What Beanair does

BeanAir is a Berlin-based industrial IoT company founded in 2008 that designs and manufactures wireless sensor systems for structural health monitoring (SHM), predictive maintenance and environmental monitoring of civil and industrial assets. Its portfolio is organized into three wireless protocol families — the SATEVIS LoRaWAN series with up to 15 km range for remote infrastructure, the WILOW WiFi series with native MQTT for cloud integration, and the BEANDEVICE 2.4 GHz series with embedded data logging up to 8 million points — complemented by IoT gateways (including a solar-powered outdoor variant) and the BeanScape supervision software. Differentiated proprietary technologies include Easy-Sense automatic calibration memory, a 5th-order anti-aliasing Butterworth hardware filter, TimeSync wireless clock synchronization at ±2.5 ms, and ultra-low-power firmware delivering up to 10 years of battery life.

The company sells primarily to enterprise customers across civil infrastructure (bridges, dams, tunnels), transportation (railway rolling stock and pantographs), telecommunications (antenna base stations), energy and utilities (nuclear plant cooling towers, gas pipelines), manufacturing (automotive plants) and oil & gas. Revenue is generated through quote-based hardware sales of sensors and gateways plus the BeanScape Premium software subscription (which bundles FFT analysis and automated DIN 4150-3 reporting), with a free BeanScape Lite tier used as a product-led growth lever. Distribution is executed via direct sales and a global distributor and integrator network covering 25+ countries.

BeanAir holds CE, FCC, RoHS, ARIB, IC, IP66/IP67 and NEMA 6 certifications supporting cross-market deployment, and integrates with The Things Network, Chirpstack, Datacake, MQTT and Modbus TCP/IP for SCADA/PLC systems. The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company and a headcount in the 11-50 range.

Core offering

BeanAir designs and manufactures wireless IoT sensors and gateways for industrial applications, organized into three product lines: Satevis (LoRaWAN, up to 15km range), Wilow (WiFi/MQTT), and BeanDevice (2.4GHz with embedded datalogger). The sensors measure tilt, vibration, shock, displacement, temperature, humidity, and analog voltage/current for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), predictive maintenance, geotechnical, telecom, and environmental monitoring use cases. Complementary hardware includes LoRaWAN and 2.4GHz gateways, plus BeanScape supervision software for real-time visualization, FFT analysis, and automated DIN 4150-3 reporting.

Product overview

BeanAir is a Berlin-based industrial IoT company offering a comprehensive wireless sensor ecosystem for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), condition monitoring, and environmental monitoring. The product portfolio consists of three main sensor series: (1) SATEVIS LoRaWAN Series for ultra-long-range (up to 15km) monitoring with Easy-Sense sensor fusion; (2) WILOW WiFi Series for ultra-low-power MQTT-enabled sensors; and (3) BEANDEVICE 2.4GHz Series for field-proven sensors with built-in data logging. Key products include bi-axis and tri-axis inclinometers (Alpha-INC 30B, Alpha-INC Kompakt), tri-axis vibration sensors (AX-3D SR, AX-3D Xrange), WiFi vibration and shock sensors (Wilow AX-3D, Wilow AX-3DS), wireless DAQ for strain gauges (AN-mV), temperature/humidity sensors (ONE-TH), and displacement sensors (Easy-Sense). Complementary hardware includes LoRaWAN gateways (including solar-powered), 2.4GHz BeanGateway with Modbus TCP/IP, and BeanScape supervision software for real-time visualization, FFT analysis, and automated alarm reporting. The platform supports third-party integration via The Things Network, Chirpstack, Datacake, MQTT, and Modbus TCP/IP.
