Preserving Art Galleries with LoRa IoT Environmental Monitoring
An art gallery houses artworks such as paintings, calligraphy pieces, sculptures, which are all highly sensitive to environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide (CO₂). To save the artworks and enhance visitor experience, it is critical to maintain the venue’s environment in an optimal state. A smart IoT environmental monitoring system with real-time data and alert would be preferred.
The LoRa gateway real-time monitoring system developed by Freshliance supports global data visualization of environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, gases, such as CO₂ concentration), ideal for preserving art galleries with LoRa IoT environmental monitoring and thus optimizing venue operation and management.
Within the wireless environmental monitoring system, a single gateway can connect to up to 50 LoRa sensors (communicating via LoRa network with a maximum range of 400 meters). Each sensor can also be equipped with two external probes, each configurable with independent recording intervals, alarm thresholds, etc. This allows managers to flexibly adjust the monitoring settings for specific areas or environmental variations, meeting the practical needs of different management zones. Furthermore, sensor name can be freely modified and the sensors can be freely added or deleted as required.
The gateway automatically sends data to Freshliance cloud in real time, enabling administrators to remotely view data (including historical graphs and lists, and automated processing and analysis) via mobile APP and cloud platform anytime, anywhere, even during unattended periods. Cloud data are free for three years, ensuring security and reliability.
If the preset thresholds are exceeded, the administrators are automatically notified with emails, SMS, APP push alerts, ensuring timely intervention regardless where they are.
Thanks to the LoRa communication, the IoT environmental monitoring system offers a maximum transmission distance of 400m and stronger signal penetration, less unaffected by walls, concrete floors, etc.—making it particularly suitable for large-scale art galleries. Automated data monitoring and early warning reduce the frequency and intensity of manual inspections.
