Transform operations with end-to-end IIoT telemetry solutions

15 Jan, 2025

Aircom, YZ System’s new product line, is a telemetry device currently deployed by UK water companies for applications such as monitoring CSOs, flow, pressure, reservoir levels, borehole levels, and more.

Aircom is an intrinsically safe, IP68 telemetry solution which is capable of powering and sending data from up to five analogue instruments, four digitals, as well as Modbus serial comms. It is also capable of providing digital outputs which allows it to perform control applications. For example, Aircom has the capability to take water level readings, and based on those readings turn pumps on or off.

Aircom transmits data via LoRaWAN which is a long-range, low power communications protocol. This has resulted in us being able to deploy Aircom at ranges of 40+ miles and achieve a battery life of 10+ years. This means that assets in remote areas are both easy to deploy and require little maintenance, thus reducing operational expenses.

Once LoRaWAN data is received by a gateway, it can then be sent to wherever the customer wishes, either directly to a SCADA system on site, or to dashboards hosted either locally or on the cloud. This permits near-real time monitoring for a variety of assets in remote and hazardous environments.
