New building wireless monitoring solution
Added: (Thu Dec 08 2005)
BOX telematics, together with Luxoft Labs, have jointly developed a ZigBee-based wireless sensor solution that allows building measurement. Thanks to this cutting-edge technology, real-time data is available over a WEB based solution, allowing accurate and efficient building assessment while saving significant manual labour costs.
Vasiliy Suvorov, Managing Director of Luxoft Labs, said: “The pervasive internet revolution is in the making and no industry will remain unchanged. A number of small sensor devices all communicating using ZigBee protocol allows real-time data collection. Companies spend a lot of resources in building evaluation to enable advances in building materials and design. Typical investigations involve at least two professional engineers and may take anywhere from a few months to few years.”
The wireless MeshNetics™ nodes with differing measurement sensors are placed in and around buildings. They form an ad-hoc mesh network, using MeshNetics™ ZigBee Stack software, and transmit data through a master node using GPRS to the monitoring company’s server. The data is then stored in a server and reports are made available on any internet enabled PC. The whole process is completely automated.
Charles Joel, Project Leader at BOX telematics, added: “Wireless m2m technology is the future of remote measurement. Delivering the latest m2m hardware and BOXgateway™ web based software; its continual investigation and delivery of ground breaking ‘wire-free’ connectivity BOX telematics stay at the forefront of technology by working with Luxoft Labs and its ‘MeshNetics’ technology. Remote building measurement delivers high value data via the BOXgateway™ enabling quick and accurate data decisions without the need for on site engineering evaluation.”
