Serving On-Site Power

Monitoring On-Site Power Everybody wants reliable, high quality electric power. As computer networks have become essential parts of business operation, the availability of power has become absolutely mandatory. Standby generators fill this need with instant emergency power when it is needed. These generators typically perform an automatic startup weekly. This "exercise" keeps the engine operational in the same way that regular cranking of a car is necessary.

The performance of the machine during these exercises is the key information that OmniMetrix accumulates and reports as a measure of the health of the machine. The OMX systems also monitor events between exercises, of course, including detecting problems like failing generator batteries or block heaters. Detection of these conditions, which will likely prevent the engine from operating, is the core of the OMX design point.

Consider a customer with hundreds or thousands of remote sites, each with standby power. Until OmniMetrix created its G-Series products in 1998, there was no way of determining which of those units were working properly and available for emergency use. Today, the status — and the history — of those units appear in an easy to use web interface. This is the power of the OMX Wireless-to-Web solutions!
