GSM and wireless technology for railways and the leisure industry - consultancy

We have been busy and we have rather neglected the blog, sorry.

So what have we been busy on and why might it be interesting for you?

Over the last 12 months we have been involved in two major programmes featuring custom designs for our customers. Both these programmes are nearing the final delivery phase and will complete before the end of the year.

One has been the development of a tracking system for leisure equipment. This started simply enough as the integration of GSM, accelerometer and GPS technology into an anti-theft system. Over a 9 month development the product features were enhanced and wireless key fob capabilities, to arm and disarm the system, added.

As is often the case, as the customer understands the possibilities that our consultancy and design service offers, they seek to enhance the product. The final production units should be in the shops in December this year and we'll provide all the product details after the launch.

Track-side testing at feasibility study stage

The other big programme has been in the rail industry. It has featured a carefully graduated feasibility programme that is leading to a production ready system. The design provides telemetry information from the track-side to a remote server that can monitor the track condition.

This program will save the customer money by putting in place, preventative maintenance actions, before damaging rail and wheel wear occur. It has brought together data acquisition in an electrically noisy environment, GSM telemetry, expert systems and web based delivery of information.

We have also expanded our own range of capabilities over the last year so that now we have a wider range of engineering building blocks solutions that we can assemble to meet customer requirements. Is there a problem in your organisation that we could help you find the answer to?

Get in touch with us and talk it through, perhaps we already have most of the answers you are looking for. www.emmtek.co.uk

New proposal for customer

For the next few days we'll be refining a proposal based around our GPS and GSM building blocks to create a customised product for a new end customer.

Small size and low power drain are key elements in this design. As usual, time scales are short and the budget is 'constrained'. We love a challenge!

Our first blog entry

Welcome to the new EMM-Tek blog.

It's the place where we can keep you up to date with new products and features from EMM-Tek and anything else we find interesting.

Expect to see blog entries about GSM communications, GPS positioning, tracking, machine to machine communications and more besides.

We hope you'll find it useful and just occasionally fun!
