Twin System
TWIN is a powerful and fault-tolerant sensor-actuator-system: It is able to collect data from thousands of sensors over kilometer distances, process them locally or in the cloud, and reversely drive actuators at the site of the sensors. TWIN’s new and unique approach provides sensors inside a cable, encapsulated and well protected. At its core is our Computer-In-Cable-Technology™.
TWIN is specially designed for monitoring assets of up to 10km² and can withstand harsh environmental conditions. Among TWIN’s exciting features are:
- Massive array: thousands of sensors in one TWIN system, hundreds of sensors on one TWIN cable.
- Very high speed: samples 1,000 sensors per second with 12 bits resolution.
- Fault tolerant by design: short-circuit the cable, cut it, or destroy a sensor node and the system retains its full function.
- Extreme low power consumption: typically < 5W (can drive several hundred sensors even from a battery).
- Generic sensor interface: adapts to almost any sensor type.
- Data Output: actuator functionality at each node .
- Distributed Intelligence: local computing power at each node.
To these powerful features, add reliability and quality resulting from industrial production methods. TWIN systems are easy to document, maintain, extend and repair.
Furthermore, the system has complete remote configuration and maintenance capabilities.
TWIN is a game changer, enabling solutions for many problems, which are infeasible with conventional technology.
