Don't Get Caught With Your Pants Down! IoT Environmental Sensors Can Protect You

Early Fire Warning System by Kentix, Germany

Be it an overloaded cable or power supply or a smoldering resistor or aged capacitor that is smoldering softly and about to give up, all of these cases have one thing in common. There are measurable yet still very faint signs of carbonization without full oxidation that create minuscule but quickly raising levels of CO (Carbon monoxide) sudden rise in air particles (smoke)  that may not be detected by regular smoke and CO detectors that usually detect trip alarms at much higher levels.

How can this be harnessed to create an additional level of security in areas that are particularly critical to your business?

Another question one will ask oneself is would I even need such a system if my building's special UL certified fire alarm system and the CO sensors in the boiler room and heater  areas are going to be more than enough?

The answer is no. Standard commercial fire detection systems are designed to not provide too many false alarms like from some cigarette smoke coming in from the guy smoking next to the door. The toaster burning crumbs in the kitchen and other similar false alarms. In special secure and enclosed spaces like server rooms and data closets used for phone systems, PBX or managing your business security cameras, POE Switches, Network Switches or NAS storage devices it is possible to deploy much more sensitive local sensors that can alert of impending disaster before it strikes.

Kentix created a SmartMonitoring solution based around its line of IoT environmental sensors the MultiSensors to protect your valuable assets against these potentially preventable possible catastrophes. You can now provide maximum security with minimum effort to your end-users by recommending them to deploy the Kentix MultiSensor family in their in-building wiring closets, server rooms, utility rooms, storage areas and more.

Industrial plants have lots of areas that contain different machines, connectivity and power switching that also can affect sensitive data, the loss or manipulation of which would result in significant losses. Recovery and rebuying of equipment that could have been salvaged with earlier notice would have saved a lot of time and money. 

If data is lost, penalties or loss of reputation add up. Learn how to monitor all your data and  industrial facilities for up to 37 hazards with Kentix MultiSensor® technology.

IPTECHVIEW has created a central remote management platform for all KENTIX units deployed to make initial deployment, set up, configuration and lifelong management and configuration much easier and fully remote.

Not only will you have an early monitoring if any of this  early warning  equipment is not responsive but you also have the means to remotely check why it is not working and most likely you will be able to in most cases remotely fix the problems do remote updates and more.

The new Kentix MultiSensor TI goes even further by including a thermal imaging sensor which in addition to even earlier potential fire detection, also has the ability to show you visually where exactly the problem may be.

KENTIX Data like temperature and humidity alerts also show in IPTECHVIEW's  floor plan module our Blueprint AR   (for Augmented Reality).
