The Challenge

The Internet of Things (IoT), has introduced the significance of the ability to connect everything. Well almost anything – as in many cases the feasibility exists, but the cost of implementation makes it barely practical. The ability to swiftly detect an event and send prompt notifications is definitely a key to improved operational efficiency in most industrial and utility applications. However, this proves challenging in scenarios where utilizing existing controllers to detect a simple change of status is either difficult or impractical, especially in harsh outdoor locations lacking power and/or communication lines. Additionally, employing an expensive controller for monitoring a single dry-contact sensor becomes economically unfeasible. The solution demands proportionality to the
application's complexity. DataStream's Event Monitoring CellPoint, offering a realistic and cost-effective means to monitor a simple sensor anywhere, providing a solution tailored to the specific needs of the application.
