What is Netwatch?
We monitor sensors (nodes), mainly in North America and Europe
We act on triggers based on the information contained within the nodes
Information triggers can be temperature, geofencing, vehicle of interestdetection, perimeter protection, flooding, fire detection, people counting, tamper switches, gate relays, keypads etc.
IoT the netwatch way
We have been actively involved in IoT for over 12 years
We monitor > 40,000 nodes
Data mined or if required actioned by our Communications Hub
Learning 1:
Our devices every X seconds send us a heart beat
We also connect every X seconds pull down status information
Availability vs Bandwidth
Due to Spacial coverage, we Independently measure ISP Uptime in geographic locations
MUST ALLOW FOR REDUNDANCY
Learning 2:
All our devices are connected
Many are from different manufacturers
No standard protocol exists. Many competing companies trying to Bring in their own standard
Incompatible standards led to different receiving dashboards/stations
As we grow NOT SCALEABLE
Solution: Develop our own enterprise solution using devices APIs/SDKs!
COPS – Cratos Open Platform System
Designed to cater for our nuances/process flow
Yielded many benefits, one GUI for all sensors
Speed, Q management, skills based routing, training, data analytics etc.…
New IoT Development
Develop our own embedded hardware devices
Development and implementation of Drones integrated to our COPSPlatform
Streamline to our own protocols, communication paths and cost
Drive the ambition to make Ireland the drone capital of Europe
