At Libelium, we’re embracing the era of datocracy, where the power and value of organizations are no longer solely based on physical or financial assets, but on their ability to generate, manage, and extract value from data.
However, accessing this value can be challenging. Through our years of experience, we’ve observed that many businesses, especially, small and medium-sized ones, face technological and economic barriers to implementing IoT solutions and advanced data analytics.
This is where iris360, Libelium’s new IoT device and data management platform, plays a crucial role. Designed to democratize access to IoT and data solutions, iris360 provides any organization with a powerful and accessible tool for turning data into strategic decisions. The platform offers a robust infrastructure (deployable on-premise or as SaaS) capable of managing large data volumes—essential for making the best decisions to create more sustainable environments.
Welcome to the data economy
The concept behind iris360 is simple: facilitate access to the data economy for all types of organizations, ensuring they can leverage the potential of IoT, artificial intelligence (AI), and advanced data visualization without needing a large technical team or massive investments.
Libelium has used nearly two decades of industry experience to create an intuitive and flexible platform that adapts to the needs of any project, from small cities to large corporations.
Studies indicate that up to 90% of the data collected by sensors and devices go unprocessed in smart cities, missing valuable insights for improving urban services. In the context of Industry 4.0, it’s estimated that up to 70% of data generated by devices and systems needs to be used more effectively. This data waste is especially significant in industrial sectors, where digitalization has advanced but needs more strategies to capitalize on the generated information fully.
Every data stakeholder has something valuable to contribute.
iris360 was designed to integrate into European data spaces, meeting EU standards for secure and ethical information sharing. This enables organizations across sectors to efficiently share and manage their data for designing solutions and services.

Fiware-ready for enhanced interoperability
iris360 also facilitates the much-needed interoperability in IoT, enabling different systems and technologies to integrate without depending on proprietary solutions. As a Fiware-ready platform, iris360 ensures smooth connectivity with a growing ecosystem of open technologies. This compatibility allows businesses and cities to overcome the limitations of a fragmented ecosystem and manage data effectively, achieving standardization within a secure and reliable environment.
Collaborating among companies and cities often means navigating a fragmented ecosystem of devices and platforms, complicating data integration and limiting operational efficiency. Libelium designed iris360 to address this challenge, providing a platform that supports IoT devices from Libelium and third parties, enabling data standardization within a secure, flexible, and reliable environment.
Fiware integration also positions iris360 at the center of European data spaces, adhering to EU standards and regulations for secure and ethical information exchange. Organizations across sectors can safely share data in these spaces, accelerating innovation and competitiveness.
Technological innovation for sustainability
At the heart of iris360 is its commitment to sustainability. The platform enables the implementation of efficient technology solutions and ensures they contribute to reducing environmental impact. Libelium designed iris360 to comply with European regulations on air quality and environmental impact, offering specialized modules like envair360 for managing Low-Emission Zones and other urban sustainability projects, as used in Cartagena (Spain).
The iris360 platform enables cities and businesses to optimize resource management, such as water, energy, and waste, contributing to developing more resilient smart cities.
It also enables reporting to measure, justify, and present decision outcomes. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can only be achieved if we track them, defining each company’s and city’s KPIs.
iris360 was created to simplify the complex task of defining, measuring, and reporting these performance indicators on a single platform.
Flexibility and scalability for any project
One of the major advantages of iris360 is its hybrid deployment, allowing organizations to implement the platform according to their specific needs. It can be deployed on client servers (on-premise) or as a SaaS (software as a service) platform, offering flexibility and control over infrastructure.
Additionally, iris360 includes a continuously expanding marketplace with new features and ready-to-use data models. This turns the platform into a living, adaptable ecosystem that evolves to meet the changing demands of any IoT project.
Artificial Intelligence and advanced analytics
In terms of analytics, iris360 incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) tools that allow real-time dashboard customization. Users can access predictive information and recommendations based on historical data analysis, facilitating faster, more accurate strategic decision-making. The analytics dashboards offer clear, advanced data visualization, helping identify patterns and trends that can be key to improving operational efficiency.
Additionally, iris360 enables data export in multiple formats, making integration with other systems or external analysis easier, promoting an interoperable approach tailored to each organization’s specific needs.
An ethical and secure approach to data management
We needed to address data privacy and security in order to design a platform for data governance, especially when the data could impact millions of people.
iris360 meets the highest security standards, ensuring data protection throughout its lifecycle. This protection includes advanced encryption protocols, access control, and cybersecurity measures that minimize the risk of breaches and external threats.
