Mission |
To provide innovative and reliable solution for Remote monitoring and management of distributed critical infrastructure in a cost effective manner. The data collected over an Always On distributed network can help companies maintain a high uptime of operation.
Over last year Powertech has developed new technology, Powertech GreenTM, which links the data captured by remote monitoring systems to energy usage and efficiency patterns of the remote infrastructure components and subsystems. Powertech GreenTM generates key information for the infrastructure companies to manage their carbon footprint by taking preventive actions and phasing out older systems with newer greener systems. |
|
Key Components |
Remote monitoring and management involves providing a unified framework for collecting, analyzing, monitoring and controlling of key remote parameters. These parameters are required for reliable operation of remote infrastructure sites. Implementation of Remote infrastructure monitoring and management can be broken down into following sub-problems: |
|
|
 Sensors for monitoring and controlling remote environment with alarm generation capability
Remote Server with capability of collecting data from the sensors, handling alarms and setting up remote environment
Communication interfaces and topology enabling remote server to collect data from multitude of sensor
Central server for aggregation, analysis, management of data generated from remote environment
sPowertech GreenTM provides key analysis of real-time data to manage carbon footprint

Potential markets |
Remote monitoring and management solutions can be applied to following rapidly growing industries: |
|
| |
Wireless Communication which is delivered by rapidly growing number of base-stations. Each of the base station needs to have uptime of 99.9% or more and for proper working of switches installed in these “shelters” proper temperature, humidity, voltage level, current, battery health etc. Cellular phone Service providers outsource the infrastructure development and management to infrastructure companies and these companies are in turn interested in monitoring and controlling these remote sites. It is expected the number of shelters will grow from current number of 125000 to 420000.
Railways and Transportation industry is in process of deploying GPS based systems to increase reliability and timeliness of the delivery of goods etc
Power sector
Cold storage containers
Surveillance from theft and other hazard in godowns, multistoried buildings etc.
Many more
