System Features
Complete Hardware Monitoring Solution -
Sensors for electric power consumption, water, gas, temperature, humidity, light, etc. including pulse input wireless nodes enabling data acquisition from typical gas or water gauges.
Multi-functional Software Package -
The flash-based application is simple to operate, allowing intuitive data viewing. The graphical displays enable identification of total and individual local power consumption instantly. Data can be exported to CSV format, permitting easy report creation. The system offers real-time monitoring and data logging, with built-in alert capability when sensor data exceeds the predetermined threshold.
Low-cost Installation -
Compared to current wired systems, installation or layout changes take a significantly shorter time, leading to increased cost savings. Crossbow's XMesh enables a multi-hopping ad-hoc network between sensor nodes to relay data back to the base station. If the wireless connection is interrupted, thesystem will automatically re-route to ensure complete data transfer from all nodes to the base station. The sensor nodes are built on the NeoMote product from Sumitomo Precision Products who have deployed over 30,000 nodes for customized industrialsensing.
Pricing and Availability
EcoWizard is priced competitively. The system will be immediately available for purchase in November 2009. Sales inquiries may be directed to sales@xbow.jp
