What our solution does?
Measure, transport, store, display, analyse physical
data
What kind of physical measurements are possible?
Environmental:
temperature & humidity, smoke detection
Electrical: Energy, Voltage, Current,
power factor
What are the main applications?
Building
management, remote measuring of unmanned facilities,
monitoring of warehouses, measuring energy efficiency, sub
metering in complex buildings
What benefits this solution brings?
Peace of mind, quick response in the
case of alert, energy savings, keeping costs under control,
monitoring unmanned facilities.
How it works?
Adaptive design Solution relies on
dedicated wireless sensors and gateways to feed the measured
data in a networked infrastructure. The wireless sensors are
easy to deploy in any building and are lowering the cost of
installation to minimum. To setup the sensors network is
straight forward and can be carried out by anyone without
the need of previous experience. The only exception is the
energy sensor, which need to be fitted by an electrician.
Depending on the complexity of the
application we offer a range of solution from a simple
localised sensor network made of a few sensors, to worldwide
multisite, enterprise networks.
Case studies
A.
Low cost sensor
network - Simple network made of a few sensors and a PC
to receive measurements.
·
Low cost solution (free
software)
·
Data is received from sensors
via a low cost dedicated USB dongle (RFSUSB)
·
No database software, data is
stored in text files for further analysis
·
A PC is needed to run as a
minimal requirement
·
Solution is optimal for
datacentres or facilities which have a PC on all the time
B.
Remote Sensor network
- Simple sensor network and gateway for pushing data on a
dedicated server in the internet hosted by Adaptive design
ltd.
·
Low initial cost of hardware,
no software required
·
No PC required, the data is
pushed into our server using a broadband connection
·
Data is stored and can be
browsed with any internet browser
·
Periodical reports are sent
to the customer via email
·
Automatic alerts for values
out of range are sent via email and/or SMS
·
A fixed subscription fee need
to be paid, based on the number of sensors monitored
·
This solution is ideal for
unmanned buildings and warehouses where internet connection
available
C.
Corporate sensors
network and local server with database storing of data
and analysis
·
This is a solution where the
customer is hosting the server database
·
No need for a broadband
connection unless is required to see the data from outside
world (from internet)
·
Medium cost solution, full
suite software licence is required for running the server
·
This solution is ideal for
big companies with datacentres and a good IT infrastructure
·
Can handle large number of
sensors
D.
Enterprise sensor
network with multisite sensor networks and a central
location server, hosted by the customer
·
This is a the solution where
the customer is hosting the server database for a multisite
sensor solution
·
An internet connection is
required for retrieving
data from other sites
·
Medium cost solution, full
suite software licence is required for running the server
·
This solution is ideal
worldwide multisite enterprise with datacentres and a good
IT infrastructure
·
Can handle large number of
sensors/sites
·
The customer can see the data
from any PC in the world using a browser
·
Data and alerts can be seen
with an IPhone (free app)
