Tuftec’s primary focus in this area is on the development of customised monitoring and control solutions for wide scale deployment in remote and/or harsh environments.
Our solutions often consist of hardening of readily available technology and appropriate packaging to enable them to be deployed in environments where the following attributes may be required:
- Environmentally sealed enclosures
- Compatibility with solar, wind, fuel cell or other “off grid” power sources
- Under ground installation
- Remote unpowered installation
- Extended life battery operation
- Long distance, low cost data communications
- Remote network monitoring using industry standard tools
- Operation in extreme temperatures
- Digital and analogue data collection (including video)
- Remote equipment control and monitoring
- Custom, secure device communications (to combat potential, external network tampering/attack)
