Nidex Technology recently deployed Enless Wireless sensors at several sites in Slovakia to automate energy consumption monitoring in environments where traditional wired infrastructure is difficult or even impossible to install.
The project combines industrial and hospital applications, with a particular focus on the reliability of communications in technically demanding environments such as underground spaces, gas boiler rooms, and remote areas.
Equipped sites
Tsubaki Nakashima – Industrial Sector
At the Tsubaki Nakashima production site, Nidex Technology has implemented a system to monitor water and gas consumption.
Central Military Hospital (ÚVN SNP Ružomberok)
The second deployment took place at the central military hospital complex, which is spread across three sites:
- Main Campus (Gen. Miloš Vesel)
- Secondary Hospital Campus (Považská)
- MO SR Polyclinic (Sliač)
Equipment deployed
To ensure reliable communication in challenging environments, Nidex Technology has selected the Enless Wireless LoRa sensor range, which operates in LoRa Easy mode LoRa Easy communicating with Enless LoRa Easy receivers). Here is the list of Enless products deployed by Nidex:
Tsubaki Nakashima
- 6 × LoRa TX PULSE (600-036) for water metering
- 1 × LoRa TX PULSE ATEX (600-037) for gas metering
- 1 × MODBUS RX Receiver (500-302)
Central Military Hospital
- 17 × LoRa TX PULSE (600-036) for water metering
- 5 × LoRa TX PULSE ATEX (600-037) for gas metering
- 3 × MODBUS RX Receivers (500-302)
- 4 × RX REPEATER (600-301)
Project Objectives
The goal of the project is to automate data collection in areas that are difficult to access and have significant communication challenges.
The facilities include, among other things:
- Deep wells and underground spaces
- Gas boiler rooms requiring ATEX-certified equipment
- Areas with high levels of electromagnetic interference
- Remote locations where it was physically or economically impossible to deploy a wired infrastructure
Data centralization
The data collected by the sensors is aggregated using Enless MODBUS RX receivers and then integrated into a centralized dashboard on the Nidex Technology platform.
This allows users to access:
- Real-time visualization
- Data aggregation
- Consumption reports that consolidate all equipment in one place
Testimonial from Nidex Technology
“We chose Enless Wireless because we needed a reliable solution even in the most demanding technical environments. At sites such as military hospitals or heavy industrial plants, laying miles of cable is simply not an option due to the costs and structural constraints.”
“The Enless LoRa solution has proven to be extremely effective in wells and underground spaces where other technologies fail. The main advantages we’ve observed are the reliability of LoRa communication, the long battery life of the sensors, and the ease of integration with our platform via Modbus.”
“This has enabled us to bring smart metering to previously inaccessible ‘white spots,’ while providing customers with a comprehensive overview of their energy and water usage, without the need for major construction work or disruptions.”

Conclusion
Through these deployments, Nidex Technology has implemented a smart metering solution capable of operating in environments where traditional communication infrastructure was inadequate.
By leveraging Enless’s LoRa products, these projects have enabled reliable monitoring of water and gas consumption in industrial and hospital facilities, while avoiding complex installation work and extensive cabling.
