Smarter Automation and IoT Solutions
The most expensive words you will ever hear are “We have always done it that way”
It doesn’t matter what you need to monitor or control, we have a solution to meet your needs.
Most times, it's as easy as 1, 2, 3
Start with a Gateway
Gateways
×A Gateway is a device that connects your end devices (sensors or more complex control systems) to the rest of the world.
Some key points:
- Gateways need to be able to connect to the internet. This can be via an existing hardwired or WiFi connection, an inbuilt 3G/4G connection, or via a satellite modem.
- Different applications need different Gateways. Considerations can include indoor or outdoor, availability of power (solar is sometimes needed) and what the end devices are.
- Gateways need to be able to 'see' the end devices. Unless you're lucky, line of sight is something that only exists in a perfect world. Gateways can cover a large area with >15km in any direction being possible under ideal conditions. This means that sometimes you'll need more than one Gateway, or we'll need to place them in strategic locations.
- Gateways can be privately owned or "public access". With public access Gateways, there is no guarantee that they will be there tomorrow. Often we will have private Gateways which we provide in high density areas, sometimes we can share Gateway costs between users.
Place Devices
End Device
×An End Device can be either a simple single purpose sensor, or it can be a complex control system.
Typical Simple End Devices - many are "DIY":
- - Temperature Sensors
- - Level Sensors
- - Weather Stations
- - Asset and Livestock Tracking Sensors
- - Flow Sensors
- - Irrigation Controls
- - Electric Fence Monitors
- - Condition Monitoring Sensors
- - Bin Level Sensors
- - People Counters
Complex Control Systems
- - Water Treatment Plants
- - Silo Management Systems
- - Power Stations
- - Processing and Manufacturing Plants
Monitor Devices
Monitoring
×Monitoring can consist of:
- - Viewing status on your phone or computer - this includes trend graphs, gauges, meaningful symbols, maps, etc.
- SMS or Email alarm notifications
