Industry Applications

RIO Sentry collects data from critical industrial equipment – such as battery voltage, amperage, oil temperature, oil pressure, engine speed, and even remaining hours of service – and makes this information available so you can monitor it anywhere. With RIO Sentry, you see the harbingers of equipment problems long before failure occurs… in time to address the problem and avert catastrophe.  RIO Sentry is especially useful for standby systems, so that you know your equipment will turn on and stay running.  

These example applications illustrate how Resource IO tools protect important equipment in many different industries.

Temporary Power for Events

Easy to install and monitor remotely, RIO Sentry is ideal for monitoring the operation of power generators at events such as sporting events, concerts, festivals, and parties, where a reliable power supply is crucial to the event’s success.

Compressors

Like generators, compressors such as those used in sprinkler systems and pneumatic equipment need to be monitored regularly to ensure proper operation. With RIO Sentry, you’ll know if your compressor is ailing before it fails, so you can fix it before damage occurs and maintain continuous operation. Our high-availability data center ensures message delivery and escalates notifications if issues are not addressed, so you can be certain that alerts will be received and acted upon.

Factories

Resource IO specializes in managing equipment of all kinds. Factories can use our tools and services to create custom monitoring, control, and management solutions that ensure optimal operation of your equipment. In many cases, our tools simply plug in to existing factory systems to provide detailed data on machine operation, viewable from any computer in the factory, over a secure web site, or even via email, mobile phone, pager or text message.

Hospitals and Emergency Services

Perhaps more than any other organization, hospitals and emergency services need the assurance that their power generators will work reliably when needed. While these organizations often cycle their generators once a week to test them, they frequently lack a comprehensive way to check generator status to ensure that it’s functioning properly beyond powering up. Resource IO provides detailed data that alerts maintenance teams to problems like high temperature, low pressure, low fuel level, and low battery so they can fix the problem before the generator fails. And at a hospital, that’s a matter of life or death. 

Construction

With RIO Sentry, you can keep tabs on the health and operation of heavy equipment, such as earth moving equipment, forklifts, cranes and paving equipment. Equipment operators are usually not trained to detect impending equipment problems, and may be more interested in getting the job done quickly regardless of possible damage to equipment. RIO Sentry monitors your equipment from a central location and notifies you of imminent equipment trouble prior to damage. You can be secure in the knowledge that someone other the operator is looking after your valuable assets and will ensure they are properly serviced.    

Large Engines, such as Locomotives and Trucks

RIO Sentry is an excellent way to monitor the status and service hours large engines, such as those used to propel locomotives and trucks. For example, when oil pressure is low, engine temperature is high, RIO Sentry can send a notification to the company, which could then notify the driver and direct him to a service center. In addition to peace of mind on long journeys through remote areas, RIO Sentry can save unnecessary engine checks as well as prevent failures that require costly repairs.
