First secure ASP services deliver Web-based applications for remote monitoring of temperature, energy and moisture monitoring, from any Web-enabled deviceOrlando, FL and Needham, MA - March 2, 2007 Sensicast Systems announced the launch of SensiNet Services—an application services offering for industrial and commercial enterprises. SensiNet Services uniquely lets plant/facility managers use Sensicast’s temperature, energy and moisture monitoring applications over the Internet, without having to locate the applications within their own network infrastructure.
“As the first totally integrated measurement system to combine the power of wireless sensor networking with the flexibility of Web-access, SensiNet Services lets manufacturers measure anything, from anywhere without wires,” said Gary Ambrosino, CEO of Sensicast. SensiNet Services Web-based applications span a range of monitoring solutions for:
- Process Optimization (converting physical measurements into optimizationof manufacturing processes)
- Storage, Manufacturing and Testing Facilities (monitoring environmental conditionsfor perishables like food, chemicals, bio-materials, and pharmaceuticals)
- FDA 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance (tracking storage conditions for pharmaceutical, bioscience, food and beverage manufacturing and distribution facilities)
- Heat Trace (monitor temperature for plants and facilities with outside piping running critical processes located in extreme climate conditions)
- Water Damage Mitigation (remote moisture and humidity monitoring of water-damagedfacilities to track and accelerate the remediation process).
- Hosted Web applications monitoring and managing temperature, energy, and moisture
- Secure remote access to real-time measurements from any Internet-enabled device (computer, laptop, PDA, handheld)
- “Zero-IT” footprint eliminates need to install and manage additional software
- No changes required to enterprise security policies or firewall configurations
- User-configurable alarms and alerts, customizable data analysis, and reports
- Automatic, real-time M2M connectivity between SensiNet and popular software systems (e.g. industrial control, building automation, database-driven applications, SCADA systems)SensiNet Services leverage Sensicast’s patented, state-of-the-art mesh networking sensor technology by enabling transparent connectivity with monitoring and control systems that support widely-used industrial protocols and standards - MODBUS, TCP, ODBC, OPC, and Web Services (SOAP, http, https, and XML).
Features of SensiNet Services:
“Manufacturers today know there is potential value in additional real-time information from their own plant, from key customers, and from their supply chain partners.
But adding additional IT infrastructure and new business processes can make these investments large, complex, and risky,” commented Harry Forbes, Senior Analyst at Boston-based ARC Advisory Group.
“This is the issue Sensicast is addressing with its new SensiNet Services offering.
As Sensicast knows, achieving a ‘Zero-IT footprint’ requires support for the most common industrial protocols, but also the addition of a services portfolio that lets manufacturers invest in new information rather than new infrastructure.”
