Smart asset tagging system improves equipment maintenance

IRISS is introducing an asset tagging system with a difference. In essence, the E Sentry Connect-IR Asset Tag is a smart boiler plate system that works with any make or model of infrared window.

While the majority of similar products operate using RFID technology, this new IRISS system works in tandem with a smartphone using near field communication (NFC). It is described as low-cost and very easy to use, providing instant electronic access to inspection data for quick, safe and effective thermal inspections.

IRISS E Sentry Connect-IR uses the principle of inductive coupling to transfer information between the tag and the smartphone. As the communication device powers the tag, no batteries are required.

The tag, which is activated when the phone is nearby, contains all of the information relating to the IR window and inspections that need to be completed, as well as historic data from previous inspections. It can also be programmed to automate tasks such as send a text message, go to a web page, launch an app or run a task on a smartphone; all stored data can be erased and rewritten as needed.

In addition, the system can backup the data, report alarms and transmit other alerts via the free IRISS app. As an option, this information can be uploaded to the cloud for access by asset managers. It provides a data exchange point for updating information from the inspections, for checking assets' operational states and for setting inspection routes.

IRISS' E Sentry Asset Tag is now a standard feature on the IRISS CAP series infrared window and is available as an option on the VP Systems. It can also be purchased separately to use as required.
