1. Bluetooth-enabled Mobile Terminal for Access Control
Customer has created a Mobile access control system that allows access
allows for Employees or visitors to be identified with a fingerprint
scanner. This system allows for a more convenient access control for
companies to better secure their infrastructures.
By making use of any one of Sena Technologies Parani-SD, Customer was
able to build a Mobile Access Control unit that provides seamless security
control with ease of implementation, while providing maximum security.
Solutions: Parani-SD100
and
Parani-SD200
Benefits:
- Low-Cost solutions allowing you develop mobile security devices,
while providing wireless communication and ease of implementation with
today's high tech Security Systems.
- Allows for easy setup and maintenance to minimize potential
downtime.
- Optional antennas allow for wireless data transfer of distances up
to 1 km.
2. Remote Management of Elevator Control Systems
An Elevator's control unit manages the day to day operations inside an
elevator. With the need to be up to date with today's smart building
control systems, Elevator manufacturers need to provide a system that
allows customers to integrate their Elevator's controls with their
building's control systems.
By making use of any one of Sena Technologies serial device servers,
Elevator Manufacturers can build systems to control and monitor components
of elevator systems, and provide better remote management, and reduce the
need for repair technician making multiple trips.
Solutions: LS100,
LS110,
PS110,
PS410,
PS810,
SS100,
STS400,
STS800 and
STS1600
Benefits:
- Allows users to cost-effectively Ethernet enable existing Elevator
control systems.
- Easy access and quick device configuration of the HelloDevice, by
way of a Web Browser, telnet.
- Flexibility to remotely monitor and control and monitor Elevator
control Systems.
- Allows for easy setup and maintenance to minimize potential
downtime during upgrades or expansion of their network.
3. Device Server puts home automation devices on the Network
Customer: Home Central. (http://www.homecentral.net)
Home Central started in 2003 and began installing their first customers
in January 2004. Home Central is a home management service that allows
customers to view and control security systems, surveillance cameras,
thermostats, lighting controls and other devices from any internet
connection with any internet enabled device.
Home Central provides communication to the important systems in your
home, which are networked together via a home network. The systems in the
home communicate to Home Central Servers to make it possible for you to
centralize, monitor and control what's going on in your home from any
Internet connection.
Home Central's Easy to use home automation system uses an Easy-to-use
web interface to control all aspects of the home (Security, surveillance,
HVAC, lighting, etc.). Since all of Home Central's systems are network
based, the PS100/200 allowed Home Central to network enable their
Thermostats and Security Pin Pads within a home, thus allowing the
temperature and security of the home to be controlled from a remote
location.
Solutions: PS110,
PS410,
and
PS810
Benefits:
- Allows users to network enable security and home automation
devices that were previously not able to be network enabled, and also
easy integration into today's already networked home environments.
- Allows users the flexibility of using encryption to secure
Ethernet communications to the outside world.
- By using Sena's own Locating Server feature, allows user's to
track the Pro Series IP addresses when in a Dynamic IP environment.
4. Device Server puts Building HVAC Systems on the Network
HVAC manufacturers are always trying to find ways to better manage and
control their HVAC systems. Many of today's HVAC systems have centralized
control panels that require technicians to travel to each building to
maintain.
By making use of any one of Sena Technologies serial device servers,
HVAC System Manufacturers can centralize HVAC systems to control and
monitor the environment of buildings, and provide seamless and remote
management and control, which translates to, reduced operating costs and
less down-time.
Solutions: PS110,
PS410,
PS810,
SS100,
STS400,
STS800 and
STS1600
Benefits:
- Allows users to network enable HVAC control systems that were
previously not able to be network enabled, and also easy transition
into today's already networked office environments.
- Allows users the flexibility of using encryption to secure
Ethernet communications to the outside world.
- Flexibility to remotely monitor and control and monitor various
HVAC Systems.
- Allows for easy setup and maintenance to minimize potential
downtime during upgrades or expansion of their network.
5. TCP/IP based Bridge Monitoring System
In the past, Sensors placed on the bridge had been connected to field
computers, which are in turn linked to a host computer using RS232 serial
lines.
As today's computing environment becomes increasingly complex and is
subjected to ongoing change, Sena has introduced TCP/IP technology into
modern bridge monitoring systems (BMS) in the areas of Sensor monitoring
and data acquisition.
By using the "HelloDevice SS100" in the new system, sensor readings are
being recorded and analyzed, and results are stored in the field
computer's memory, where they can be uploaded to the host on command.
Solutions: SS100
Benefits:
- The HelloDevice SS100 facilitates Real-time data monitoring that
allows assessment of individual lift cycles, making it possible to sit
and watch the strain gages and clinometers indicate the stresses and
movements of the bridge during its hourly lift cycle.
