TEKTELIC (EKTELIC / Techtelic) → IoT.Factora
Calgary, Canada. Carrier-grade LoRaWAN infrastructure. Use when coverage, harsh outdoor, or ATEX matters more than SKU breadth.
Gateways
- KONA Micro / Enterprise / Macro / Mega — indoor to high-capacity
- KONA Macro Ex / Mega Ex — hazardous
- KONA Photon — solar / remote
- KONA Mobile — temporary sites
A KONA can embed an LNS and speak Modbus/MQTT/BACnet toward plant systems. Factora still wants MQTT value.
Sensors (map carefully)
| TEKTELIC | Factora |
|---|---|
| TUNDRA | temperature, humidity (cold chain) |
| BREEZE / AERIS | co2, IAQ, occupancy as configured |
| COMFORT | room climate, leak |
| VIVID | PIR occupancy (anonymous) |
| ORCA / STORK / PELICAN | asset location, not production count |
| SEAL / SEAL EX | personnel safety tracker |
| CHICKADEE | badge tracker |
Trackers are not OEE counters.
Recipe
- Deploy KONA for the regional plan and mounting (pole vs indoor).
- Run KONA Core or ChirpStack (or TTN) as LNS — Factora is not the LNS.
- Application integration: MQTT toward
iot.factoraerp.com:1883with Factora device credentials. - Payload decoder: TEKTELIC codec → engineering units →
{ "value": n, "messageId": "<id>" }. - Register matching Factora devices before enabling the integration.
