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)
