Atomation has created a sensing technology that gives businesses the ability to monitor equipment and machinery that was previously unmonitored. The simplest way to understand the technology is to ask binary questions: Is the device on or off? Is the utility pole tilted or did it remain upright after impact? Is the motor vibrating more than it did yesterday? Is the bearing temperature too high when the machine is in operation? Is the compressor operating differently? Is the pump working? Is the temperature in the freezer decreasing or increasing? Atomation sensors, called Atoms, answer these questions and many more for their users. Small, wireless, and battery-operated with computing and memory capabilities, Atoms are easily installed and immediately operational. Atomation’s secret is the powerful edge computing capabilities that allow Atoms to recognize normal operational behavior for any device. Atoms continuously monitor and process information locally, instead of sending a constant stream of data back to a central system. When thresholds are exceeded or equipment is acting outside of normal, Atoms send alerts to the cloud, notifying users of problems before equipment fails or when events have occurred in the field that require attention.
