New Generation Sensors S.r.l. (NGS) is an Italian start-up company established in 2015, spin-off of Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna (SSSA). NGS has strong expertise in the development of advanced wireless systems following the Internet of Things vision. NGS is currently focusing its efforts on the development of smart solution toward the Factory 4.0, continuing the path started with the ENEL Smart Plant order that has permitted the deployment of 100 NGS sensors within the Federico II power plant in Brindisi (Italy). Finally, NGS is working on different scenarios: Smart Agriculture (shown at the Ericsson Innovation Day), Smart City and ITSs (a prototype of the proposed Logistics 4.0 experiment was shown at the 2016 ETSI plugtest in Livorno).

In its 3 years of activity NGS has developed a complete monitoring chain capable to collect data from the environment, dispatch this exploiting wireless IoT protocols (LoRaWAN and 6LoWPAN) and a proprietary gateway toward a simple Cloud platform. All the hardware and software are proprietary, enabling the personalisation of products.
