Venues, Retail & Events
IoT for restaurants, cafés, malls and events: social WiFi that captures a verified audience, cloud-scheduled screens, RFID entry with turnstiles, and guard tracking with camera feeds in one control room view.
Venues already have the hardware moments: a guest joining WiFi, a screen on a table, a gate at the door, a guard on a shift. What is missing is the layer that turns each into a record the business can act on and report. That layer, and the hardware fleet around it, is what we build and hand over.
The same connected-systems discipline we apply to revenue, applied to plants, stations, fleets and venues: every stage reads from the same data model.
01
Field I/O, historians, telematics and manual readings land in one data model.
02
Live values, status and KPIs at plant, station and unit level.
03
Rules with duration, quality and cooldown route to the right person.
04
Operators and engineers respond with context, on screen or on mobile.
05
History, comparisons and audit trails for management and compliance.
Supervisory control and operator screens for plants, stations and units: live values, alarms, trends and history in one place operators actually use.
Controller logic, panel integration and commissioning that connects field I/O to the supervisory layer without vendor lock-in.
Sensors and telematics streamed to a secure cloud layer, then rendered as executive dashboards, mobile apps and personal alerts.
Plant data connected to reporting, ERP and analytics through historians and read-only adapters, with the OT network kept isolated.
Delivered systems with the same data-to-decision pattern. Clients are not named.
Cloud WiFi, captive portal, SMS
Happy Hive, Technovier's social WiFi product: guests joined a venue hotspot, verified a phone number on a splash page and got free internet, while the venue built a verified audience. 125,000 portal sessions and 29,000 unique profiles across cafés, restaurants, salons, a mall and a national food festival.
Read the case study →Android and TFT screens, cloud planogram
Tabletop advertising screens built in two hardware variants, installed at three restaurant and mall locations, and driven by a cloud planogram so every unit played the schedule set for its venue.
Read the case study →RFID, turnstiles, radios, cameras, cloud
A security system deployed at physical events: RFID cards and turnstile gates for entry, walkie-talkie coordination and video cameras on the ground, with guard positions and check-ins tracked in a cloud control room.
Read the case study →It can be. The splash page states what is collected and why, verification is by one-time code, and the audience database is per venue with role-based access. Local consent and retention rules are configured per deployment.
Yes. The social WiFi platform ran 41 hotspot networks across cafés, restaurants, salons, a mall and a festival on one system, with each venue seeing its own audience and campaigns.
Usually we work with it. Most projects integrate an existing SCADA or historian into a modern supervisory and reporting layer, and only replace components that are unsupported or unsafe. Replacement is a scoped decision, not a default.
Control networks stay segmented. We read from historians or edge gateways through read-only adapters, publish to a separate cloud layer, and never expose PLCs or SCADA servers directly to the internet. Access is role-based and logged.
Yes, with different views. Operators get HMI screens, alarms and trends; executives get regional and asset KPIs, history and personal alerts on mobile. Both read the same data model, so the numbers agree.
Modbus TCP/RTU, OPC UA, MQTT, common PLC vendor protocols, and historians such as PI and SQL-based time-series stores. Where a protocol is proprietary we work through the vendor's supported interface rather than reverse-engineering it.
