Augos Sense / Proximity
Proximity and presence sensing
Sense presence and position, wirelessly.
Presence, position and occupancy across your sites. The hardware for this area is being finalised, so talk to us about your use case.
Augos Sense is wireless IoT sensing for South African sites: battery-powered sensors that measure temperature, humidity, air quality, level, flow, pressure and equipment state, one cloud platform that checks every reading against the limits you set and alerts on WhatsApp, email or SMS, and switches and valves that act on your rules.
Priced per sensor, plus connectivity and the platform, quoted ex VAT

The problem
You cannot see what is where, and when.
Whether a gate is open, a bay is occupied or an asset has moved, most of it is checked by eye or not at all. Between checks, you are guessing.
1
Blind spots on site
Gates, bays and stores that no one is watching, so you only find out after something has moved or gone.
2
Manual head-counts
Occupancy and access logged by hand, if at all, and out of date the moment it is written.
3
Assets that wander
Equipment and stock move around a site with no record of where they are.
4
No trigger to act
Nothing links a presence event to an action, so a response depends on someone noticing.
The method
One sensor turns a blind spot into a live reading.
Put a sealed, battery-powered sensor on each condition you care about. It reports to one cloud platform, and Augos does the watching, so you only hear about it when something moves.
1
Measure it
A wireless sensor on each condition, reporting as often as every minute, on a battery, with no wiring to run.
2
Get told
Set the range that matters. The moment a reading passes it, you get a message on WhatsApp, email or SMS.
3
Act on it
Trigger a light, a gate or an alert automatically when presence is detected, or route it to whoever needs to know.
What we measure
The proximity parameters.
Each parameter is a separate sensor, so you deploy only the ones you need and add more anytime.
Presence
Whether something is there.
In the knowledge base ›Distance
How far, or how close.
In the knowledge base ›Occupancy
Whether a space is in use.

Use cases
Where sites put it to work.
Access and gates
Know when a gate, door or barrier opens, and trigger a light or an alert.
Occupancy
See whether a bay, room or space is in use, live.
Asset presence
Know when equipment or stock is in place, or has left.
Machine guarding
Detect presence in a zone and stop or slow a machine.

Start small
Start with a single sensor.
No rip-and-replace and no commitment: a single sensor can be live in 48 hours, and you add more once it proves out. Sensors mount magnetically, with no wiring to run and no calibration to perform.
Augos Sense is priced in three parts: the sensors, priced per sensor by what each one is built to measure; connectivity, a monthly cost per sensor; and the platform, one charge per deployment. Figures on request: we size a quote, ex VAT, to the sensors and sites you need.
Questions
How do the sensors connect?
Wirelessly, over LoRa, NB-IoT or Sigfox, chosen for the coverage and density of your site. There is no wiring to run.
How long do the batteries last?
Years, depending on the sensor and how often it reports: the temperature sensor runs up to about two years on a full charge, configuration dependent. Sensors report at intervals you set, from once a minute to a few times an hour, and need no mains and no cabling.
How fast can we install?
A single sensor can be live in 48 hours. Sensors mount magnetically, with no wiring and no calibration, so a site electrician or your own team can fit them without downtime. You add more sensors and sites the same way.
What can it alert on, and how?
Set an upper limit, a lower limit or a rate of change on any sensor. The moment one is passed, the right person gets a message on WhatsApp, email or SMS.
Where does the data go?
Into one cloud platform, hosted in South Africa. Watch it live, set alerts, chart it, or take it out as a download, by API or as an AI-ready export.
How are you priced?
Per sensor, plus connectivity monthly and the platform per deployment, quoted ex VAT. The single-sensor pilot is the standard way in.
