Monnit Development: All-In-One Cellular IoT Multisensors Are Coming

In a move to combine the benefits of low-power sensors with direct-to-cloud cellular Internet connectivity, Monnit will soon offer all-in-one cellular IoT multisensors.

Our new sensors will combine sensor and gateway engines in one device and chipset to connect your conditions, processes, equipment, and machines to the Internet of Things (IoT). The sensors will be ideal for industry applications or use cases in remote locations that lack Internet infrastructure.

Think of construction sites, agriculture operations, remote buildings and equipment, assets in motion, field services, and structures like bridges. Our low-power cellular IoT multisensors will:

Run on the CAT-M1 or NB-IoT networks for direct-to-cloud communication.
Measure and send two or more data points.
Be powered with up to a 5-year battery life.
Have an industrial-grade, waterproof housing.
Feature a robust cellular module and edge data processor.

For example, a cellular IoT accelerometer can measure multiple data points, including vibration, crest factor, velocity, displacement, acceleration, duty cycle, and temperature. Another cellular IoT dual sensor will monitor temperature and humidity in buildings.

There are many other applications of our cellular IoT multisensors, like delivering bridge and building structural measurements and supporting strain gauges, tilt detection, and other architectural data points for a complete structure monitoring solution.

Once again, there are many opportunities for our new cellular IoT sensors, and we look forward to helping you take advantage of them in your unique monitoring applications. In the meantime, consider Monnit customizing a new cellular IoT multisensor for your operation.

Build a Greener Future with the IoT

Across industries, sustainability is a highly regulated venture. Data proves whether or not an organization is reducing its environmental impact, using energy efficiently, and implementing sustainable practices.

Real-time and trending data from the Internet of Things (IoT) can help you stay within the safe confines of compliance and help you make informed decisions in your sustainability pursuits. Take some time to consider if you are continuously or periodically monitoring everything related to creating a sustainable and environmentally safe organization.

Confidently answer these questions:

Are you monitoring essential environmental conditions and their impact?
Are you tracking resource use and emissions to optimize efficiency?
Are you preventing spoilage, contamination, and hazards?
Can you quickly generate compliance reports for optimization and regulatory bodies?

Here are some of the types of Monnit IoT Sensors for sustainability monitoring:

Temperature, Humidity, & HVAC Sensors—Ensure climate control efficiency in most environments and safety in regulated environments such as food storage, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing.
Gas Detection & Air Quality Sensors —Monitor pollutant emissions from CO, CO₂, PM₁, PM₅, PM₁₀, and H₂S to prevent hazards and ensure compliance with air quality regulations.
Water Intrusion Sensors —Detect water leaks and pooling along walls and pipes, near plumbing, and in areas where you can prevent water damage, loss, and mold growth.
Motion, Ultrasonic, & Open-Closed Sensors—Sense access to sensitive, restricted, or hazardous areas and monitor waste and recycling disposal and storage.
Soil & Agricultural Sensors —Measure soil moisture and light levels to prevent crop spoilage, conserve water, and increase yield.
Energy Meters & Power Sensors—Track energy consumption and efficiency to comply with energy regulations and carbon footprint goals.

By integrating many of our IoT sensors, organizations can automate compliance tracking, optimize energy efficiency, reduce manual monitoring costs, and proactively address environmental risks.

Tech Tip

How the ALTA® Advanced Vibration Meter Works

The ALTA Advanced Vibration Meter collects 256 acceleration data points to produce vibration data while measuring temperature during a single Heartbeat. It’s a high-end accelerometer you can use in many applications like machine, structure, and equipment monitoring. With the meter, you can predict the maintenance or analyze the performance of critical assets.

To ensure you use the meter efficiently and properly, we have principles of operation for you to follow as you deploy it into your use case. Then, you can remotely monitor oscillation on three axes to capture vibration frequency, crest factor, velocity, displacement, acceleration, duty cycle, and temperature. This Monnit Knowledgebase article walks you through essential steps to follow, including:
