Tags & Custom Fields for Smart IoT Sensor Management
Built to Integrate. Designed to Scale.
A Platform Built for Integration and Growth
By combining a secure API, bidirectional data flow, and support for AI and business logic, Sensor-Online enables scalable and future-proof IoT architectures.
The result is an integration-friendly platform where IoT data can be shared, enriched, and reused across the entire organization � securely, efficiently, and without vendor lock-in.
What Are Tags and Custom Fields?
Tags and custom fields are metadata elements attached to sensors, devices, and applications within Sensor-Online. They add context and structure that simplify management of large IoT deployments.
- Tags – Flexible labels used for quick classification, such as building, floor, zone, or sensor type
- Custom fields – Structured fields for consistent data such as area (m²), asset ID, cost center, or installation date
Faster Search and Filtering Across Sensor Fleets
As the number of sensors grows, finding the right devices quickly becomes critical. Tags and custom fields enable advanced filtering and fast searches across the platform.
- Search sensors by location, function, or application
- Filter large sensor lists with a few clicks
- Reduce time spent navigating complex deployments
Group Sensors by Function or Location
Tags and custom fields make it easy to group sensors that belong together logically, even when they are distributed across multiple physical locations.
- Group sensors by building, site, or geographic area
- Group by application such as energy, water, indoor climate, or monitoring
- Create logical collections for dashboards, reports, and alerts
This allows users to work with sensor data at a higher and more meaningful level.
Improved Dashboards, Reports, and Automation
When sensors are consistently tagged and enriched with custom fields, the value of dashboards, reports, and automation rules increases significantly.
- Build dashboards dynamically based on tags instead of individual sensors
- Generate reports per building, zone, or application
- Apply alarms and automation logic to groups of sensors at once
This reduces configuration effort and improves long-term maintainability.
Scalable Metadata for Growing IoT Systems
Tags and custom fields are especially valuable in large-scale and multi-tenant environments, where hundreds or thousands of sensors must be managed consistently.
- Standardize sensor metadata across projects and customers
- Support internal processes, reporting, and cost allocation
- Prepare structured data for analytics, APIs, and external integrations
From Raw Sensors to Structured Digital Assets
By using tags and custom fields, Sensor-Online transforms individual sensors into well-structured digital assets that are easy to manage, analyze, and scale.
The result is clearer system oversight, faster workflows, and an IoT platform that remains efficient as deployments grow in size and complexity.
