Use Cases	Visual Quality Detection
Challenge	The customer needed to monitor non-contact alignment and non-contact process temperature in different positions along a 100-meter production line. Space around the line is tight and operators and forklift trucks are passing by constantly. Installation of correctly routed cables from sensors back to the control station would have been expensive and would have taken too long and caused too much disruption to ongoing operations.

Solution	The system was configured with SensiNet sensing nodes to monitor temperatures with infra-red sensors and align processes using precise laser alignment sensors. SensiNet OnCall software was used to display the data and generate alerts. The alerts from the OnCall software can be transmitted to pre-determined recipients by a number of means including Skype, e-mail, SMS text message, GPRS and web page. Read More Log in to view content
