IoT & Connected Operations
Operational visibility, from the sensor to the boardroom.
We generate the operational data your reporting is missing
We deliver secure, reliable and performant Internet of Things projects tailored precisely to your business needs. Our platform ingests strategic data sources such as ERPs and financial systems, and increasingly real-time operational data from sensors. Where that data is missing, GWS generates it by delivering AI-driven IoT solutions.
Our expertise ensures seamless integration, robust data management and actionable insights. Our components are EU certified, the solutions integrate easily with existing building management systems, and the team includes specialists in gateways, analytics and cyber security.
Twelve deployed use cases
What we instrument
Predictive asset maintenance
Wireless, battery-powered sensors on pumps, fans, gearboxes and motors, reading vibration and casing temperature, with machine learning predicting failures from established patterns.
Energy efficiency management
Identify and optimise energy consumption across facilities, cutting operating costs and environmental impact through monitoring and analytics.
Leak detection
Prevent costly damage and conserve resources by detecting leaks in water, gas and chemical supply systems as they start.
Hazard detection
Real-time detection of smoke, fire, gas and chemical hazards, triggering immediate alerts and preventive action.
Air quality monitoring
Indoor and outdoor monitoring that supports environmental health and safety, enabling intervention before conditions affect people or processes.
Temperature and humidity control
Maintain conditions for critical assets and stock in healthcare, food storage and pharmaceutical environments.
Weather and environmental sensors
Accurate, localised environmental data feeding predictive analytics, risk management and operational readiness for weather-sensitive activity.
Presence and occupancy detection
Automate lighting, HVAC and security based on real occupancy, improving comfort, security and energy efficiency at once.
Asset tracking in transportation
Real-time visibility of vehicles and cargo, optimising logistics routes, preventing theft and improving fleet efficiency.
Smart parking management
Real-time tracking of parking capacity that improves utilisation, reduces congestion and improves the experience for drivers.
Urban agriculture optimisation
Sensors monitoring soil quality, moisture and plant health to raise productivity in urban growing environments.
Facility monitoring
People counting, equipment status and environmental conditions consolidated into one operational picture of the building.
The architecture
From the sensor to the board pack
Sensors on the equipment
Wireless, battery-powered and configurable, mounted on critical and non-critical assets including fast rotating equipment such as pumps, fans, gearboxes and motors.
Historian database
Readings stored in a historian, in the cloud or on-premise, according to your data residency obligations.
Machine learning
Predict failures and behaviours based on predefined patterns and reported events.
Two levels of dashboard
A technical dashboard on the control-room screen, phone, tablet or engineer's laptop, and a corporate dashboard where the same data sits alongside business figures.
A direct effect on energy efficiency, safety and your ESG score.
Evolutive, global and performant. Straightforward to deploy, integrating with existing building management systems, delivered by specialists across gateways, analytics and cyber security. Our components are EU certified, and the solutions are value for money.
