The range of data logging sensors and sensor gateways allows users to measure, record, and analyze a variety of environmental variables, including temperature, humidity, CO2, and occupancy. This enables a clear and rapid understanding of the conditions affecting everything from a greenhouse to a residential complex. The flexible, cost-effective sensors and gateways are suitable for a wide range of industries, including facilities management, energy management, data centers, social housing, and agriculture.
Purrmetrix allows up to 200 small, lightweight sensors to connect wirelessly to the Purrmetrix gateway, which sends real-time data to Purrmetrix servers. The system is flexible, allowing users to place sensors precisely where needed and configure them quickly and easily, enabling them to go from opening the sensor box to receiving data within half an hour. A comprehensive suite of analysis templates, including heat maps and waterfall charts, allows users to visualize real-time data graphically and reproduce conditions over any selected time period. The low-power sensors have a battery life of approximately three years.
Because the data is presented in real time, it can be used for continuous (and consistent) monitoring, reporting, logging, analysis, and measurement. The data can also be linked to email alerts or exported from the system via an API to other cloud-based services, such as BMS, CAFM, task managers, or any other IoT platform.
The main advantages of Purrmetrix systems include:
• Extremely quick to install and configure
• Wireless, allowing sensors to be placed exactly where needed
• Environmental data is precisely positioned on building plans or models
• Notifications and analytics are available for many types of live environmental data
• The API integrates analytics with task management software or building services controls
• Competitive cost relative to data logging products
Simon Meadmore, Global Head of Semiconductors at Premier Farnell and Farnell element14, said: “The cost advantages and ease of installation of Purrmetrix data logging systems mean that multiple data points can be used to present better information for decision-making quickly and without prior experience. Purrmetrix will change the way environmental data is collected, visualized, and used, putting the power of data directly into the hands of end users.”.
