CAMNEXUS PROPOSED PILOT CASES FOR CORPORATES AND BUSINESS CUSTOMERS
|
We help companies operating in the food, water and energy sectors achieve their sustainability goals with a user-centric platform to detect process’ anomalies in real time.
Driven by our expertise developing and adopting new and enabling technologies in various industries, and our commitment to solve the most pressing sustainability challenges, at Camnexus, we have developed a long-range wireless infrastructure to detect in real-time anomalies reducing inefficiencies in the water and energy management. Combining new technologies of “Internet of Things” and artificial intelligence with a user-centric design we have developed a unique end-to-end Internet of Things solution for the industrial sector. |
|
With an international experience, we have tested our solution and demonstrated its interoperability in the following scenarios:
- Pilot: the water utility sector (underground large area coverage wireless sensor infrastructure and real-time notification of water leakage / water flooding in Chile, South America).
- Feasibility study: Aquarice project - water sector (energy producers and rice producers of Santa Catarina, Brazil).
- Testbed: Integration with 5G network of the customer (First 5G Testbed in Cambridge by CW, UK).
Pilot Proposal Overview
There are three pilot cases that we are presenting depending on the existing infrastructure of the customer and in its needs.

A cost-efficient wireless solution for multiple sensors deployment
You are a customer who is looking for an effective, scalable and cost-efficient infrastructure to access the data of sensor devices deployment installed in their facilities or in remote operations to act promptly and reduce inefficiencies.
The problem: Currently the company has either a wired or wireless infrastructure / architecture of sensor nodes which is costly or inefficient when it needs to be scaled up (adding more sensors or devices may mean a redesign of the current infrastructure).
Context to the need: The sensors the company has may be for different applications (from measurement of critical assets performance to environmental monitoring). It is of interest to the company that their sensors are of low-maintenance, as they may be located in critical operations or in remote locations.
The solution: Camnexus IoT Low-Power wireless network
Pilot Area: facilities, premises or remote operations of the company where sensor devices are projected to be deployed. Potential areas in the organisation are: operations, IT, HS&E, logistics, procurement, innovation, engineering.
Pilot Resources:
Timescale: Three months.
Training required: Dashboard usability training 1 hour. Technology training: 1 hour (online).

Data of sensors are not reachable with current infrastructure (or non-existing infrastructure for data acquisition)
You are looking for an effective, scalable and cost-efficient infrastructure to access the data of remote sensor devices installed in either your facility or in remote operations to act promptly and reduce inefficiencies.
The problem: Currently the existing solution of the company cannot automatically retrieve the data from the sensors or need high maintenance (i.e. depending on frequent battery replacement or manual intervention to acquire the data), therefore, despite the existence of devices that are supposed to monitor, there is no sufficient data to take actions, actions are not taken, consequently, anomalies are not detected or detected very late (after an incident, accident or failure). Hence, inefficiencies persist.
Context to the need: The sensors the company has may be for different applications (from measurement of critical assets performance to environmental monitoring). The common factor is that they can be battery-powered, each sensor transmit data of low data volume, and the data is transmitted periodically. The data, however, is not retrieved automatically or the devices last too little to send sufficient data to predict or anticipate an anomaly. Therefore, there is no sufficient data for analysis and interpretation to trigger an action. It is of interest to the company that their sensors are of low-maintenance, as they may be located in critical operations or in remote locations.
The solution: Camnexus Internet of Things (IoT) Low-Power wireless network
Pilot Area: facilities, premises or remote operations of the company where sensor devices are installed. Sensors that are applicable can include: sensors to monitor operation (production lines), security (restricted areas, control access, geofencing, critical assets location), environmental monitoring (water quality, air quality), and assets maintenance (energy consumption, vibration, noise, heat). Potential areas in the organisation are: operations, IT, HS&E, logistics, procurement, innovation, engineering.

Effective and reliable system to communicate sensor alerts or notifications in real-time to users in the field
You are looking for an effective, scalable and cost-efficient solution to communicate sensor alerts or data-driven notifications in real-time to end users who are in the field, mobile or in critical operations to act promptly and reduce anomalies.
The problem: The existing solution of the company for alert anomaly detections or anticipation is based on the data visualisation and analysis from several platforms and BI systems that are not always integrated. The interface with the user is not intuitive, or is a one-waycommunication depending intensively on web-based dashboards or computer software. The user is mobile and is not always in front of a computer or a dashboard, they depend on a smartphone or tablet and have limited time to navigate through complex dashboards. Therefore, despite the existence of a monitoring system and a platform that process the data, th elack of an effective communication with the user means that actions are not taken and inefficiencies persist.
The solution: Camnexus Internet of Things (IoT) Low-Power wireless network
Pilot Area: facilities, premises or remote operations of the company where end users work and need to receive the alerts of potential anomaly to act promptly in order to reduce inefficiencies. Potential areas in the organisation are: operations, IT, HS&E, logistics, procurement, innovation, engineering.
