CIMTechniques provides an easy to use web-based system for continuously monitoring just about anything located anywhere on the planet. The system is called CIMScan and can automatically issue alerts via email, text message, pager, and voice telephone when an abnormal condition is detected. The current status or history of any monitoring point can be viewed at any time via the Internet using a simple web browser. We are focused on monitoring locations where critical materials are stored or processed, where energy and water is consumed or generated, and on the environment (air and water quality, weather, flood control, etc.).
