focus

We are now in an age of data-science. Number-crunching specialists seek detailed, reliable and timely data from a wide range of environments. No longer just simple measurements, data streams also include images, video and audio. To capture this with confidence, solutions require smart sensors, smart communication and smart interfaces.

IRIS Machine Vision sharpens focus on all these elements to capture the right balance of efficacy, cost and simplicity. Knowing that these are in capable hands, data scientists can focus their valuable time on the data.

An idea begins the innovation process. It goes no further if not met with initiative and industry knowledge.

innovation

Every business has sensitive assets or critical points of vulnerability, where even a short interruption can result in expensive downtime and impacted revenue. Once or twice a year, thermographers are contracted to survey these assets for potential hotspots. Rather than observe the assets at peak power or under the influence of typical operational temperatures, these assessments only sees nominally loaded scenarios. Additionally, the necessary site shutdowns and health & safety protocols turns a time consuming process into an expensive one.

IRIS Machine Vision has combined new thermal imaging sensors and powerful processors to provide a compact, low cost alternative. Electrical switchboards, HVAC and industrial/commercial plants can be persistently monitored using machine vision innovation. Day-to-day trends can be observed of specific sectional areas of the most vital assets. This assists prudent allocation of maintenance budget and preempts circumstances that might otherwise lead to loss of assets, service or business continuity.

Smart sensors connect over LTE Cat-M1, WiFi or Ethernet through to cloud micro-services, delivering real-time streams/alerts through secure REST APIs or popular messaging services. Not only can an intermittent service be replaced with a 24/7 alternative, it reduces operational downtime and saves money.

technology

Enduring products must be designed with endurance in mind. Sound product development recognises how **technology** changes and embraces it. It should welcome improvements and be easy to extend, substitute and proliferate. Otherwise, products risk becoming rigid and redundant. Industrial data monitoring systems are often designed with either simple sensors, delivering raw data to heavyweight cloud processing, or bulky embedded PCs for substantial on-site processing. The best of all worlds is possible with lightweight, secure smart gateways that can support a wide array of sensor media.
IRIS Machine Vision applies experience to the challenges of keeping **technology** in touch with client requirements. Designed to be easy to install and maintain, IRIS technology is the product of collective expertise in real-time environment sensing, wireless and wired communications, trusted security standards, comprehensive APIs and expressive UIs. A rushed exercise of gluing off-the-shelf hardware and software together can lead to frustration. Implementation requires care, a heavy dose of pragmatism and, where warranted, bespoke components.
