Combining Strengths: Gantner Instruments and i4M Technologies Announce Cooperation Agreement for Wired and Wireless Data Acquisition
By integrating both wired and wireless sensors, this collaboration aims to provide high-quality data acquisition systems that meet the diverse needs of modern testing and monitoring applications. Whether you are involved in structural health monitoring, condition monitoring of rotating machinery, or testing applications in demanding dynamic environments, their advanced measurement technologies deliver engineers precise, time-synchronous data acquisition from both wired and wireless sensors.
Wireless Sensor Solutions for Precision and Efficiency in Challenging Applications
i4M, an emerging leader in wireless measurement technology, is at the forefront of developing innovative wireless sensor systems designed to measure critical parameters like strain, force, vibration, rotation, and temperature. Gantner Instruments is proud to now offer these next-generation wireless sensor solutions, which excel in :-
High Speed & Precision: Achieve up to 24-bit resolution with high sampling rates, enhancing data quality and accuracy
High Channel Capacity: Having more measurement channels per wireless network reduces the number of required components, lowering system complexity and cost
Low Energy Consumption: The ultra-low-power design extends battery life, reducing maintenance intervals and operational downtime
Integrated Data Acquisition: Seamless, time-synchronized data collection from both wired and wireless sensors within a single data acquisition system
The new i4M wireless sensors deliver substantial cost savings by eliminating the need for complex wiring, making them ideal for challenging setups such as structural health monitoring of large-scale infrastructure.
They provide precise measurements in dynamic or rotating applications, such as condition monitoring of wind turbines and rotating machinery. Equipped with an integrated 9-DoF Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), these sensors enable advanced analysis by capturing crucial data such as acceleration, rotation rates, rotation angles, and magnetic fields across all three axes. This versatility makes it a great fit for measurements in demanding environments, delivering reliable, real-time insights.
Powerful Integration of Wireless Sensors with Gantner’s Data Ecosystem
The integration of the wireless sensors into the Gantner Instruments ecosystem is fully supported by Gantner’s advanced software platforms, including GI.bench and GI.cloud. These platforms provide powerful tools for data logging, visualization, alarming and analysis, in combination with open interfaces like EtherCAT, Modbus, OPC UA, and MQTT.
The cooperation agreement between Gantner Instruments and i4M Technologies marks a major advancement in time-synchronous data acquisition.
