The intelligent monitoring platform for conveyor operations.

Monitor every conveyor.Prevent every failure.

About project

Engineered by conveyor experts. Backed by EU research.

Co-funded by the European Union

Smart Roller Technology is developed by UAB "BAKETAS" — an engineering-driven company delivering innovative conveyor systems.

Our platform is the outcome of "Creation of a Smart Conveyor Roller" — an EU-funded R&D project.

  • €282,988 total innovation project budget
  • €191,519 ERDF grant, co-funded by the European Union
  • Kaunas University of Technology research partner
  • August 2023 – February 2025 active development period
The real cost

Unplanned downtime costs more than you think

Every failure stops the belt

A single roller can halt your entire conveyor. Every hour of downtime costs thousands in lost production.

Manual checks can't scale

Technicians walk kilometers of belt to inspect thousands of rollers. Small defects slip through until they fail.

Fixes cost more than prevention

Emergency repairs cost 3–5× more than planned maintenance — and put your team at risk during unplanned belt stops.

How it works

From sensor to task, automatically

Sensors on rollers

Up to 2 LoRaWAN sensors per roller measure temperature, vibration, and rotation — with 2+ years of battery life.

Data flows to the cloud

Your gateway and Chirpstack server deliver sensor data to Smart Roller's cloud in real time.

Web platform

Live dashboards, alerts, and reports. Managers monitor every roller and assign tasks to the field team.

Smart Roller App

Field technicians scan NFC-tagged rollers, complete tasks, and install new rollers — all synced to the platform.

Mobile App

From platform to technician, in seconds

News & Updates

Smart Roller in motion: Field testing phase

Watch our latest prototype in action. We are continuously testing the Smart Roller on active conveyor belts to ensure:

  • Validate physical endurance and wear resistance
  • Calibrate sensor accuracy for predictive maintenance
  • Ensure seamless data transmission to the platform
  • Optimize the mobile app usability for on-site technicians

Belt monitoring — coming soon

Smart Roller is expanding beyond rollers. Belt condition monitoring is under research and development as part of our EU-funded project with Kaunas University of Technology.

Be among the first to try it when it launches.
