to be delivered to users anywhere in the world though the Senquip Potal or direct to a customer server or
SCADA system.
The ORB has built in sensors to allow measurement of supply voltage, battery voltage, time, position,
speed, ambient temperature, pitch, roll and pressure. Almost any industrial sensor or system can be
connected to the external interface to enable other measurements.
Data measured by the ORB is transmitted to the internet via Wi-Fi or GSM and can be delivered to the
Senquip Portal or to your own server or SCADA system.
Flexible measurement timing makes the ORB a low power device that can be operated using replaceable
AA batteries, solar with integrated battery backup, or permanent power.
The ORB has been designed for use in harsh outdoor environments such as mining, marine, agriculture,
industry, fleet and smart cities.
