By enabling efficient art health monitoring,
Conserv’s LoRa-based solution saves museums and exhibitions
thousands of dollars
Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of
high-performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and
advanced algorithms, announced that Conserv, a leading Internet of
Things (IoT) solution provider for art and museum applications, has
developed a smart art conservation solution based on Semtech’s
LoRa® devices and the LoRaWAN® protocol. Conserv’s LoRa-enabled
sensors utilize low-power capabilities to provide conservators with
accurate, efficient and simple art health metrics in real time.

“With LoRaWAN connectivity, Conserv is able to connect the
entirety of the largest museums to the Cloud without extensive
wiring or additional infrastructure. In comparison, a Wi-Fi-based
solution is difficult to install and provides inconsistent,
expensive connectivity,” said Austin Senseman, CEO of Conserv.
“Combining better network coverage with our sensors’ sensitivity
provides customers with a winning combination for effectively
monitoring exhibits, including difficult structures such as those
located outdoors.”
With over 450,000 art and cultural collections in the world,
Conserv developed its unique LoRa-based solution to help
conservators preserve centuries of cultural history. Previously, it
was difficult for museums and other galleries to offer real-time
monitoring of art exhibits’ environments due to extensive wiring
needs and Wi-Fi’s inability to cover large areas with consistent
connectivity. By leveraging LoRaWAN, Conserv created a wireless IoT
solution able to handle the challenges of this unique market.
Conserv’s smart conservation solutions consist of LoRa-enabled IoT
sensors, a LoRaWAN-based gateway and a Cloud-based data monitoring
system. Museums and collections deploy sensors to measure common
factors affecting art health, such as humidity, temperature, light,
and vibration. The sensors report accurate real-time data at
consistent intervals and offer battery lifetimes up to 30 months.
Conserv found that following deployment of its LoRa-based solution,
most museums and collections saved thousands of dollars per
year.
“Many museums and art collections are housed in historic
buildings that present a difficult environment for common wireless
technologies due to heavy use of concrete and steel,” said Marc
Pegulu, Vice President of IoT for Semtech’s Wireless and Sensing
Products Group. “Semtech’s LoRa devices and the LoRaWAN protocol
enable the flexible and simple deployment of IoT solutions into
existing infrastructure. As a result, LoRa devices preserves
cultural history so future generations are able to enjoy and learn
from centuries of art collections.”
