A look at AppBlocks’s Monitoring Capabilities
Monitoring your environment and physical processes is crucial for smart industrial applications. AppBlocks provides powerful capabilities to give you actionable data about the world around your devices.
With AppBlocks and TPS, you can precisely monitor a wide array of environmental and operational parameters.
Environmental
Monitor critical environmental factors to maintain optimal conditions, ensure safety, and enhance efficiency
- Temperature: Track temperatures in server rooms, cold storage, industrial ovens, or agricultural settings.
- Humidity: Monitor moisture levels to prevent condensation, mold, or material degradation.
- CO2: Ensure healthy air quality in workspaces or optimal growth conditions in greenhouses.
- Liquid Level: Accurately measure fluid levels in tanks, reservoirs, or sumps to prevent overflows or dry runs.
- Water Quality: Monitor pH, turbidity, and other parameters for industrial processes or agricultural irrigation.
- Soil Moisture Optimize irrigation schedules for smart farming and landscaping applications.
Presence & Motion
Detect movement, unauthorized access, or critical physical events to enhance security and operational awareness.
- Flood Detection: Receive immediate alerts for water leaks in critical areas, preventing costly damage.
- Vibration & Tilting Detection: Monitor machinery for abnormal vibrations or detect unwanted movement of assets.
- Ingress Monitoring: Keep track of entries and exits, or detect unauthorized access to restricted areas.
Industrial Processes
Optimize your operations by monitoring key aspects of industrial machinery and air quality.
- Cycle Counting for Machine Operations: Precisely count production cycles for accurate output tracking and maintenance scheduling.
- AC Detection: Monitor the presence or absence of alternating current for power status or equipment operation.
- Particle Monitoring for Air Quality: Track airborne particulate matter in sensitive environments, such as clean rooms or manufacturing facilities.
