Deploy multi-sensor devices in the field without having to worry about devices, connectivity, protocols, or security. The solution is built to tackle a number of different IoT use cases, from tracking a mobile asset to monitoring an asset's health and diagnostics.
The Critical Asset Sensor was made to get you from proof of concept to production quickly for many different use cases. The solution can adapt to numerous verticals and deliver meaningful business outcomes. Here are just a few ways it can be used.
Predictive maintenance
Device retro-fitted inside an older elevator, vibration triggers alert to technicians.
Environmental monitoring
Devices can be deployed in agricultural fields to monitor temperature conditions.
Supply Chain Visibility
Device attached to food/beverage shipments can monitor safe environmental conditions from production to delivery.
Asset Utilization
Sensor is installed inside water and sewer systems to detect pressure and water flow.
Property monitoring
Devices wired inside a basement detect high levels of moisture. Triggers alerts to insurance company back-office.
To make integration with your existing cloud deployments even easier, ThingSpace has partnered with the leading cloud services providers. ThingSpace Cloud Connectors allows you to send data directly to your existing IoT platforms and infrastructure, saving hours of development time. You can also send data to any cloud platform using our data stream APIs, giving you complete flexibility to deploy and ingest data from the Critical Asset Sensor to your custom business intelligence platforms.
Leverage our APIs to automatically manage registration, deployment, and operation of devices at scale. Also use our APIs to retrieve and update device properties even when the devices are not connected.
The Critical Asset Sensor device comes with up to eight sensors and GPS capabilities. You can leverage all of the sensors or just the ones you need for your use case.
