OCTAVEX™ Wireless Sensor Framework

What is it?
The OCTAVEX™ Wireless Sensor Framework is only product of its kind. The OCTAVEX Framework is designed to assist end users, systems integrators, software developers, and OEMs in the deployment and management of wireless sensor networks.

The framework provides a backbone for wireless sensor network applications while taking an approach that is hardware and standards agnostic, allowing the user to implement an end to end solution quickly, easily and at a much lower cost than developing one in-house.

How does it work?
Able to simultaneously support any number of sensor points using different types of wireless protocols [including mesh networks like Zigbee, Wireless HART, point to point RF sensors, Bluetooth®, WiFi, RFID tags] the framework captures incoming sensor data at the OCTAVEX Universal Gateway.

Once the data comes into the framework, the OCTAVEX Core Services provide built in business logic such as archiving, reporting, alerting and trending. Through Web Services and software APIs, the OCTAVEX Framework can be easily integrated into other enterprise applications, building automation systems, or industrial process and control systems.

The OCTAVEX Web Console is a web-based user interface that can be customized to meet the needs of any user. With simple changes to the color scheme or by adding a company logo, an OEM can offer a completely branded wireless sensor networking solution.

No other software product offers this level of flexibility and functionality. The key features of the OCTAVEX Framework include:

  • Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) utilizing Web Services for easy integration and scalability
  • OCTAVEX Universal Gateway that communicates with any type of commercial or proprietary sensor device (patent-pending)
  • Core Services that provide built-in business logic including archiving, reporting, alerting, and trending
  • Backend Integration Modules that interface with enterprise software products and industrial communication protocols
  • Web-based User Interface providing an easy to use control panel for viewing real time sensor data, graphing historical trends, setting alert conditions, or creating custom reports
  • Open Architecture & APIs allowing the framework to be easily extended or customized
