed from the console
The PEW-1000 as the Marketplace catalogue shows it. The tile opens the plugin's page.
WIKA PGW-23-100
Hybrid pressure gauge with telemetry
The PGW-23-100 combines a traditional Bourdon tube pressure gauge with a digital telemetry module.
It is ideal when you still need to see the needle on site, but you also want the data to flow into an IIoT platform.
Typical applications
- Processes where plant operators require an immediate local reading
- Critical pressure points in chemical, power or water facilities
- Distributed assets where regular manual readings are costly
Basic requirements
To connect the PGW-23-100 with Thinger.io you will need:
- A compatible network infrastructure to transport telemetry to Thinger.io
- The WIKA PGW-23-100 plugin installed from the Marketplace
- Device commissioning using WIKA's tools (including NFC for configuration and key management, depending on the model)
Just like with the PEW-1000
- The plugin handles payload decoding and automatic provisioning of new devices
- Thinger.io creates dedicated buckets for pressure, temperature, battery level and diagnostic parameters
- A preconfigured dashboard is deployed with the most relevant variables
- From Thinger.io you can send downlinks to change reporting intervals, alarm thresholds, hysteresis values or perform resets
Installed from the console
WIKA NETRIS®2
LoRa® radio unit for 4–20 mA signals
Beyond the two devices above, Thinger.io is also working on the integration of NETRIS®2, an IIoT radio unit that allows you to connect instruments with 4…20 mA outputs and forward their data to the cloud.
NETRIS®2 reads the analog signals from existing transmitters (pressure, level, flow, temperature, etc.) and sends them wirelessly over long distances with low power consumption, supporting deployment in demanding industrial environments.
Typical applications
- Remote monitoring of existing equipment and process lines
- Digitalization of plants with a large installed base of analog instrumentation
- Predictive maintenance and asset monitoring projects in oil & gas, chemical plants, water utilities and power generation
Planned requirements
The integration with Thinger.io will follow the same pattern as the other WIKA devices:
- A network backend to carry NETRIS®2 telemetry into Thinger.io
- A dedicated plugin in the Thinger.io Marketplace
Integration in progress
What the plugin will take care of
- Decode NETRIS®2 payloads
- Manage automatic provisioning of radio units
- Create data buckets for each 4…20 mA channel
- Deploy a default dashboard with the main signals and diagnostic variables
