Integrated Wireless Smart Sensors

Starting with our BDT (Bulk dielectric Transducer) we have a range of simple sensors that come with a wide variety of wireless interface options for detecting substances such as water, sewerage, oil and chemical spills, etc.

We design and manufacture a wide range of bespoke smart sensors that can be used to measure, monitor and alarm all sorts of parameters for industry, farming, transport and the sports sectors. The data can be brought back locally for interfacing to on-site process controllers or passed over the PMR, satellite or cellular networks for remote processing.

Many sensors can be supplied to IP68 allowing complete submersion. Many come complete with batteries offering a life of many years, even decades. Data can be also processsed within the sensor to minimise the amount of data transmitted. 

Smart sensor option include:

  1.      PH
  2.      Proximity
  3.      Tilt / Vibration
  4.      Temperature
  5.      RH
  6.      Oil Interceptor Level
  7.      Fire     
  8.      FOG Trap Level
  9.      PIR
  10.      Break Beam

Paging Systems:

We offer a comprehensive range of on-site or wide area paging systems in conjunction with our strategic partner Multitone Electronics plc. Our unique adaptations and interfaces permit pager messaging for the first time to be triggered automatically from a range of smart sensors, transducers, security devices, fire systems, including manual call points. This permits both general information and automated emergency call messaging to be overlaid on the same system.

Paging has many advantages over the use of cell and DECT telephones. In hazardous areas where explosive atmospheres are present and cell phones and DECT are banned. We, however can offer ATEX safety certified pagers. When security is an issue and cell phones are this time banned due to their integrated cameras, then again paging has the answer. Finally, on many sites where cellular coverage is marginal or non-existent then a pager system can provide a very cost effective solution with a typical OFCOM site licence only costing less than £0.30 per week.

Other advantages of pagers includes their compact form factor, their lightweight design, long battery life, robustness and ability to successfully receive signals at a substantially lower level than the cell phone.

Message formats can range from a simple bleep – bleep – bleep to a alpha numeric message. Trigger Options include:

Smart Sensors 

Where the parameter/s being measured is optionally broadcast at regular intervals for information to staff. And/or an instant alarm messages sent when the value exceeds a specified limit. Measured / Triggered Parameters can include:

Temperature

  • Industrial Processes
  • Thermal Stratification

Humidity

  • Within storerooms
  • Fruit ripening stores
  • Grain stores / silos

PH

  1. Storage tanks
  2. Industrial processes

Drains for spill detection

  1. Dissolved oxygen
  2. Watercourses for spill detection
  3. Rivers, lakes
  4. Commercial fish farms

Pollution Level

  • Oil Interceptor
  • FOG trap Level

Pollution Containment

  • Valve Position
  • System Status

Electricity

  • Consumption
  • Power Failure
  • Maximum Demand Limit Exceeded

Level

  •  Water level
  •  Low Oil Level

Flooding

  •   Basement Flooding
  •   High river level
  •   Blocked Drains / Sewer Flooding

Blocked Drains / Sewers

  •  Warnings whenever a high level is detected                                 

Fire Alarm 

Pager messages can be triggered automatically upon the sounding of a fire alarm. This can be initiated an acoustic coupling transmitter that eliminates the need for a physical connection to the fire system.

Heat Fire Sensors 

To protect bunded chemical stores, industrial composting, outbuildings, hay barns, etc. These are bi-metallic sensors, sealed within a metallic housing to IP55 or higher standard to prevent dust, insects etc.

Covert Security          

Stand alone and covert security systems can be created with the pagers system used to deliver warning messages to security staff of intrusion/entry of restricted areas /stores. This can include the use of RFID tagging where the message contains the tag ID that has entered a protected zone

PMR Radio:

We offer a comprehensive range of PMR paging systems in conjunction with leading brands such as ICOM.  Our unique adaptations and interfaces permit PMR Base Station to automatically send messages received from a wide range of smart sensors, transducers, security devices, fire systems, including manual lone worker and emergency pollution call points. This permits both general information and automated emergency call messaging to be overlaid over your existing PMR system. 

PMR has many advantages over the use of cell and DECT telephones. In hazardous areas where explosive atmospheres are present and cell phones and DECT are banned. We, however can offer ATEX safety certified PMR Receivers. When security is the issued and cell phones are this time banned due to their integrated cameras, then again PMR has the answer. Finally, on many sites where cellular coverage is marginal or non-existent then a PMR system can provide a very cost effective solution with a typical OFCOM site licence as little as £0.30 per week

Message formats can vary from a simple tone to a pre-recorded voice message, both of which open the squelch on the receiver.
