In traditional IoT deployments, system architecture is often fragmented: sensor vendors provide devices, communication modules require third-party integration, and platform systems must repeatedly adapt protocols and data models. This fragmented approach leads to long deployment cycles, high integration costs, and complex on-site commissioning.
ManThink has developed a true full-stack IoT product ecosystem based on years of experience in LoRaWAN and industrial IoT, covering the entire chain from edge sensing to cloud applications.
We redefine IoT architecture through a four-layer structure:
1. Sensing Layer: Multi-Protocol Sensor System
We provide a wide range of industrial and smart city sensors, including:
- Temperature, humidity, water leak, level, and pressure sensors
- Utility metering devices (electricity, water, gas meters)
- Digital input, analog input, and pulse signal acquisition
- Industrial equipment status monitoring interfaces
These sensors support both wired and wireless integration, enabling seamless retrofit of legacy systems with minimal rewiring.
2. Edge Access Layer: DTU Data Acquisition Units (KC / KS Series)
Between field devices and the network, we provide standardized DTU gateways:
- RS485 / Modbus / M-Bus / pulse / 4–20mA support
- LoRaWAN wireless transmission
- Embedded EdgeBus edge computing engine
- Local protocol parsing and preprocessing
The DTU layer transforms heterogeneous devices into unified data models and performs edge-level intelligence, significantly reducing cloud-side integration complexity.
3. Network Layer: LoRaWAN Gateway System
We offer indoor and outdoor LoRaWAN gateway solutions:
- Multi-channel concurrent reception
- 4G / Ethernet / WiFi backhaul
- Deployable in buildings, campuses, and city-scale networks
- Compatible with ChirpStack and private network servers
Gateways serve not only as communication nodes but also as critical infrastructure for reliable and scalable IoT connectivity.
4. Platform Layer: ThinkLink IoT Platform
Based on the ThinkLink platform, we provide a unified data and application layer:
- Device lifecycle management
- Data ingestion, storage, and visualization
- Rule engine and alert system
- MQTT and API-based bidirectional communication
- Rapid development of industry applications (smart buildings, energy, industry)
ThinkLink transforms raw device data into actionable business intelligence.
