    The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interconnected devices for the purpose of exchanging data, typically communicating with each other over the internet. IoT devices encompass a broad range of things from mobile phones and smart toasters to sensors and cloud computers.

    iaconnects systems are usually used in smart buildings, agriculture and industrial (IIoT) environments providing data for the purposes of environmental monitoring, saving energy, reducing downtime, and asset management.

     

    Typical IoT system

    A typical IoT system consists of one or more sensors and actuators, a mechanism for collecting data from the sensors, an intelligent gateway to process the data and perform actions, and a cloud application to view and store the sensor data.

    A. Optex People Counter  

    A real-time, muti-directional people counter. Its high accuracy rate of over 97% enables retailers to manage their staff and product placement better and offices to have a more efficient building management based on occupancy level.

    B.   MobiusFlow Gateway 

    MobiusFlow enabled gateway allows connectivity and control of wired and wireless devices to be provisioned via a local or 3G / 4G managed mobile data service. The gateway has an onboard CPU and MobiusFlow configuration software.

    C.  Connector for Wireless Sensors

    The Connector for Wireless Sensors is a wireless sensor interface expander for the MobiusFlow Gateway or MobiusFlow Virtual Cloud Gateway. It sends and receives data between a range of wireless sensors and actuators, and a MobiusFlow Gateway.

    D.   EnOcean PIR Motion Sensor

    Ceiling Mounted Occupancy Sensor is wireless and self-powered making them one of the most cost effective ways to control energy-use in unoccupied rooms. 

    E.   Desk Occupancy Sensor 

    The 868MHz occupancy sensor identifies the utilisation of a workplace position through movement and thermal measurement. In an office environment this sensor would be placed under the desk, at a team table, reception desk etc. Any location occupied by a person.

    F.   Air Quality Monitor 

    MobiusFlow Wifi based sensor providing detailed and reliable data on key environmental parameters such as humidity, temperature, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter (PM2.5) and CO2.

    G.   3G / 4G Secure Data Connection 

    Arkessa enables Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M) connections anywhere in the world. Solutions to suit customer requirements.

    H.   Cloud Hosting Solution

    Secure hosting solutions from Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, IBM Watson, Google Cloud Platform, or as specified by the customer.
