Lifelong condition monitoring

EC.W LoRa separator with solar power supply

No more troublesome battery change. The abrasion status of the sliding feeder is communicated via LoRa radio transmission standard to i. Cee. box or i. Cee. plus.
The energy supply is ensured via the solar panel.   Graduated percentage service life information is implemented across four sensor layers.

Richard Habering introduces the abrasion sensor EC.W LoRa with solar

• The LoRa sensor is installed in the specifically designed separator of the energy chain
• Power supply is ensured due to the solar cells on the crossbar, which makes battery replacement redundant
• Abrasion is measured in four steps, which allows for an even more precise service life prediction of the energy chain.

illustrates the system in 53 seconds

• Application areas: gliding applications

• the crossbar continuously reports chain abrasion, determining service life
