Remote Advertisement Systems

Video – GPRS Device Server can be connected to most Video Display devices like TV, Monitor or LCD using appropriate adapter and Video/Graphical advertisements can be displayed with complete control and synchronization from web server. Video Advertisements can be stored inside the GPRS device server and updated or selected from the web.

Digital Signage – Intelligent modems and routers provide access to digital signs. Content delivery provides telemetry solutions at the system level.

Remote Asset Management

Asset management & monitoring aids preventative maintenance, replenishment & supply chain logistics to improve customer service & facilitate business change. Our GPRS device can be connected to your remote assets like Generators, Printers, equipments etc. and they can be managed and monitored form the central website.

Asset management and asset maintenance of equipment at remote locations is supported manually by field service engineers. Greater work force and operational efficiency is required to achieve more with fewer resources, comply with the Working Time Directive and reduce costs. The solution lies with asset management that automatically derives real-time status and usage information by monitoring field equipment. It enables the optimization of enterprise supply chain logistics for stock and consumable replenishment. Rather than reacting to “aged problems”, businesses can change through a pre-emptive and preventative maintenance approach to minimize downtime and improve customer service.

Our GPRS Device server can be connected to your remote assets for real time monitoring and management.

* Improved equipment maintenance operations enable a business change from reactive to predictive and preventative maintenance.
* Fast response to problems minimizes downtime and improves customer service.
* Equipment rental and lease equipment enhanced control reduces losses and enables charges to be levied on usage and abuse.
* Stock and consumables replenishment real-time knowledge aids inventory management.
* Supply chain management and logistics operations become more efficient.
* Asset audit trails & tracking helps to fulfill regulatory obligations e.g. Sarbanes-Oxley, health & safety, European working time directive, HACCP
* Enhances managed service-based offerings for ongoing revenues e.g. wrapping asset maintenance with the product, supplying consumables, pay-as you-use, equipment rental and lease business models.
* Facilitates business change management in the work place as business processes, job roles and business models change to embrace service growth.

Technical Services Automation – Enabling field service operators to enhance operations through real-time machine status. Our GPRS device server connected to your machines at customer sites allow your to monitor their real-time performance and service issues. You can take preventive maintenance actions, Dispatch service team even before your customers inform you, know the problem in advance and get the machine working again quickly.

Trial Machines – Machine manufacturers and consumable suppliers can optimise performance and logistics prior to product release. You can develop prototypes that are connected to GPRS device server and monitor their onsite performance and problems. This data can be used to come up with more optimized products faster instead of present system where total time spent in testing can delay your product launch by few months.

Remote PLC Management

Any PLC with Serial or Ethernet interfaces can be connected to GPRS device server and its status and performance parameters monitored form a website.

Remote Wireless Camera

GPRS Device server can be connected to wide range of USB web cameras approved by us. The snap taken form the web cam can be sent to you on mobile phone,  email or uploaded on the website at regular intervals. This allow you to place remote wireless camera at any location and receive images at regular interval anywhere in the world.

Vehicle Monitoring

- Current Vehicle tracking systems just allow you to capture GPS data and track your vehicle but our GPRS Device server can connect to GPS Receiver, Connect to Camera & Mic in the Vehicle, Connect to Barcode/RFID Reader for Goods tracking and is flexible enough to incorporate your future requirements.

Bluetooth Active RFID System

GPRS Device server can act like a Bluetooth RFID Reader. It can be installed at various Parking lots, Entry gate and various locations in the campus. It can reader Bluetooth device IDs and report them to the web server along with its own location. Allowing you to track your vehicles, employee, visitors etc. At all entry systems you can issue Active Bluetooth tags/cards to the visitors and they will be tracked where-ever they go in the office/campus. When they exit, the card/tags can be taken back. Bluetooth tags can work for 3-5 days on single recharge and very good for internal tracking.

RFID controller

GPRS device server if connected to RFID system will upload RFID tag data to the web based system in real-time. This will allow you to monitor your inventory movement at various warehouses all over the region from the single website.

Wireless Home Alarm

- GPRS device server is one of the most advanced Wireless Home Alarm, It can connect to latest Zigbee meshing Sensors, Camera or old wireless PIR, Door/Window sensors and provide you with the advanced security for your home, office and factory.

Remote Alarm Monitoring – enabling installers and service providers to monitor sensors and alarms at remote sites.

Zigbee Home/Office/Industrial automation

GPRS device server can act like Zigbee Gateway to allow home, building, office and Industrial automation solutions based on Zigbee. Zigbee is new technology to create mesh network of sensors like temperature, pressure, motion detectors etc. If you purchase sensors based on Zigbee standards then our gateway will communicate with them and provide their data on the web acting as Zigbee to web gateway.

Automatic Meter Reading (AMR)

GPRS Device Server provide simple solutions, whereby a central application polls the meter using protocols such as IEC 1107. Our GPRS device server has multiple options for inputs and can work with very wide range of Meters. In certain conditions where old meter has no way to provide its data, you can connect a low cost camera that can take a close snap of the display of the meter and provide it your staff on the website for interpretation. Using several such ideas our AMR system can work with several systems worldwide. Most other AMR solutions are highly specific to their applications but ours will suit all your requirements quickly.

Vending Telemetry Solutions

Automatic vending refers to sales from machines, which are available to dispense a range of goods and services 24 hours a day. Our GPRS device server and report uptime, usage and inventory of such machine in real-time to the web based system for centralized management.

Beverage System Monitoring

Beverage dispense equipment can be monitored through M2M communication including fonts, chillers, coolers, carbonators, pumps and compressors. This include Beer dispensing machines, Tea/Coffee dispensing machines. You can monitor their uptime, usage, service issues and maintenance.

Cold chain solutions

Transportation of chilled and frozen foods requires temperature monitoring within the cold chain. M2M telemetry solutions ensure food standards are not compromised during transit. GPRS device server is connected to your temperature, humidity sensors and continuously report the data to web based system.

Remote Temperature Monitoring – System level telemetry solutions enabling OEMs and VARs to monitor temperatures remotely.

Remote communication – If you have remote branch offices, sites without any network connectivity, you can use our GPRS device server as s router that can allow your communication devices onsite to directly report their data to your website in real-time. Exchange files, photographs, live data and day-t-day transactions in real-time.
