Measuring the New Way
Measuring the New Way (Het Nieuwe Meten in Dutch) is a phrase coined by Munisense, to describe their advanced form of wireless data acquisition. The idea is made possible by three previously developed technologies: wireless sensor networks, the internet, and statistical analysis.[2] The combination of these technologies shapes new horizons for a variety of industries and organizations and is combined in the Munisense INSIGHTNOW™ service.[3]
INSIGHTNOW™
INSIGHTNOW™ system is made of three components: the back-office, the portal, and wireless sensor networks.[4] All the data is stored in the back-office and can be accessed by the user through the portal. The wireless sensor networks are the measurement and actuation networks on location. INSIGHTNOW™ platform is based on ZigBee of which Munisense is an active member.[5]
