Industrial IoT Connectivity Without Limits

Predictive maintenance and remote asset monitoring are becoming the backbone of modern manufacturing. However, reliable connectivity and monitoring remain key challenges - especially in locations without Wi-Fi or GSM coverage. 

Background 

IoTicontrollo is the Italian company which designs and manufactures industrial IoT solutions from concept to production. With in-house expertise in electronics, firmware, mechanics, and cloud integration, the company enables data collection and control for industrial automation, safety, and smart devices.

Challenge 

IoTicontrollo develops connected devices for industrial telemetry, alarm systems, and remote activators. These devices often operate in hard-to-reach environments such as production plants, logistics hubs, and outdoor installations.

The company needed:

  • Reliable, low-power connectivity in areas without GSM or Wi-Fi

  • A scalable and cost-predictable solution for thousands of deployed devices

  • Long-term operation with minimal maintenance and battery replacement

  • Traditional SIM-based solutions were either too costly or lacked the necessary coverage and power efficiency.

1NCE Solution  

IoTicontrollo integrated 1NCE with its LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) projects such as rain counter, beverage dispenser, toys vending machines and so on in which the consumption data is the fundamental monitoring parameter.

1NCE enabled global, multi-bearer connectivity optimized for IoT use cases - combining LTE-M, NB-IoT, and fallback to 2G/3G – with one single payment for device lifetime.

IoTicontrollo can now deploy devices that:

  • Operate autonomously for years on a single battery

  • Transmit telemetry data securely to cloud platforms via MQTT and HTTPS

  • Simplify provisioning and fleet management through 1NCE APIs

Results

  • Up to 40% reduction in connectivity and maintenance costs.

  • Deployment time cut by 60%, thanks to pre-configured SIMs and simplified integration

  • Battery life extended to 10+ years, supporting true low-maintenance operation.

  • Seamless operation in areas with no GSM or Wi-Fi coverage, including industrial zones and rural installations.

“With 1NCE, our projects stay connected everywhere - even in the hard-to-reach areas. The fixed-cost model and global LPWAN support allow us to scale quickly and make sure systems are safe and deliver data remotely.”

— Giancarlo Barbieri, General Manager, IoTicontrollo
