Wireless Sensor Technology
The SynapSense Solution is comprised of sensor nodes, gateways, routers and server platforms. These solutions are based on a broad range of innovative technologies that provide unique differentiation for our products. Our software technologies address the unique requirements of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) applications during their development, deployment and long-term management needs.
The SynapSense Wireless Solution enables our customers to:
- Baseline energy utilization, identify improvement opportunities and monitor and validate the implementation of energy saving measures
- Calculate and validate carbon footprint reductions and improvements
- Monitor tool utilization to validate capital equipment investments and requirements
- Enable a Factory EKG SWAT to proactively manage disaster recovery
- Monitor environmentals to stay within specified equipment and product warranty
“Wireless sensors will have a huge impact on the way we see our environment — from monitoring energy usage to controlling environmental pollution,” said Chuck McParland, Computer Scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Labs. “Today, the SynapSense Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is providing us with data center energy usage information that would simply be too difficult to acquire with any other technology. The information provided by this robust design will have an immediate and positive impact on data center operations. And, as this technology moves to other areas, our ability to understand the environment around us will grow.”
SynapSense offers energy and environmental solutions to save energy costs by 10-20%, optimize equipment utilization, and comprehensively extend instrumentation throughout the enterprise. The SynapSense Wireless Solution uses rapidly deployable, reliable wireless sensor networks and integrated software solutions. Easy and flexible installation provides immediate information to manage and optimize your high performance building, manufacturing facility or data center.
Visibility into manufacturing, test and fabrication operations can lead to dramatic improvements in quality and savings via real-time adjustments to processes and equipment. Comprehensive knowledge of operations provides the ability to react quickly to changes in work load, machine utilization and health.
Connecting previously unreachable elements in the enterprise allows greater control and immediate fine-tuning to processes that were inefficient due to the expense involved in installing wired systems. Not only can measurement and control of this equipment improve energy and process efficiency, but it can directly impact scrapped WIP, line or process shutdowns, and unhappy customers.
Impact of the SynapSense Wireless Technology can be seen in improved bottom line results and increased efficiency throughout your business. With many areas of the business having extremely high overhead and opportunity costs, an easily deployable and agile management solution will provide dramatic return by improving operational efficiencies, resource utilization and minimizing down time. You can’t control or manage what you don’t measure.
Tech Manufacturing
Today’s manufacturing environments are filled with “unreachable” critical-path equipment, processes and locations. Frequently, the cost or practicality of wiring to these critical functions is prohibitive. By deploying the SynapSense Wireless Solution, companies can now extend their IT infrastructure where they need it most.
Unplanned downtime can be prohibitively expensive, costing on average, $800,000. The impact to top line revenues and bottom line profitability often lies with your most critical equipment. Not only are you impacted by lost revenues, but also by line-shutdowns, scrapped WIP and unhappy customers. The SynapSense Wireless Solution monitors dozens of your most critical manufacturing functions and extends instrumentation to your manufacturing “blind spots.” You will see tangible improvement in yield, uptime, quality and efficiency.
SynapSense is extending the “edge” of the network for manufacturing environments by connecting “previously unreachable” factory elements to the IT Infrastructure. This reduces unplanned downtimes dramatically, improves yields and can boost your top and bottom line.
Fabs & Clean Rooms
Semiconductor fabs and clean rooms have extremely high overhead and opportunity costs that require precise monitoring for everything from air and water purification to silicon transport. SynapSense has developed wireless instrumentation solutions with Fortune 500 manufacturers and service providers in the semiconductor, equipment and LCD industries. These solutions enable comprehensive real-time instrumentation monitoring and management capabilities which improve operational efficiencies, resource utilization and minimizes down time. The immediate impact is improved bottom-line results.
The SynapSense wireless sensor network uses a revolutionary architecture while leveraging a wide array of off-the-shelf sensors and existing communication standards to set a new paradigm for monitoring options. As the fab or clean room evolve over time to accommodate new processes, equipment and growth, the SynapSense Wireless Solution can be easily updated with additional nodes providing incredible flexibility and options that were unavailable before.
