Pain Point Solutions

Pain Point Common to all Applications Prohibitively high-priced integration of monitoring, telemetry and automation technologies to work in remote areas with no power sources and limited network coverage T-BOX solution: Integration – Complete monitoring, telemetry and automation functionality is provided in a single package. Functionality including SCADA, data logger, dialer, and PLC is included in a single product. T-BOX WM standard enclosure including internal battery further eliminates added costs and scheduling delays due to systems integration work. Ultra low power consumption allows use of low cost, lithium battery or solar power sources. The integral battery in T-BOX WM further reduces costs related to integration, installation, and operation. Integral Web server – Web pages are accessible to users, anytime, anywhere and eliminate the cost of expensive, SCADA software. Web pages impose virtually no learning curve and can also be used for local maintenance operations, thus saving the cost of additional software. Multi-communications – A wide range of integral, data communications equipment (DCEs) means that the RTU will work at all customer locations. Since most data loggers and other products intended for these applications have integrated only one or two DCEs, many customer installations are not covered.

Inefficient routing, expensive fleet managementLive information via push communications allows efficient routing and fleet management. Power is not available at all sitesLow or ultra-low power consumption allows use of low cost, lithium battery or solar power sources. The integral battery in T-BOX WM further reduces costs related to integration, installation, and operation. No communications technology reaches all locationsMulti- communications offering ensures all locations are covered. Monitoring products dont integrate with transmitters for level or pressureT-BOX products support low-power sensors as well as 4 – 20 mA transmitters, while conserving power.

Infrastructure Management Vendor Managed Inventory / Chemical Tank at Manufacturing Facility Summary For the price of a monitoring device, T-BOX WM is a self-powered solution that provides live alarming, historical data, local calculations and complete connectivity.

Water / Wastewater Utilities Combined Sewage Overflow (CSO) Monitoring Lack of timely notification of CSO events resulting in regulatory agency finesPush communications efficiently provide live status information. Alarm management ensures that reports are escalated and recipients are informed. Lack of historical information impedes record-keepingHistorical data on CSO events and status provides information for effective management. Monitoring system is high-maintenance / expensive to operateHighly integrated product provides low-maintenance operation. Monitoring system does not integrate with SCADA system Common protocols such as Modbus ensure integration with most SCADA systems. Push communications can also be very effectively implemented without SCADA integration. Power is not available at all sitesLow or ultra-low power consumption allows use of low cost, lithium battery or solar power sources. The integral battery in T-BOX WM further reduces costs related to integration, installation, and operation.

T-BOX Low Power Product DIFFERENTIATORS Fully integrated (All in one package) Ultra low power Redundant batteries Web technology Push communications Multi-communications Alarm management Historical data logging Simple configuration tools Programmable controls / logic Intelligent End Device (IED) protocols

DIFFERENTIATORS T-BOX Low Power Product Differentiators (1 of 2): Fully integrated – Complete monitoring, telemetry and automation functionality is provided in a single package. T-BOX WM standard enclosure including internal battery eliminates added costs and scheduling delays due to systems integration work. Ultra low power consumption allows use of the lowest cost, lithium battery or solar power sources. T-BOX WM provides long battery life. The integral battery in T-BOX WM further reduces costs related to integration, installation, and operation. Redundant Batteries keep the RTU operating even when one battery fails and provide flexibility in scheduling site visits to replace a battery. Web technology - Integral Web server – Web pages are accessible to users, anywhere, anytime. PC-based Web pages also provide all, local HMI operations when maintenance personnel visit the sites, thus saving the cost of additional software. Push technology – End user operations personnel are immediately notified of alarms and important events without the need for polling the RTU. This takes best advantage of inexpensive data communications plans on public networks. Multi-communications – Our range of integral, data communications equipment (DCEs) means that the RTU will work at all customer locations. Since most data loggers and other products intended for these applications have integrated only one or two DCEs, many customer installations are not covered.

DIFFERENTIATORS T-BOX LP Product Differentiators (2 of 2): Alarm management – The T-BOX alarm system detects alarm conditions and reports them using Push Technology. Alarm management ensures that un-acknowledged alarms will be escalated. Even cellular phone users can acknowledge alarms and send text commands to the T-BOX RTU. Historical data logging – T-BOX data logging capability retains historical information, such as tank levels, in both tabular and trend graph formats and allows users to adapt operations for the highest efficiency. Trends can also assist in maintenance management and continuous improvement. Simple Tools - WebForm Studio – An integral tool for building Web pages considerably speeds the configuration process and ensures there will be no software integration problems. Users will also appreciate that no programming is needed. Programmable control – Even when control functions are not necessary, users very often need to write some code. Our choice of programming via IEC LD (Ladder Diagram), Basic, or Microsoft Automation provides considerable flexibility. These capabilities are very uncommon in products intended for monitoring, only. Intelligent End Device (IED) protocols – We have developed an extensive range of protocols for flow meters, security devices, sensors, etc. These are lacking in most, competitive products.
