Sensaphone recently exhibited at the International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition (or AHR Expo) in Atlanta. It's the world’s largest HVACR event, bringing together industry professionals from around the world to share ideas, showcase new technology and discuss trends. This year’s expo was a huge success with more than 45,000 people attending.
Improving Monitoring at Water and Wastewater Treatment Facilities
One of the biggest challenges of monitoring multiple water and wastewater facilities is maintaining real-time visibility of critical conditions at all sites. Facilities need to provide safe drinking water and protect the environment from contaminants. That means water and wastewater treatment plants have to ensure continuous monitoring of conditions like pump status and tank level.
Protecting Your Greenhouse From Temperature Extremes
To keep your plants alive and thriving, it's essential to continually monitor greenhouse temperatures. Most greenhouse plants only grow properly within a certain temperature range. If plants are exposed to extreme temperatures for an extended period of time, they can suffer permanent damage. Plants lose water quickly in extreme heat. And if the heaters aren’t working on cold winter nights, frost can damage greenhouse plants.
When the power goes out at your facility, threatening important inventory, data and property, how long does it take you to find out? If your business requires immediate notification of a power failure, consider installing a remote monitoring system. A remote monitoring system provides continuous monitoring of all environmental conditions, including temperature, humidity, CO2 levels, and water leaks. But what many people don’t realize is that it can also function as a power outage monitoring device.
When you’re responsible for monitoring critical server equipment, issues can't wait for your attention. And these issues go beyond ensuring the health of the data itself. You need a system that can notify you immediately about high room temperatures, power outages, water damage and other issues so that you can take fast, corrective action.
Maintaining a proper temperature is essential to protecting perishable food items stored in refrigerators or freezers. Food that isn’t stored properly can spoil or become contaminated. Sixty million tons of food is wasted in North America every year, with 22 percent lost after production and before consumption. Monitoring food storage temperatures can help you minimize food waste and ensure food safety.
Many facilities rely on their employees to manually monitor food storage temperatures and critical conditions. However, this method of monitoring is not only time-consuming, but expensive. Not to mention, your..
Security systems help protect your home and family from intruders and notify you when they detect smoke or CO. They can provide peace of mind and alert you to some potential dangers. But these systems won’t notify you of other potential home disasters, such as temperatures rising or falling to dangerous levels.
Remote temperature monitoring is critical to preventing damage when temperatures get too high or too low. Power outages and equipment malfunctions can cause heaters or air conditioners to fail without warning at your vacation home, cabin, cottage or unattended property. Without a home temperature monitor, you..
Selecting the Right Sensors for Cleanroom Monitoring
Many manufacturing and research processes require a clean production environment where operators can control factors like temperature, airflow, humidity and airborne particulates. These work areas must maintain specific parameters to ensure that environmental conditions don't compromise the products in any way.
When controlled environments don’t meet standards to prevent particle contamination, operators must maintain designated cleanrooms. Operations that require cleanrooms include electronics production, pharmaceutical processes, medical and scientific research, aerospace manufacturing and optics development.
