Together with our customer PortaNet AG from Emmen, we at soXes GmbH have developed a digitalized measuring and information system for windows, doors and gates. Now, windows and doors can be digitized very easily; with a complete cloud solution based on the low-power/wide-area technology.
MyPortaNet automatically measures, controls and administrates the complete usage process with information, fault reports and maintenance activities. If a service is due or if a door is open which should be closed, the system automatically signals the status or service requirement. Derived from the measured data in real time, service orders or fault messages, for example, are automatically triggered. This digital measurement data thus helps companies (but also private individuals) in particular to improve their processes, to put together targeted services for their customers, to reduce costs and save time, to optimise repairs and maintenance of doors and windows and, last but not least, to increase security.
PortaNet recognized the pulse of time early on: The earlier you jump on the bandwagon of digitalisation, the more interesting your own competitive advantages and those of your customers will be. Soon the idea and vision was there to automatically control and administrate the complete usage process of doors and windows with information, fault reports and maintenance activities thanks to the new possibilities of IoT (Internet of Things). Because the Internet of Things opens up completely new possibilities and added value for users in this area as well.

But how to implement IoT successfully? The best way is to work with a reliable partner who has the necessary experience and know-how to successfully implement the digital part.
For the technical implementation, PortaNet was looking for a suitable software development company that could successfully accompany the project from the conception and business analysis to the IT architecture and implementation and provide long-term maintenance. Today the former vision has become reality! Thanks to the close cooperation of all parties involved, the project could be successfully implemented within the desired time, quality and budget framework.
Possible areas of application are very diverse, for example:
- Building security is increased because broken or accidentally open windows and doors are reported early (preventive maintenance).
- Information on the condition and (wear and tear) of building components can be collected.
- Inspection tours (during the day, but also especially at night or late in the evening) can be significantly minimized.
- Heating costs can be reduced, as open windows are quickly detected.
- The schedule for cleaning the toilets or meeting rooms can be adjusted according to the use of these.
