System Overview
The CartaSense Wireless Sensing Product Family includes all the elements
needed to collect measurements from sensors, transfer them to a central
server and visualize them, in a way that provides added value business
information. This business information may be used to take ad-hoc
decisions or provide the basis for business strategy, thus bringing in
significant savings.
CartaSense develops and manufactures various types of battery operated
sensors and gateways. The gateways collect measurements from all the
sensors and transfer them to a server and a web application to visualize
the measurements and generate alerts.
U-sensor (US) is a one-time-use sensor that accompanies controlled
temperature shipments.
R-sensor (RS) is a fixed installation sensor, used in warehouses.
M-sensor (MS) is a rugged sensor for outdoor use (E.g. agricultural
applications)
U-sensor Gateway (USG) wirelessly collects the measurements from
the sensors and sends it to a server.
Fixed USG – is a gateway used in warehouses or trucks, with a GPS
option.
Dashboard USG – is a mobile gateway unit, powered from the truck
cigarette lighter plug, where fixed installation in the truck is not
possible or not economical.
LAN USG – is a gateway that uses existing LAN infrastructure to
connect to the server
