Chirp and netzbest Partner to Expand IoT Infrastructure in Germany

Chirp, one of the largest Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePINs), has partnered with netzbest GmbH, an IT service provider specializing in property management and healthcare solutions in Germany. By leveraging Chirp’s community-powered DePIN and SaaS platform, netzbest will deploy thousands of IoT sensors across various facilities, addressing key operational challenges and enhancing security, efficiency, and resource management.

This partnership demonstrates how decentralized networks can seamlessly integrate with existing infrastructure, providing scalable, cost-effective, and highly reliable IoT solutions for real-world applications.

IoT-Powered Solutions for Property Management

netzbest is implementing IoT-based monitoring and automation to improve property management, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance safety. Key use cases include:

Preventing Water Damage and Resource Waste

Water damage incidents can be costly and disruptive. After experiencing a significant water leak in a utility room, netzbest is deploying:

• Water leak sensors to detect leaks early and prevent extensive damage.
• Water level monitoring to track groundwater pump functionality and maintain optimal operation.
• Salt level monitoring in water softener systems to ensure proper maintenance.

Enhancing Security in Shared Spaces

Unauthorized access and theft remain ongoing concerns for property managers. To address these risks, netzbest is implementing:

• Door sensors to monitor general access doors and prevent unauthorized entry.
• Motion detectors in bicycle storage areas to mitigate theft and alert property managers to unusual activity.
• Storage compartment monitoring for basement storage spaces to provide residents with greater security.

Optimizing Parking Management

Parking violations are a frequent issue in residential complexes. To improve efficiency and prevent unauthorized use of designated parking spaces, netzbest is integrating:

• Parking spot sensors to detect unauthorized vehicles and notify residents in real time.

Technical Implementation and Deployment Roadmap

The project is structured into three key phases to ensure a smooth rollout and continuous optimization:

Phase 1: Initial Deployment and System Integration

• Ensuring all LoRaWAN-based sensors are correctly integrated and transmitting data.
• Configuring real-time notifications for property managers and residents.
• Establishing direct client support to quickly address feedback and optimize performance.

Phase 2: Advanced Monitoring and Visualization

• Implementing dashboard-based visualization for floor plans, allowing property managers to track sensor data in real time.
• Gathering user feedback to refine data displays and ensure ease of use.
• Expanding device support and improving system responsiveness based on real-world usage.

Phase 3: Automation and Intelligent Decision-Making

• Deploying automated rule-based alerts to minimize manual intervention.
• Integrating customized workflows, such as automatic siren activation for security incidents.
• Addressing false positives and refining event detection for improved accuracy.

By systematically implementing these phases, Chirp and netzbest ensure a high level of service reliability, fast response times, and seamless system scalability.

Real-World Impact and Scalability

With this deployment, netzbest is future-proofing property management by adopting decentralized, low-maintenance, and highly scalable IoT solutions. By leveraging Chirp’s DePIN, netzbest benefits from:

• Reduced operational costs through automation and predictive maintenance.
• Enhanced security for residential and commercial properties.
• Improved resource efficiency in managing water systems and shared spaces.

As the project progresses, netzbest plans to expand IoT sensor installations, offering these solutions directly to residents and additional properties. This collaboration reinforces the practical benefits of decentralized IoT networks, setting a strong foundation for future integrations in real estate, healthcare, and facility management.
