IoTSens

What IoTSens does

Nealis Tech, formerly operating as IoTSens, is a Spain-based private IoT solutions provider founded in 2013 and headquartered in Castellón, with additional offices in Valencia and Valladolid. The company designs, manufactures, and integrates end-to-end IoT systems for environmental and infrastructure monitoring, combining proprietary hardware sensors with a unified software platform. Its product portfolio consists of four hardware devices — a combined sound and air quality monitor, a dedicated sound monitor, a dedicated air quality monitor, and an Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) gateway — together with the Plataforma NealisTech, a central software layer that aggregates, visualizes, and analyzes the sensor data for decision support.

The company's solutions are organized around five vertical applications: cities and municipalities, water management utilities, buildings and real estate, tourism and smart economy, and industrial and manufacturing, with the first two (cities and water) treated as the primary go-to-market focus. Reference customers include Spanish municipalities such as Ayuntamiento de Meliana, Ayuntamiento de Torrent, Onda, and Cangas del Narcea; water utilities FACSA (Spain) and Aguas do Porto (Portugal); and industrial clients Iberital, Orbel, and Refrival. Nealis Tech holds ENS ALTA certification under Spain's National Security Framework, a credential relevant to public-sector procurement.

Revenue is generated through three streams: hardware sales of the monitoring devices and gateways, recurring software subscriptions for the NealisTech platform, and professional services for custom IoT project delivery. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with a consultative B2B field-sales motion targeting enterprises and government entities. The company positions itself as a Spanish-domestic specialist in smart-city and urban-service IoT, with limited but evidenced cross-border expansion into Portugal.

Core offering

IoTSens (operating as Nealis Tech) provides end-to-end Internet of Things solutions that combine proprietary hardware sensors (sound monitors, air quality monitors, and AMR gateways) with the Plataforma NealisTech software platform for environmental monitoring, smart city management, water cycle digitalization, building management, and tourism analytics. Offerings are sold as off-the-shelf products and as bespoke custom projects tailored to the needs of municipalities, water utilities, and industrial customers.

Product overview

Nealis Tech offers a unified platform-plus-hardware portfolio for IoT, AI, and BigData solutions targeting smart cities and urban services. The core offering is the Plataforma NealisTech (software platform) which serves as the central data aggregation and analytics hub, complemented by a suite of dedicated hardware devices including the Monitor de Sonido y Calidad del Aire (combined sound and air quality monitor), Monitor de Sonido (sound monitor), Monitor de Calidad del Aire (air quality monitor), and Gateway AMR (meter reading gateway). These products work together to digitize urban environments, with the hardware devices collecting environmental data and the platform transforming that data into actionable insights for city management, water utilities, building operations, and tourism monitoring.

Direct peers

• Libelium: Zaragoza-based IoT platform and sensor manufacturer offering interoperable hardware for smart water, air quality, and smart-city applications. Closest direct competitor to IoTSens/NealisTech in Spain, addressing the same end markets with a comparable end-to-end stack.
• Urbiotica: Spanish smart-city IoT provider focused on waste management, noise, and environmental sensors for municipalities. Direct overlap with NealisTech's smart-city environmental monitoring offering and similar go-to-market through municipal channels.
• Worldsensing: Barcelona-based IoT company specializing in monitoring for smart cities, mining, and infrastructure (e.g., Loadsensing). Comparable in vertical focus on environmental and infrastructure monitoring with both proprietary hardware and a software platform.
• Sentilo: Open-source smart-city sensor and data platform originating in Barcelona, widely adopted by Spanish municipalities. Competitor to the Plataforma NealisTech as the city-level data aggregation and analytics layer for IoT deployments.

Broad incumbents

• Kamstrup: Danish provider of smart metering solutions for water, heat, and electricity, including AMR gateways and analytics platforms. Overlaps with the water-utility side of NealisTech's business and competes for the same European utility tenders.
• Itron: Global leader in water, gas, and electricity metering and AMI/AMR solutions. Directly comparable to NealisTech's water-utility digitalization and Gateway AMR product line, but operating at vastly larger scale with broader geographic reach.
• Siemens (Smart City / City Performance Tool): Global industrial and smart-infrastructure conglomerate with smart-city, building, and grid IoT portfolios. Competes in the same municipal and water-utility RFPs NealisTech targets, typically as a larger and more integrated vendor.
• Aqualogy (Suez / Veolia): Water-services and digital-water subsidiary within Veolia, offering smart metering, leak detection, and water network monitoring across Iberia and Europe. Comparable to the AMR, leak detection, and water-cycle digitalization use cases served by NealisTech for clients like FACSA.

Emerging players

• Kerlink: French provider of IoT network infrastructure (LoRaWAN gateways, geolocation) and smart-city solutions. Comparable in combining IoT connectivity hardware with smart-city applications and an indirect partner/competitor for NealisTech's gateway-centric deployments.
• Acklio: French IoT software specialist focused on LPWAN network management, smart metering, and smart-city applications. Comparable to NealisTech's platform layer and complementary to its AMR gateway business, addressing overlapping European utility and municipal customers.
