Remote Worldwide Data Acquisition via GSM and Satellite Links
The brief for this project was to give 24 hour monitoring cover for valuable plant and equipment anywhere in the world, and alarms back at Headquarters if anything went wrong with the plant, or if anyone tampered with it in the field. We started with European coverage via the GSM network, but later the demand grew to worldwide coverage in areas where the GSM coverage is not reliable. We expanded the design to integrate with International Communications Satellites and use the Global Data Network to give round the clock monitoring anywhere on the planet. Software at the Corporate HQ constantly monitors all the remote stations, not only waiting for trouble, but, to a set timetable, it will communicate with each remote station just to check status.

The next stage was to go mobile, and many systems are now monitoring all the same data around the world in mobile plant and equipment. Regional Engineers are notified of any problems at the plant in their own areas within a couple of minutes of the problem occurring, and a three way communication between the plant, the Engineer and HQ is instantly put in place. This gets equipment put back into operation as soon as possible.

From client brief to real world solution interfacing with existing equipment and Global Data Networks this project was handled entirely by DTMPower.
Using this technology DTM Power have just launched the new E-guide system
