Staff at Hammersmith hospital now have peace of mind that their valuable samples are being reliably monitored 7 days a week 24 hours a day.
The cost effective telemetry device allows two-way communication between mobile phones/monitoring stations and remote equipment or assets.
The TextPod is a device that combines monitoring and control of its programmable digital and analogue inputs and outputs, with the ability to send and receive messages and instructions to mobile phones and/or PCs using the short message service.
Once the TextPod has been configured using its Windows-based software, there is no further PC reliance.
Alternatively, when a significant number of remote sites need to be monitored, a PC can be used to manage a network of devices.
SMS messages can even be programmed to output process data at regular intervals or on a number of different events.
