About Featured Expert: Monnit
Monnit are global industry experts in wireless sensing, remote monitoring, IoT gateways and cloud-based sensor management. The company designs, develops and manufactures sensors, gateways and software technologies that allow organizations to monitor equipment, buildings, facilities and remote assets without hardwiring every measurement point into an existing control system. Its wider platform is designed to move measurement data from the physical environment through a wireless network and into software where conditions can be reviewed, trended and acted upon.
At the sensing level, Monnit offers devices for temperature, humidity, water detection, vibration, motion, open and closed status, pressure, current, voltage, air quality and other operating variables. Sensors are available in multiple enclosure, power and connectivity configurations, allowing the same wider platform to support offices, laboratories, warehouses, industrial facilities, remote equipment and other environments where continuous monitoring may otherwise be difficult or costly to implement through conventional wiring.
The company’s ALTA wireless platform provides the communications layer between those measurement points and the gateway. Designed for long-range, low-power operation, ALTA sensors can communicate across extended distances and through multiple walls, depending on the gateway and installation environment. This allows larger facilities or dispersed equipment populations to be covered with fewer network access points. Monnit currently states that selected ALTA XL gateway configurations can support communication at distances exceeding 2,000 feet through more than 18 walls in commercial building environments.
Sensor gateways then connect the wireless network with the wider information environment. Monnit offers Ethernet and cellular gateway options for fixed facilities, remote sites and applications where local network infrastructure may be limited or unavailable. Readings can be transferred into iMonnit software for device management, visualization, reporting and alert configuration.
iMonnit serves as the central software environment for managing Monnit sensors, gateways and accessories. Users can view current and historical readings, organize devices by network or location, configure operating thresholds and establish rules that trigger notifications when a monitored condition moves outside defined limits. Depending on the software and service configuration, alerts can be delivered through email, text message, push notification or voice call. Monnit also supports both cloud-hosted and locally deployed software. iMonnit Cloud provides online and mobile access to distributed sensor networks. For organizations that require local data control, iMonnit Enterprise allows larger sensor environments to be hosted and maintained on the company’s own infrastructure, while iMonnit Express provides a standalone option for smaller local networks.
The value of the platform lies in the way these layers operate together. Measurements collected across individual assets, rooms or remote facilities can be consolidated into a common monitoring environment, allowing organizations to identify changing conditions without rebuilding the underlying automation or building-control architecture. A deployment can begin with a focused monitoring requirement and later expand into a broader maintenance, environmental or asset-management program.
Typical applications for Monnit products include cold-chain and refrigeration monitoring, facilities management, predictive maintenance, water-leak detection, equipment and machine monitoring, laboratory and health care environments, energy management, data centers, agriculture, warehouses and remote asset supervision.
Founded in 2010 and headquartered in South Salt Lake, Utah, Monnit serves commercial and industrial customers through wireless monitoring technologies deployed across a wide range of operating environments. To learn more about Monnit and its remote-monitoring capabilities, please click here.
