KISTERS Launches KIPTEC

On November 26, 2025, KISTERS announced the launch of KIPTEC (KISTERS Intelligence Platform Technology for Embedded Connectivity), a groundbreaking technology that transforms traditional environmental sensors into fully integrated devices. This innovative platform removes the need for external data loggers, modems, and complex wiring, streamlining field installations while reducing energy consumption by up to 75%.

Breaking Down KIPTEC

KIPTEC revolutionizes the way environmental sensors operate by integrating all necessary processing, dynamic logging, telemetry, and energy management directly into the sensor. This results in a single, standalone unit that merely requires power to function.

Key features of KIPTEC include:

• - Instant Cloud Connectivity: Sensors connect to the cloud in less than 30 seconds.
• - Dynamic Logging: Integrated data logging capabilities.
• - Direct Data Transmission: Ensures real-time data sharing for immediate analysis.
• - Simplicity of Installation: Replace three components with one device, enabling minimal installation complexities.
• - Energy Efficiency: Significant reduction in energy usage by as much as 75%.

Anton Felder, director of KISTERS HydroMet, stated, "The market demanded simplicity. With 93% of environmental monitoring professionals reporting troubles with multi-device installations, complexity itself had become a barrier. KIPTEC eliminates that barrier by integrating connectivity, logging, and processing directly into the sensor."

Technical Specifications and Capabilities

The KIPTEC-compatible sensors, manufactured in Germany, boast over 12 months of integrated data storage, event-based data transmission, and innovative data protection methods that ensure no loss of information. These sensors adapt their power consumption based on site conditions, maximizing their efficiency in various environments.

KIPTEC is compatible with LTE-Cat-M1/NB-IoT networks and features wireless updates through KISTERS telemetry. It easily integrates into existing systems using protocols such as MQTT, HTTPS, and SFTP. Additionally, security measures include end-to-end encryption and IoT protection certified by TLS, complying with European standards.

The Edge of KIPTEC

KISTERS has labeled these sensors as 'Edge' sensors, as KIPTEC provides a distinctive advantage. They are perfect for rapid deployments, remote sites, and dense networks that require autonomous operation. Klaas Schulze Dieckhoff, global director of R&D at KISTERS, remarked, "Classic models will continue to be compatible with infrastructure-based systems featuring centralized logging, offering users the flexibility and options they need."

Looking Ahead

As we approach the first quarter of 2026, KISTERS will launch the HyQuant Edge—the first water radar utilizing KIPTEC technology. This marks a significant step in enhancing environmental monitoring solutions.
