10 Advantages of Sensor-to-Cloud Systems

Sensor-to-cloud systems utilize wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to record, process and store data in the cloud, allowing all users to access data. They're used in many applications to collect and process vital operational data. Uses for sensor-to-cloud systems include:

• Military enemy tracking,
• Patient monitoring in health care,
• Plant health, soil degradation and water scarcity in agriculture,
• Construction structural monitoring,
• Traffic management,
• Building

Vibration Sensors For Wind Turbine Condition Monitoring

There are currently about half a million wind turbines (WTs) in operation worldwide. Recent years have seen a significant surge, representing a 19 percent increase since 2019. Over the next few years, that number is expected to grow by about 50 percent, and most industry insiders agree that’s a fairly conservative estimate.  The reliability of the technology has increased

Security Sensors

Wireless sensors have an almost infinite number of use cases in IoT applications, but security is one area in which they are indispensable. They are an integral component of commercial and industrial security, and they play a vital role in securing spaces such as warehouses, retail stores, shopping malls, factories, and just about any setting that requires 24-hour oversight.  Types

Ultrasonic Sensors

Ultrasonic sensors are a non-contact method of remotely monitoring the distance between a solid object and/or liquids in a container. From an industrial standpoint, they can be used in various ways, such as measuring a container’s fill or the distance to an object with a solid flat surface.

Ultrasonic Sensors: How They Work

Vibration Analysis for Condition Monitoring

Every mechanical system or machine has a known vibrational signature. When the machine is operating as it should, there is an acceptable range of variation in frequency, amplitude, and intensity, but beyond that threshold, too much—or too little—vibration could indicate a malfunction or predict that a breakdown is about to occur.  When we can monitor and analyze machine vibration, we

How Temp Sensors Help You Maximize Profits and Reduce Risk

In today’s highly competitive business landscape, maximizing efficiency is critical. From the factory floor to the customer’s door and throughout the supply chain, ensuring your products arrive on time and as expected is essential to customer retention—and profitability.  IoT is a major catalyst in this effort, as it provides ways for the enterprise to monitor everything from machine function to

Wireless Temperature Sensors Protect Your Property and Inventory from Heat and Cold

Most businesses take calculated measures to protect their property from threats like theft and physical damage. However, a significant portion of your inventory and physical assets also need protection from the elements. This means not only keeping them inside, out of the rain and snow, but also guarding against extreme temperature fluctuations that could spell disaster if you

Wireless Movement Sensors Protect Merchandise and Assets in Retail Environments

One thing that all brick-and-mortar retail establishments have in common is the need to monitor the movements of store merchandise and business assets. Managers need to know when merchandise is safely where it is supposed to be and when it is being moved to a location where it should not be. Unauthorized movement could indicate a theft in
