Case Study: DataNet mesh Wireless ZigBee Network

3 large storage facilities in separate cities with perishable pharmaceuticals.
Temperature must be measured wirelessly but external RF interference threatened data loss.

Requirements:
Online multiple point monitoring and alert system
Wireless to avoid costly infrastructure, but reliable RF transmission.

Solution:
DataNet provides bi-directional intelligent data logging system.
Overcomes RF interference
Recovers any data losses.

Method:
Multiple DataNet units with external PT100 temperature probes monitor ambient temperature every 15 minutes. Repeaters are used to cover distances of 200 to 300m inside the warehouse. Data is weekly exported to excel using the newly launched DataLab historical reporting feature.

Teva Reports:
Recently the true extent of the data loss recovery was tested when the PC was defected for a day, whilst the system continued to log data. Once up and running, all data was recovered and automatically transferred to the PC.
