OUR JOURNEY / OUR JOURNEY ## A journey of connection. **From modules to platforms.** Starting with wireless meter reading, we built a portfolio spanning sensing, acquisition, networks and applications. - ORIGIN 2013 ### Wireless modules and meter reading [\[1\]](https://www.manthink.cn/en/about/#history-source-1) Launched LoRa-based UM wireless data modules and wireless reading solutions for water, electricity, heat and gas meters. - FOUNDATION 2014 ### Beijing ManThink Technology established [\[1\]](https://www.manthink.cn/en/about/#history-source-1) Focused on low-power wide-area IoT research and applications, developing products, networks and services for field connectivity. - EDGE 2018 ### EdgeBus emerges from field projects [\[2\]](https://www.manthink.cn/en/about/#history-source-2) Introduced EdgeBus to connect heterogeneous instruments in coal-to-electric heating projects, using an edge execution framework for existing device protocols and acquisition logic. - PLATFORM 2019 ### First release of ThinkLink [\[2\]](https://www.manthink.cn/en/about/#history-source-2) Combined a LoRaWAN network server with an IoT application platform, bringing device connectivity and data applications together. - OPEN 2025 ### Expanding access to development and deployment [\[2\]](https://www.manthink.cn/en/about/#history-source-2) Released the TypeScript EB Compiler to simplify acquisition development, and made the complete ThinkLink installer and Docker images freely available for self-hosting.

Working instruments, sensors and electromechanical equipment are the foundation already in place. Understand interfaces and protocols, then use programmable acquisition and AI-assisted development to connect equipment to new applications. 01 / SENSE ### Understand your environment Choose LoRaWAN sensors by measured quantity and signal type. **Sensors & signal acquisition ↗** [01 / SENSEUnderstand your environmentChoose LoRaWAN sensors by measured quantity and signal type.Sensors & signal acquisition ↗](https://www.manthink.cn/en/products/sensors/) 02 / CONNECT ### Connect existing interfaces Integrate existing device protocols with collectors and EdgeBus / JS. **Retrofit existing equipment ↗** [02 / CONNECTConnect existing interfacesIntegrate existing device protocols with collectors and EdgeBus / JS.Retrofit existing equipment ↗](https://www.manthink.cn/en/edgebus/) 03 / APPLY ### Put data to work ThinkLink combines native LoRaWAN, AI operations and micro-apps, with free self-hosting. **ThinkLink platform ↗** [03 / APPLYPut data to workThinkLink combines native LoRaWAN, AI operations and micro-apps, with free self-hosting.ThinkLink platform ↗](https://www.think-link.net/zh/) BUILD TOGETHER / PARTNERSHIPS ## You know your industry.
