Box Telematics and with Luxoft Labs have jointly developed a ZigBee-based wireless sensor solution that allows building measurement. Thanks to this cutting-edge technology, real-time data are available over a web based solution, allowing accurate and efficient building assessment while saving significant manual labour costs. Vasiliy Suvorov, Managing Director of Luxoft Labs, said: 'The pervasive internet revolution is in the making and no industry will remain unchanged'.
'A number of small sensor devices all communicating using ZigBee protocol allows real-time data collection'.
'Companies spend a lot of resources in building evaluation to enable advances in building materials and design'.
'Typical investigations involve at least two professional engineers and may take anywhere from a few months to few years'.
The wireless MeshNetics nodes with differing measurement sensors are placed in and around buildings.
They form an ad-hoc mesh network, using MeshNetics ZigBee stack software, and transmit data through a master node using GPRS to the monitoring company's server.
The data are then stored in a server and reports are made available on any Internet enabled PC.
The whole process is completely automated.
Charles Joel, Project Leader at Box Telematics, added: 'Wireless M2M technology is the future of remote measurement'.
'Delivering the latest M2M hardware and Boxgateway web based software; its continual investigation and delivery of ground breaking 'wire-free' connectivity Box Telematics stay at the forefront of technology by working with Luxoft Labs and its MeshNetics technology'.
'Remote building measurement delivers high value data via the Boxgateway, enabling quick and accurate data decisions without the need for on site engineering evaluation'.
