How Do Cellular IoT Sensors Work?

Do you need to monitor something in a remote location? Or maybe need to just monitor a couple of things for a short amount of time? Or do you want to make installing some sensors as simple as possible? The Leap Sensor’s cellular IoT sensor transceiver node can be a great solution. […]

Leap Software Options – There’s More Than One Way to Connect to the IoT

Henry Ford famously said, “Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black.” If you look out over any parking lot now, though, you’ll see that this idea is long outdated. So why are most IoT sensor companies offering you only one choice when it comes to your software options? […]

How Differential Air Pressure Gauge Sensors Are Used in Manufacturing

The aroma of coffee emanating from your local coffee shop entices you in the morning. But what if the aroma wasn’t from the Starbucks down the street, but from a roasting factory in your city? Along with that enticing aroma, the coffee roasting process, like any other industrial process, results in by-products that you don’t want to escape into the air.

Chaff is the papery-thin skin of the coffee bean which falls off the bean when it’s roasted. In an industrial […]

Advantages of Structural Health Monitoring Using IoT and CAN bus Technology

There has been a lot of news coverage lately about the troubles with US infrastructure. In fact, the American Society for Civil Engineers 2021 Structural Report Card recently graded America’s infrastructure at a C-, mentioning “staggering maintenance backlogs,” with 11 of the 17 categories rated falling in the D range.

This is precisely why there is a growing need for a simple, reliable, and cost-effective system for remote structural health monitoring (SHM) using the Internet of Things (IoT), […]

Introducing Bulk Over-Air Transmission & Download for Vibration Data

Vibration monitoring is an established tool for predictive maintenance. Just like a rough-running car engine means it’s time to have a mechanic take a look – changes in the shaking, or vibration, of factory machinery can indicate a possible problem.

Phase IV’s Leap Sensors system offers sensors that monitor vibration only, as well as vibration in combination with two other predictors of motor health, temperature and amperes. (And with Leap’s modular, flexible multi-sensor design, you can combine vibration monitoring […]

How Motor Sensors Predict – and Prevent – Equipment Failure

Predictive maintenance is vital to keep equipment running at its peak at all times. In a variety of industries, using wireless sensors for motor condition monitoring helps minimize unplanned shutdowns and reduces the cost of maintenance.

Motors are the workhorses of manufacturing facilities, powering conveyors, pumps, blowers, fans, compressors, and more. Even one failed motor can impact an entire production line, with the possibility of huge losses in time and money. When a line […]
