Project Description:
A mining and infrastructure equipment manufacturer had a requirement to monitor and visualise temperature and humidity data in server rooms in multiple global locations (UK, Sweden, Singapore and United States). The CTO wanted to remotely monitor the data, eradicate the need for manual checks with data being sent to the clients Microsoft Azure IoT Hub platform.
Problem
The IT team conducted manual temperature and humidity checks on paper and only reported back when there were issues. Some locations only had access to server rooms when security provided access so checks often weren’t as regular as required.
Solution
IAconnects provided indoor EnOcean temperature and humidity sensors, installed in each server room. If levels increased or decreased beyond set parameters, alerts were sent to the IT team and building managers. All data was processed and at the edge using IAconnects MobiusFlow software, with all requested data sent via API to the clients Microsoft Azure IoT Hub platform.
Solution Included:
- MobiusFlow IoT Edge Gateway
- EnOcean Connector
- MobiusFlow Cloud
- EnOcean temperature and humidity sensors
- Microsoft Azure IoT Hub Platform
Benefits
The organisation are now able to remotely check the live temperature and humidity levels of all server rooms across their global estate, reviewing all data in a single MS Azure IoT Hub dashboard.
