As the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) continues to help drive technological innovation, Parker is rolling out new Cloud-based and high-strain sensors to the condition monitoring sensors market. At the 2016 Sensors Expo, Parker introduced new solutions in the form of SensoNODE Gold sensors, SCOUT Cloud software, and the SensoNODE High-Strain sensor.
SensoNODE Gold
Due for roll out at the beginning of next year, SensoNODE Gold is the latest addition to the SensoNODE family and pushes the limits of condition monitoring even further than before.
As a Cloud-based wireless condition monitoring solution, asset health data is readily available anywhere anytime. In addition, with the new SCOUT Cloud software downloaded to a mobile device, users can access that information in the palm of their hand, whether they are on the plant floor, aboard a flight or meeting with clients overseas.
SensoNODE High-Strain sensor
Energy-efficient, lightweight, conformable and durable, SensoNODE High-Strain sensors feature electroactive polymer technology (EAP); a stretchable polymer that takes accurate measurements and readings while being strained over 100% for millions of cycles. This technology creates new, innovative possibilities for:
• Industrial – elastomer joints and seals, conveyer systems, hydraulic accumulators, linear actuators, mechanical effectors and pneumatic cylinders.
• Medical – physical rehabilitation, monitoring vital functions and gauging motion.
• Wearables – sports, fitness, training and gaming.
