Improving shop floor productivity

Wirepas application software demonstration

On the 22nd August, we are conducting a workshop on indoor positioning systems based on Wirepas technology for shop floor optimization. We will be discussing use cases in manufacturing, warehousing, supply chain logistics & healthcare industries.

Venue – Level 6, Vanguard Campus, 1 Kallang Junction, Singapore

Time – 4 pm to 5 pm

Target audience – Senior and mid level managers, consultants

Ripples IOT is among the pioneers in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) space, with own hardware devices, embedded software, data visualization tools in manufacturing, healthcare and supply chain logistics. Delivered over 100 projects over the last 5 years to customers in 15+ countries. A live demonstration of the solutions will be available at the productivity workshop.

Ripples provides the necessary Wirepas application software, Bluetooth Low Energy beacons, Air quality alerts, condition monitoring sensors, gateway devices, data visualisation tools, device management tools, installation, training and support for the indoor positioning system with an incredible value proposition of 5 year battery life – 5 metre accuracy and 10 minute reporting intervals – Perhaps the lowest cost for any indoor tracking systems in the world with size and massive scale.

Wirepas Mesh scales to any number of devices – two or two million nodes, whilst optimizing itself for best performance. Industries can have thousands of devices in one shop floor without interference due to the automatic and efficient use of radio resources. On the other hand, the distance between the two devices can be several kilometers. The total geographical coverage of the network is limitless because every single device is an autonomous part of the network and can operate as a router.

Indoor positioning with Wirepas application software

Wirepas is the world leader in indoor positioning. Wirepas was named the recipient of Frost & Sullivan’s 2017 Product Leadership Award in the European Internet of Things market. In its decision to choose Wirepas for the award, Frost & Sullivan, the Growth Partnership Company, highlights the strength and fit-for-purpose of Wirepas Connectivity as a product for Massive IoT, versatility regarding different applications, and the business need-driven approach of the company. Ripples have built warehouse automation software using Wirepas technology, which enables to positioning engine to locate materials with 5 meter accuracy.

Tracking in construction industry

Construction safety solutions

In the construction industry, whether it is about residential apartments, commercial office buildings or flyovers, the flooring, tiling, or painting on a concrete surface that is insufficiently dry can end up being a man made disaster.

Imperfect conditions lead to failure

To successfully first cure and then dry concrete requires specific conditions. You need to maintain a temperature higher than 10°C and a relative humidity of greater than 80 percent in the concrete.

Once the construction industry concrete is hardened, you have to make sure that it is dry enough for finishing. Typically, the relative humidity around should not exceed 82 percent. Some flooring materials in the construction industry require a humidity of less than 75 percent for successful application.

Tight project schedules in the APAC region and rapidly varying weather conditions can lead to structural mishaps in the construction industry. Damp concrete in the construction process will damage the building flooring sooner or later. Furthermore, mold and microbe growth on moist surfaces will cause indoor air quality problems.

Indoor monitoring & tracking solutions in construction industry

Indoor positioning and outdoor tracking for construction industry with ready to deploy wireless sensor kits. No wiring need for gateway or tags. Install in under 2 hours and you are ready to start. Accuracy can be in the range of 5 to 10 meters with 10 minute transmission interval and 5 year battery life. This makes Ripples asset positioning and monitoring systems the best choice for monitoring the temperature & humidity for concrete structures.

Construction industry workforce tracking solutions

Our wireless (BLE) sensor enabled workforce tracking solutions for construction, supply chain industries involves deployment of reusable tags with long range detectors to help monitor and condition the movement and environment of objects – containers, goods, trucks and people. Visitors to the warehouse or yard can be geofenced to enforce safety and security.

Our long range BLE sensor enabled workforce solutions go beyond basic tracking ; the data analytics module can throw trends from operational aspects – perennially late people, trucks, abuse of equipment, cargo. Potential theft scenario, visitor mapping, just in time inventory management & threshold triggers on environment and safety.

We deploy the best in class, certified and CE compliant devices with the data hosted and on-premise servers to help supply chain logistics industries optimise operations.

Call us to know how our long battery life, web enabled, workforce tracking solutions for construction industry can help bring competitive advantage to your organisation.

Structural monitoring sensors

Vibration in buildings, tunnels

Our environmental monitoring solutions now have an added function of structural monitoring – earth quakes, building cracks, abnormal vibration etc. This is to the existing detectors such as Indoor Air Quality, CO2 levels, Ambient light, Volatile Organic compounds etc.

The IP 65 modules are integrated on a mesh network to ensure longer range within buildings, and failsafe data transmission on to the gateway devices for data visualisation and data analytics.

The data can also be pushed on to a MODBUS or BMS systems for shutting odd and stopping hazardous equipment

With their high detection accuracy, our structural monitoring sensor modules help with measures to prevent secondary damage after earthquakes in a variety of settings.

As an index, the SI value has a higher correlation with the seismic intensity scale of Japan than the maximum acceleration does. This makes it possible to make judgments that accurately reflect structural damage.

Preventing Secondary Damage through structural monitoring

Semiconductor manufacturing
Petro chemical plants
Heritage buildings, bridges and tunnels
Distribution panels in buildings
Hospitals and elderly care centres
Electricity panels in housing complexes
Distribution systems in factories
Newly constructed buildings

Mapping the seismic intensity and building collapse information, the integrated vibration Sensor communications enable the collection of earthquake information to map damage conditions by area. Creating suitable restrictions for traffic within buildings.

The all in a box earthquake monitoring solution comes with appropriate sensor modules, power cables, gateway device, data visualisation tools, plugins for Modbus and BMS integration and API for cloud enablement.
