Opus Solutions B.V. has created the OPUS Watch, a smart watch specifically designed for the greenhouse sector. Unlike recording via mobile phones or tablets, for example, employees no longer need to manually enter data, thereby preventing disruptions to the natural workflow.
By automating the registration of work activities, this hands-free wrist device could provide essential data needed to refine work processes. However, this depends on whether the wireless connectivity allows the data to transmit successfully.
Connectivity isn’t always guaranteed in greenhouse environments where extensive glass and metal structures create dead zones and obstruct signals. This means that gaining valuable insights into work processes is often difficult. The Smart Labour Watch project focuses on 4G LTE connectivity to assess whether the wireless technology is suitable for reliable, real-time recording of labour. At the same time, the potential of built-in e-SIMs on private networks is being investigated.

In March of 2026, Do IoT Fieldlab and MCS supported the startup Vydar at Unmanned Valley with wireless connectivity. Why? To test Vydars distributed sensor system designed to detect drones in our airspace from a great distance.
Our slogan says it all: at Do IoT Fieldlab, we use technology to accelerate wireless innovation!
The Wireless Factory & Warehouse event took place at SAM XL. Curious? View the photos here.
This week, Do IoT Fieldlab, Future Network Services (FNS) and ICCS are in Barcelona to attend the Mobile World Congress: the world’s largest event for the connectivity industry! The theme for 2026: The IQ Era.
Remote maintenance inspections cannot always be carried out yet. However, the technologies to make it possible are already available. Combined, robotics, teleoperation, AI, and 5G promise greater productivity, and cost efficiency. But what is realistically achievable for your business today?
Join us on 12 March as we open the doors to our brand-new Beyond 5G test facility at SAM XL! During the event, you’ll explore how combining 5G and mobile robots can transform your organisation. Think seamless collaboration between mobile robots, stationary robots, and people. In just a few hours, you will see how 5G and Beyond 5G can strengthen factory and logistics operations.
coverage at sea
How can you best map network coverage above the North Sea? That’s the key question driving the work of start-up Drocean. They are working on a coverage map using professional drones. Over the past few months, they have been able to validate and further refine their concept with support from Do IoT Fieldlab. The outcome? They are now ready to create the coverage map.
Experimenting with satellite connectivity: a long-cherished wish that has finally become reality. We recently installed a Starlink dish at our facility, opening the door to new research and exploration. It allows us to investigate application performance, reliability and data routing.
