Monitoring Soil Activity

In Indonesia, soil activity is continuously monitored to predict landslides in advance. This highly sensitive equipment is installed deep in the jungle and is checked and read on average once every sixteen months. The computers used for this purpose come from our Swiss supplier MPL and are energy-efficient, compact, and designed to operate in this extremely humid environment.

Digital Ring Scans All Cars

Since 2008, Amsterdam has used 53 cameras on all access roads to the city to keep highly polluting vehicles out and improve air quality. This system only activates when there is a “hit”: data from other road users is not stored. These cameras are controlled by the so-called PIP22-series embedded computers from Swiss manufacturer MPL. We chose MPL and this series of embedded computers for their reliability and long lead time. The systems operate at temperatures ranging from -40 °C to +75 °C. Ultimately, the systems reduced the maintenance budget by 50%, simply because they do not fail.

Gas Flow Meter

For one of our customers in the gas industry, we developed a redundant system for monitoring gas supply. Gas transport cannot be halted, so measuring the gas quantity must always be guaranteed. A redundant system with an internal UPS was developed to ensure this. The systems we developed with our Swiss supplier MPL can be delivered identically for 10 years and come with Hot Swap RAID and dual video output, specifically for this customer.

Tunnel Monitoring System Westerschelde

During the construction of a road tunnel, the safety of workers and local residents is the highest priority. To ensure this safety, rugged computer systems are used that can detect soil vibrations and shifts. The systems must have extremely high reliability. In case of a power failure, the systems must still be able to send emergency signals via Wi-Fi and the 3G network. To achieve this, the system is internally equipped with an uninterruptible power supply, Wi-Fi, and 3G modules. To support remote monitoring, the system is also equipped with Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports that provide power to external routers.

Managing the Groundwater Level

Over the past decade, our customer has developed a reliable, high-quality Saas solution. This solution consists of a central IoT server and a series of controllers. This solution can be used, among other things, for managing groundwater levels.
The controllers are intelligent modems or Remote Terminal Units that can connect devices to a central server over almost any distance, such as PLC controllers, sensors and measuring devices, external databases, etc.
The controllers can be connected to third-party control systems without altering existing programs or configurations.
Due to the unique features of the solution, our customer has been gathering high-quality BIG data for years. This enables analysts and scientists to work on making processes more efficient and sustainable.
