Typical SCADA installations are resource-intensive, forcing automation teams to prioritize only “select” fields and assets for the benefits of automation.

What if you could keep your automation schemas “smart” but greatly reduce the installation, maintenance and data management overhead? How many more assets could you cover?

With iNodes, you can think fieldwide with no compromises. Our wireless devices, with their no-trench installation and distributed intelligence, can work seamlessly within your SCADA system, replacing over-engineered components with smart, compact monitoring devices. This gives you a whole new set of options for automating fieldwide, or even regionwide, with fewer assets falling below your return-on-investment threshold.

Advantages of using iNodes within your existing automation schema:

• Seamless links to your SCADA system via our Modbus Gateway.
• Off-the-shelf support for daily data summaries and automatic problem alerts.
• Can be configured for higher-frequency data reporting, such as hourly or 4-times/day, depending on component. The iNode Electric Flow Monitor, for example, monitors every second but can transmit readings hourly, giving you ample time to spot buildup problems.
• Ability to generate alarms locally, freeing up the need for a SCADA system just for centralized alarm management.
• Enough native intelligence to support local optimizations.
• Trenchless installation and totally wireless operation lower cost and resource drain.
