Silent Sensor

•  Device and traffic management

•  A reliable, flexible, and secure data pipe to your devices, over any network

•  Remote configuration, administration, and monitoring of devices

Exosense •  3D In Bullding

Positioning and Location

•  Mesh Network •  250 nodes per cluster •  Hi accuracy

Omnisense •  Batteryless RFID Sensor

•  Sensors for pressure, temperature, humidity, strain, stress and integrity

•  Decade long service life

•  Cheap

Silent Sensor

Exosense

•  Open Source device Linux distro •  Carrier grade technologies for secure, robust &

highly scalable solutions •  Handling of the entire infrastructure, from backend

server interface to the device, including network subscriptions, which keeps the customer focused on their value-added technology

•  Hot device upgrades over the air offer uninterrupted service even as new software is being installed

•  Mixed asset management provides a single, easy to use interface to all installed devices, regardless of their device vendor or software revision

•  Traffic throttling capability ensures that total network usage does not exceed the data plan or other resource restrictions

•  Self-initialising devices communicate over 2.4GHz to form a mesh network.

•  Each device knows position relative to others by measuring the time of arrival of radio signals from neighbours

•  Mesh data network •  Fixed infrastructure not required •  Simple API for integrators •  Works indoors & out •  Achieved with low cost & lowpower chips & MEMs

sensors

Current Projects: •  Soldiers or emergency services, indoors and

where GPS denied •  Buses, trucks or trains around tunnels, terminals

and depots •  Miners & machinery underground, Construction

industry •  People with dementia, both at home and when

they wander out •  Intelligent sensing telemetry (e.g. fall detection) •  Sports location, timing and training applications

Silent Sensors

•  Precise pressure and temperature – 1 PSI or 1 Celsius

•  No maintenance – rugged with wide temperature operating range

•  No batteries to die or buy; no whole replacement units or wheel removals

•  Simple packaging for application from decal to vulcanised

•  Business model for existing (retrofit) and new markets

•  Low cost

•  RAPID DEPLOYMENT + EFFICIENT DEVELOPMENT

o  Develop + upgrade on the fly – buys valuable parallel development time o  Rapid deloyment using Feuerlabs’ existing hosted server o  Scalable to Tens of Millions of units – minimizes rework as footprint grows o  Back-end and front-end development efforts are cleanly decoupled o  Over-the-air firmware upgrades allow scripted language development

efficiencies on your remote embedded platform •  LOW OPERATING COSTS

o  Automatic traffic throttling – keeps data charges under control o  Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model – only pay for what is used o  Hardware and network agnostic – not an expensive, proprietary ecosystem

•  ROBUST PERFORMANCE o  Enterprise-level security through end-to-end encryption o  Built on the highly-robust Erlang telecom platform o  Automatic device monitoring and over-the-air firmware upgrade/roll-back

How can a distributor of high value food products cost effectively provide traceability with temperature and pressure. And provide spin off fleet management benefits.

Yard Managemet & Logistics Scenario - For Temperature and Pressure sensitive products

Primary Technical Challenges:

o  Existing services have poor innate security o  Currently traceability and product quality

managed by statistical method o  Data is collected manually and transcribed o  Granularity down to individual packages o  Integration with Yard Management, Logistics

and Fleet Management system

Yard Managemet & Logistics Case Study - For Temperature and Pressure sensitive products

•  Develop custom Omnisense RFID node based on Exosense reference platform o  Device features RFID reader, and wired/wireless network connection options

•  Connect backend records database to Exosense Server •  Integrate Silent Sensor readers and Omnisense Nodes •  Use Existing Pressure sensors •  Develop custom RFID temperature sensor •  Deploy initial trial run of 20 systems within 4 months of project start •  Integrate with Yard Management, Logistics and Fleet management •  System ready to scale to 10,000 unit trial

• Application developed in Matlab • Will show how the cluster performs self

discovery as soon as Gateway is powered and awakens nodes from deep sleep

• Calibrated node is extremely sensitive to changes in orientation

• Nodes position is rapidly updated
