Lora LoRa is a spread spectrum wireless technology, developed by Semtech Corporation. It has been developed to allow long distance transmission of low rate data. The low rate data is collected by remote field sensors and actuators, and is used for Internet of Things and M2M applications. Lora uses the 868 Mhz unlicensed radio spectrum, …
Pouring water on an Induction Motor may stop it working, due to the lowering of the insulation resistance of the internal motor coil windings.
What is it The Things Network is a worldwide crowd funded LoraWAN Internet Of Things Network, which started in Amsterdam. It consists of sensors, such as air quality sensors that transmit data wirelessly via ‘Gateway’ devices to the Internet Cloud. It is rapidly expanding around the world, including the UK. Why do we need this …
Condition Monitoring Smart factories improve automation and efficiency compared to traditional factories. LoraWAN is one type of LPWAN wireless technology. Efficiency is increased both through process decisions being made without human intervention. Efficiency is also increased by using sensor data to monitor the condition of machinery, such as three-phase induction motors. Monitoring of induction motors, …
Preventive maintenance programmes are the key to reliable, long-life operation of electric motors.
Whilst AC Induction Motors are particularly reliable in service, almost all electrical equipment requires periodic planned inspection and maintenance
A LoraWAN Gateway is a device that receives (and potentially sends) the wireless data from your lora enabled sensors, and then connects it to the Internet. These sensors are typically low powered devices capable of detecting such things as moisture of the soil, pollution levels, or pretty much whatever you wish to measure. The LoraWAN …
Lincoln Farmer Recently we were contacted by a farmer, based just outside of the city of Lincoln, Lincolnshire. He had had a system supplied and installed by another company a few years ago, however, the performance had decreased over time. The first task was to carry out a through audit of the installed equipment. This …
