The key to cellular connectivity Monitor indoor and outdoor air quality, Environmental factors in highly regulated industries.
Soracom, Inc., a global provider of advanced IoT connectivity, today announced that Charge Analytics has selected Soracom to provide mission-critical cellular IoT connectivity for remote monitoring systems deployed in highly regulated industrial environments, such as construction, manufacturing, mining, and chemical production.
These systems transmit real-time indoor and outdoor industrial plant data (such as air quality, pressure, temperature, air flow, humidity, and other indicators) to a secure cloud platform for data recording and remote access, analysis, and technical support.
A reliable IoT connection is particularly important for Charge Analytics, because the locations monitored by its customers are usually located in remote areas. Even in places where some Wi-Fi coverage may be provided, such as factories or power plants, it is not always possible to establish a connection and maintain a connection to these networks, and may create potential security risks.
Charge Analytics chooses Soracom Provide a reliable cellular connection and simplify the process of sending data to the cloud, wherever monitoring is required. Another priority of Charge Analytics is to keep the upfront hardware costs and subscription fees to a minimum, while providing a powerful system that is easy to install and operate. Simplicity is of the utmost importance, allowing customers to quickly realize cost and time savings while improving safety and operational efficiency.
In addition to providing a multi-carrier plan specifically priced for low data volumes, Soracom also provides the ability to “sleep” the SIM card between testing and deployment, resulting in significant cost savings.
“In many highly regulated industries, continuous air quality monitoring is a critical task, so reliable connections are required,” Said Gerry Kaelin, Business Development Director of Charge Analytics. “It enables important factory data to be conveniently and remotely accessed from any device and any location.”
“Soracom has worked closely with us to determine the connectivity features that best meet our needs and are the key to our rapid start-up and expansion,” Said Ed Cline, the founder and technical director of Charge Analytics. “Their technical support is excellent.”
The ability of Charge Analytics to help customers provide real-time expert technical assistance from any location in the world through Soracom connectivity provides an important advantage that helps ensure compliance with environmental standards and maximize overall plant efficiency. These hazardous environments are also subject to strict supervision, and if air quality standards are not maintained, it may have a potential impact on claims, litigation and regulatory actions.
Kenta Yasukawa, co-founder and CTO of Soracom said:
“Emerging solutions such as advanced IoT monitoring and control systems are critical to helping us all meet the demand for healthier and safer workspaces.”
“Our mission is to serve IoT innovators such as Charge Analytics by providing strong connectivity and expert support so that they can fully control their network, easily connect to the cloud of their choice, and deploy from hundreds of devices Expand to millions of units.”
