PROJECT INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION

This project aims to achieve the development of a high-level prototype (in-house hardware development, industrial encapsulation and protections, certification) of an industry-oriented QDSN solution for use in itinerant monitoring applications (e.g. audits). Its differential characteristic is that it solves one of the main problems that have limited the expansion of this type of system: its difficulty of deployment, configuration, use and maintenance. The main advantages provided by this solution are: non-intrusive installation, which increases the level of plant digitalization with minimal impact on operations; flexibility of use thanks to the built-in sensors, the interface for industrial sensors, and its wireless architecture; improved profitability ratios, derived from the absence of wiring and simpler and faster installation and maintenance than other solutions; easy maintenance, thanks to the smart maintenance protocol that minimizes the need for human interaction; horizontal and vertical integration, thanks to the use of the latest standards of the Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 standards; high robustness, despite the use of wireless communications, thanks to the use of new deterministic, frequency-hopping, industrial-range technologies; and the use of the highest cybersecurity standards.
