KISTERS unveiled KIPTEC (KISTERS Intelligence Platform Technology for Embedded Connectivity), a new embedded platform that turns traditional environmental sensors into fully integrated, autonomous devices. The technology removes the need for external loggers, modems, complex wiring, and multi-device pairing, cutting installation time and reducing power consumption by up to 75%.
Instead of relying on multiple components, KIPTEC builds all processing, dynamic logging, telemetry, and power management directly into the sensor, creating a single unit that only needs power.
“The market demanded simplicity,” said Anton Felder, Director of KISTERS HydroMet. “With 93 percent of monitoring professionals reporting issues tied to multi-device installations, complexity itself had become the barrier. KIPTEC removes that barrier by building connectivity, logging and processing directly into the sensor.”
Manufactured in Germany, KIPTEC-enabled sensors deliver over 12 months of onboard data storage, event-based transmission, and store-and-forward protection to avoid data loss. They automatically adapt power use based on site conditions.

The platform supports LTE-Cat-M1/NB-IoT, over-the-air updates via KISTERS telemetry, and integrates easily with existing systems via MQTT, HTTPS and SFTP. Security features include end-to-end encryption and TLS-certified IoT protection compliant with European standards.
KIPTEC-enabled sensors complement KISTERS’ Classic portfolio. “They’re called ‘Edge’ sensors because KIPTEC gives them a literal edge. They’re ideal for rapid deployment, remote sites and dense networks that need autonomous operation,” said, Klaas Schulze Dieckhoff, KISTERS Global Head of R&D. “Classic models will continue to support infrastructure-based systems with central logging, giving users flexibility and choice.”
