RPM and the Aurora Foundation Elucit has developed proprietary technology, products, and services to monitor remote multiple-location processes in real-time. Now, process-sensitive, low-technology markets (such as fast-food, supermarkets, and food processing) can utilize data monitoring techniques with the aggregation, cost, and distribution benefits of the Internet. Elucit calls this Remote Performance Monitoring (“RPM”). Aurora is the foundation upon which RPM solutions can be quickly built. An RPM solution is an active, multiple-location information system consisting of:
Elucit has built unique capability to offer RPM, given its:
Elucit's RPM Components OnRamp Elucit's On-Ramp is the gateway that provides the entire link between sensors and the internet. This unit is all that's required to automatically transfer data from sensors measuring any physical parameter to Elucit's Aurora server. For example, the deli case temperatures in a Northern California supermarket are being continually...and automatically...monitored by Elucit's Aurora infrastructure. An Elucit OnRamp installed in the deli island samples the case temperatures every 5 minutes and forwards collected data to the Aurora server every 2 hours. The  data
is immediately analyzed by Aurora, and is available for review by
authorized users via the Web. The deli department is one of the most
dangerous areas in a market from a liability standpoint. If the prepared
food is improperly handled after it leaves the store, and a customer
gets sick, the store is generally the first to be blamed. Now, with
Elucit technology and oversight, this supermarket can prove it handled
the food properly. The Aurora system can also advise maintenance staff
if the deli cases need service. PalmOS  Given
the application of RPM to a mobile work force, such as home healthworkers
and field service providers. Aurora is able to accommodate human managed
data such as scanned product codes, stock levels, patient vital signs,
surveys, and maintenance logs just as easily as physical sensor data.
The rapid growth of connected devices using the Palm/OS, their ease
of use, and the large Palm developer base, makes them an ideal extension
to the Aurora system. Elucit has developed software allowing any TCP/IP
connected device running the Palm/OS to link with Aurora. This is
an obvious opportunity for 3rd party application developers. Docudot Our docuDot system demonstrates one of the many sensor-to-customer real time information solutions possible using Aurora. The docuDot system works with small inexpensive temperature recorders from Dallas Semiconductor. These are handy for tracking  shipping
conditions, spot-checking refrigerators, etc. The recorders are administered
entirely over the Internet using your Web browser. Aurora handles
the account, provides security, generates graphs, and immediate alarm
notifications... all with instant global access. This demonstration  allows
you to send the contents of a recorderto Aurora where it is immediately
verified, and browse the temperature record from anywhere in the world!
The recorder can then be immediately redeployed. It never has to be
returned prior to reuse. To collect your own Data using our docuDot system, you'll need a ThermochronTM temperature recorder and an iButtonTM cable connected to a serial port on your computer. These can be purchased from Avatel Or Dallas Semiconductor Give us a call (707-937-2441) or email Elucit for purchasing details. |
