FleetRSM - Wireless Remote Site Monitoring Telemetry
Remote Site Monitoring & Management Telemetry Solution
Ayantra - a leading developer of remote asset management solutions has created a solution for managing remote sites.
The Challenge:
Remote facilities such as cell towers and pump stations are typically unattended and distributed over a wide geographic area. Facilities managers must be immediately informed if any critical events occur, including:
- Loss of power
- Equipment failure
- Intrusion and/or equipment theft
Managing remote sites is a difficult task. Ayantra can help.
The Solution:
Ayantra's FleetRSM is a web-based wireless solution for managing remote sites. It continually monitors the availability of main power at the remote site, and offers six user-configurable digital inputs for reporting critical events. Alert Notifications are issued in real-time and can be delivered as text messages and/or email messages. FleetRSM even includes one digital output to provide Remote Start / Stop capabilities.
The FleetRSM solution consists of:
- An Ayantra monitoring unit installed at the remote site
- An Ayantra-provided wireless communications to/from each remote unit.
- An Ayantra-provided website to enable managers collect Status Reports, specify Alert Notifications, send Remote Commands, and more.
Features
- POWER MONITORING: Each FleetRSM monitoring unit continually checks main power and immediately reports Loss of Power events as they occur.
- DIGITAL INPUTS: Each FleetRSM monitoring unit provides six user-configurable digital inputs. Each input can be configured to report any type of Fault condition or other type of event. Authorized users can access the website to define each input.
- DIGITAL OUTPUT: Each FleetRSM monitoring also includes one digital output. The digital output can be used to drive a relay, which in turn can be used to command onsite equipment such as a generator or a pump. The end result is that FleetRSM can provide a Remote Start / Stop capability for managing certain types of remote onsite equipment.
- AUTOMATIC REPORTING: Each FleetRSM monitoring unit sends a Daily Heartbeat message to report the status of its remote site. The regularly-scheduled Daily Heartbeat messages are also supplemented with real-time updates which are issued immediately upon detection of any critical event.
- REAL-TIME ALERT NOTIFICATIONS: Each FleetRSM monitoring unit sends real-time updates upon detecting Fault events. Authorized users can specify up to eight recipients for each type of Alert Notification. The Alert Notifications can be delivered as text messages and/or as email messages.
- REAL-TIME UPDATES: Authorized users can access the website to “ping” any remote monitoring unit at any time to collect an up-to-the-minute status update..
- HISTORY LOG: The data in the FleetRSM database is retained for twelve months. The data can also be exported at any time.
- BACKUP BATTERY: The FleetRSM monitoring includes an integrated backup battery to enable it to immediately report a Loss of Power event, and to continue operating for a short time even after main power is lost.
- WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS: FleetRSM operates wirelessly, and can provide remote monitoring capabilities without requiring leased lines or other Telco services at any remote site.
