IoT platform for museums and historical buildings
BOX-IO customization for the control and monitoring of the Diocesano Museum of Vicenza
To achieve this project LoraWAN sensors were chosen, given their capability of overcome obstacle and the ability to filter through the thick bearing walls (thanks to theirs 868 Mhz frequency). This decision was made on the base of the known broad interval of 30min between temperature and humidity values. Furthermore, the adoption of radio sensors has considerably simplified their non invasive installation, since no electric cables nor wiring were needed thus preserving the museum historical walls.
Customer
Vicenza Diocesano Museum
Objective
Temperature and humidity control toward the proper conservation of the works displayed (notably the wood ones)
Timing
5 years
Sector
Buildings monitoring
Provision of an IoT platform consisting of control unit, Wireless Sensors, Gateway, Cloud and Web Dashboard for monitoring and control of environments
The project required the development of an IOT Museum Platform Solution employing BOX-IO Technology in order to supervise an historical building of considerable dimension and with a complex structure (i.e. extremely thick walls, need to reach the building remote areas).
To this end, they were employed five wireless sensors with LoraWAN technology, capable of controlling the temperature and humidity levels towards the proper conservation of the works displayed, especially the ones made of wood and more likely to deteriorate.
Finally, a Web Dashboard was developed and a space was rented

Ultimately, a Web Dashboard was designed and created which combined with the renting of a Cloud space, has provided the museum personnel with real time control and management.
