French wireless sensor networks company, BeanAir, is now represented locally by Instrotech. BeanAir’s technology is based on IEEE 802.15.4 and GSM/GPRS wireless protocol and is present on advanced WSN applications auch as embedded measurement, engineering structure and technical building management, industrial process as well as isolated sites and harsh environments.
The company manufactures wireless sensors for both dynamic (accelerometer, strain gauge) as well as static measurement (temperature, force, tilt). BeanAir’s non-intrusive, low power wireless measurement offering comprises:
* Humidity wireless sensor: Measures humidity, relative humidity, moisture within porous elements in order to ascertain the air quality inside the building
* Wireless temperature sensor: measurement of ambient air temperature, surface temperature, find heat losses and reduce internal heat loads.
* Wireless electrical measurement device: current loop, voltage measurement of peak power consumption and power leak detection.
* Wireless flow sensor: detects water leaks in pipes.
* Wireless pressure sensor: measures atmospheric pressure, liquid pressure, detect and measure airflow and locate water leaks in pipes.
* Computer system: display and configure wireless sensors network from a Web server, real time wireless sensor monitoring.
* The wireless sensors coordinator: builds and supervises the wireless sensor networks.
“Instrotech’s representation of BeanAir is a great addition to our service offering. There is synergy between our corporate philosophies of service delivery and technical excellence that makes us proud to represent BeanAir in southern Africa,” says Paul Mason, Instrotech’s managing director.
