Abstract
With proliferation of “Internet of Things” (IoT) type of devices, autonomous remote monitoring is becoming common. Often times monitoring is to prevent product loss or it is mandated by regulatory agencies such as the FDA or CDC or others depending on the product stored or where it is used. However, the solutions are typically not complete or affordable and have significant scalability problems. The purpose of the invention is to provide a complete solution that leverages the recent IoT innovations to not just monitor but also provide the means to troubleshoot, maintain and manage.
Claims25
A method for monitoring of storage systems using low power WiFi based wireless sensor device that will work with smart phones and tablets, the method comprising:
- battery powered WiFi wireless sensor device for detection or sensing;
- the smart phone or tablet for provisioning using bluetooth;
- a wireless network to transmit the sensor messages or data for processing in an IoT cloud;
- extracting the information from the IoT cloud to a smartphone or tablet or digital assistant;
- and
- activating sensors to make measurements periodically or continuously;
A system for monitoring the air temperature and the stored product temperature inside a temperature controlled unit, the system comprising:
- a WiFi wireless sensor device for measuring air temperature and stored product temperature at the same time;
- a wireless network to transmit the temperature data and statistics for processing in an IoT cloud;
- extracting the health information of the temperature controlled unit from the IoT cloud;
- and
- communicating the alerting and health information to a smartphone or a tablet or a digital assistant;
A method for troubleshooting and monitoring the health of the IoT device in a wireless network using an IoT supervisor, the method comprising:
- one or more IoT supervisors are sniffers, each with one or more wireless network interface card;
- a processor on the sniffer using a software to extract and process the IoT device communications;
- transmitting all the IoT device packet communication for further processing in an IoT cloud;
- extracting the health information of the IoT device from the IoT cloud;
- communicating alerting and health information to a smartphone or a tablet or a digital assistant;
- and
- a smartphone app for troubleshooting and debugging the IoT device.
