Continuous Infrared Monitoring for Mission Critical Environments

Electronic Environment Infrastructure Solutions is pleased to announce a new Level 2 Continuous Infrared Monitoring Assessment that utilizes innovations created at MIT and in partnership with the delivery expert and inventor, MIT PhD, Long Phan. Unlike an infrared “snapshot” that can show a static image of temperature mappings for analysis, this “continuous monitoring” assessment provides the ability to analyze temperature sensitivity in “virtual zones” of interest for periods of days, and thus providing better analysis of systemic issues around load and ongoing operations.

How the Service Works

• A walk-through of the mission critical environment is conducted and key equipment and/or problematic areas are identified. 
• Small infrared cameras are temporarily setup on tripods or similar mounts, and wired to a laptop or PC for collection. 
• Within the field of vision of each infrared camera, virtual zones of interest are defined; each will become a separate video data stream to stop/start and examine thermal temperature at a point in time.
• The monitoring period begins/ends – usually 3 days. The video streams are post-processed for client/service provider analysis.
• A layout of the camera field of vision and virtual zones is presented, along with the post-processed continuous for each virtual zone with associated time/date stamp and temperature readings.
• All video data streams remain the property of the client, and can later be used for comparative analysis where planned improvements have been made.

So What’s the Big Deal?

There is nothing like this available in the market place. Electronic Environment Infrastructure Solutions will move
from this Phase 2 offering for our clients to a fully continuous infrared monitoring solutions working with Dr. Long
Phan into ‘2014. The solutions build on Phase 2 and will:

• The fully continuous monitoring video significantly helps justify temporary versus capital improvements in critical environments; much better analysis of temperature variations over time.
• Allow clients to place inexpensive infrared cameras throughout an environment that can be used for multiple applications - continuous thermal monitoring of environments, as well as people and objects.
• By defining virtual zones of thermal interest, any subset of a field of vision for a camera or cameras can capture video data streams for manual or automatic analysis to alert standards.
• Operational intelligence dashboards will be configured for clients to analyze continuous workload changes in their mission critical environments and selected virtual zones.
• The “Big Data of Infrared” data streams will be managed in a public or private cloud but in all cases be secure and owned only by the client.

What is the Cost and How Do I Get Started?

If your site qualifies, there is NO CUSTOMER FEE for the Utility Funded forensic study, including the walk through
analysis and equipment setup/takedown.
