As a result, it can be translated into useful information using the CDLSmartHub™.
NanoULTRA Vibe
Designed to be robust for use in harsh environments such as construction sites. However, simple to use and sensitive enough to capture ongoing vibration events. Offering wireless mobile connectivity, long battery life (usually 1 - 2 months), trigger alarming (email and SMS) and constant access to data. Subsequently, managing and monitoring vibration levels has never been easier, just deploy our event based sensor.
NanoULTRA Edge
Managing a network of field assets has never been easier with the NanoULTRA–Edge. Its features give the flexibility of up to 16 I/Os, integrated SD card and communication via mobile phone networks. Therefore high-resolution data transfer happens seamlessly and securely from multiple assets to our secure cloud platform, the CDLSmartHub™.

The battery-powered sensors have excellent penetration within buildings making for a quick and easy setup process, this is complemented by 5+ Years battery life for a truly fit and forget experience.
CDLSmartHub
Our data monitoring and reporting interface with live alerting. Data is not information and information is not knowledge. Getting data to the cloud safely, with integrity checks, relaying configuration instructions to the sensors (e.g. sampling/reporting frequencies) is just the start. Turning that data into useful information is the next step – things like dynamic charting, customisable hierarchies, user defined alarm functions, geo-mapping, intuitive work methods.
