This document describes an IoT platform developed by a local Italian firm founded in 2014. The firm's core businesses include developing IoT software and hardware. Their platform enables dynamic connection of devices using multiple protocols like Zigbee, LoRaWAN, WiFi, and Bluetooth. It also supports protocols like Modbus. The platform integrates data from various sensors and devices to create vertical solutions for applications such as smart agriculture, smart homes, smart cities, and more. The document then focuses on a smart agriculture project involving wireless sensors on cattle to monitor health and welfare. It describes the system architecture and integration of on-farm data for analysis to help farmers and reduce healthcare costs.

1. IoT, HW, SW and Telecommunications

2. • Local firm founded in 2014
• Core Businesses:
• Development of SW and sale of HW
• Standardization of the use of various protocols in order to optimize the production,
through the hw-logic, of SW- applications. This implies the possibility of having an over
time scalable system, with a further implementation of new transmission standards,
protocols and new sensors.

3. • Registered trademark of Orma-Solutions
• Enables a dynamic and telemanaged connection of devices with multiple
protocols
• Creation of various vertical solutions as well as complex systems
• Use of all security - and automation criteria of an IoT platform
• Collaboration w/ different technological partners
