Monitoring Elevator Door and Lift Faults in a Major Metropolitan City Using LTE Technology
3/27/2019
Challenge

To solve the issue of expense—while also maintaining high availability and optimal performance—CloudMonitoring wanted to utilize the latest in LTE technology communications to capture data for customers.
To be feasible to work with CloudMonitoring and REMS, the LTE hardware technology had to provide reliable network access in basement and bunkered locations, support Python and MQTT, offer a “last gasp” capability for communicating after a power outage, and work with leading web-based cloud platforms.
The Solution
- The LTE Cat M1 capability addresses the challenge of getting a reliable cell signal in basements and other in-building locations.
- The
built-in super capacitor provides enough power for a “last gasp” message to be
sent when the mains power is lost, which is critical for monitoring elevators
and escalators in high traffic public transit applications
- The ICR-3211B supports the required software development tools CloudMonitoring needed for integration with its own web-based applications
