What heliotics does

Heliotics is a European industrial IoT startup, headquartered in Dubnica nad Váhom (Slovakia) and serving customers across the EU market, that sells plug-and-play wireless LPWAN sensors combined with a unified cloud/on-premise software platform called Heliotics CORE. The company targets industrial manufacturers and adjacent facilities (factories, warehouses, specialized facilities such as museums) that require real-time visibility into production, environment, energy, material levels, and equipment condition but lack the IT resources or appetite for traditional SCADA/IIoT deployments.

The product architecture consists of battery-powered wireless sensors (energy clamp, environmental/air-quality, material/level, and vibration/condition) feeding data into the Heliotics CORE platform, which provides customizable dashboards, real-time alerts, Digital Andon workflows, layout/zone heatmaps, and multi-network LPWAN support (including LoRaWAN and Helium integrations). The company emphasizes a deployment model that takes facilities from unboxing to live dashboards in approximately two hours, with no cabling, IT-project overhead, or installation downtime required, and offers an API for third-party data export and integration.

Heliotics pursues a product-led growth go-to-market in which SMEs can self-install sensors without IT support while larger enterprises are routed to a "Book Free Call" consultation funnel; published customer outcomes include €46K in energy-cost reduction, 13% unplanned-downtime reduction, 29 hours of manpower savings, and 96% incident-detection coverage. Revenue mechanics combine one-time hardware sensor sales with a recurring software subscription for the CORE platform. The company was founded in 2022, operates with 1–10 employees, and lists CEO and founder Miroslav Macko as its named executive.

Core offering

Heliotics sells plug-and-play wireless LPWAN sensors for industrial energy, environmental, material level, and vibration monitoring, paired with its Heliotics CORE software platform that unifies sensor data into real-time dashboards, alerts and analytics. The combined hardware-plus-software solution targets factories, warehouses, and specialized facilities and is deployed without cables, IT projects, or downtime, with first sensors reporting in under two hours.

Product overview

Heliotics offers a unified industrial IoT monitoring platform combining wireless plug-and-play LPWAN sensors with the Heliotics CORE software platform. The portfolio includes four specialized monitoring solutions: Energy Monitoring (non-invasive clamp sensors for consumption tracking), Environmental & Air-Quality Monitoring (temperature, humidity, CO2, VOCs, gases), Material, Level & Waste Monitoring (tanks, silos, containers), and Vibration & Condition Monitoring (motors, pumps, CNC, compressors). All sensors feed data into the single Heliotics CORE platform which provides unified dashboards, real-time alerts, and analytics for production, environment and energy use across factories and facilities.

Broad incumbents

• Bosch Connected Industry: Bosch's Connected Industry division offers factory IoT, asset monitoring, and energy management solutions combining IoT hardware and analytics for global industrial customers. They overlap with Heliotics across condition, energy, and environmental monitoring, but as a much broader portfolio within a diversified industrial conglomerate.
• PTC (ThingWorx): PTC's ThingWorx is an established enterprise IIoT platform with deep industrial analytics, AR, and PLM integrations, widely deployed across large manufacturers. It competes with Heliotics in the industrial monitoring analytics layer, with materially greater enterprise depth and a much larger installed base.
• Siemens Industrial Edge: Siemens Industrial Edge (and the broader Siemens Xcelerator/Insights Hub) provides industrial connectivity, edge computing, and asset monitoring for large-scale plants and discrete manufacturers. It competes indirectly with Heliotics for industrial monitoring RFPs but targets complex, large-factory deployments rather than SME PLG.

Direct peers

• Particle Industries: Particle builds an IoT platform combining cellular/LPWAN hardware modules with a cloud data pipeline and dashboards, used heavily for industrial and asset monitoring. Like Heliotics they sell hardware plus a subscription platform aimed at simplifying IoT deployment for non-IT teams in industrial settings.
• MachineMetrics: MachineMetrics provides a manufacturing analytics platform with connected sensors and real-time dashboards for CNC, machining, and discrete production monitoring. Their vibration/condition monitoring and Andon-style alerting compete head-on with Heliotics' condition monitoring module, targeting similar mid-market industrial buyers.
• Samsara: Samsara is a publicly-traded leader in industrial IoT, offering plug-and-play wireless sensors and a unified cloud platform for fleet, equipment, and facility monitoring. They overlap directly with Heliotics on energy, environmental, vibration and condition monitoring for industrial customers, but at vastly greater scale and geographic reach.

Emerging players

• Litmus Automation: Litmus Automation offers an edge-to-cloud IIoT data platform with analytics and device integration for industrial environments. They overlap with Heliotics on multi-brand sensor interoperability, AI-enabled analytics, and industrial monitoring dashboards.
• Davra: Davra (now part of the EMQX Group) offers an industrial IoT platform with sensor-agnostic ingestion, dashboards, and analytics for industrial operators. They compete with Heliotics on the platform layer and interoperability story, though more focused on larger enterprise rollouts than SME PLG.
• Losant: Losant provides an IoT application enablement platform with customizable dashboards, real-time alerts, and workflow tools for industrial and enterprise monitoring. They are comparable as a horizontal IIoT platform that ingests data from multiple sensor brands, though they are software-only rather than hardware-plus-software like Heliotics.
• Cognosos: Cognosos delivers wireless IoT-based real-time location and condition monitoring for industrial and logistics environments, including facilities such as warehouses and factories. They overlap with Heliotics' warehouse and facility monitoring segments and share the plug-and-play LPWAN positioning.
