Automated data collection telemetry can be approached as either individual sites, networked sites, or a “network of networks”. The key to successful and sustainable monitoring programs is to select the right equipment to meet current needs, while having the potential for future adaptability and flexibility. Selecting the right telemetry depends on the type of information needed, placement of data collection, and availability of communication services, such as cellular availability or high speed internet. The diagram below highlights various options available through automated data collection.
Distribution WIN sells technology solutions which range from automated telemetry equipment to individual sensors for existing networks / equipment as well as full service installations and programs.
