We put a smart networking node inside each light. Always powered on, elevated, routinely inspected and densely scattered around the site, lights are the perfect host for network nodes.
And we just happen to have spent the last 15 years perfecting the best industrial lights in the world.
Each light only needs to service the small area around itself and then transfer data onto its neighbour for re-transmission.
Propagation, coverage or wiring issues become irrelevant as data moves quickly and efficiently from light to light. Robust network is created regardless of the site’s size or complexity, and even in hard-to-reach areas with no CB radio or Wi-Fi coverage.
Hive mind at your service
Once powered on, all the lights can automatically connect covering the entire site in a robust wireless mesh network.
Every light constantly detects and reports on important surrounding activity and environmental changes, creating an in-depth audit trail that penetrates even the most remote, least accessible areas of the site.
The best part is how easy it is to kick off the digitisation process with BitCortex. No extra cost, no extra effort, no disruptions, no wiring, and no coveted IT specialist that are never on-site. All that is needed to enable digitisation on any complex, large sites is to choose BitCortex compatible lights. They don’t require any more installation than normal fittings and the rollout can be done progressively, as part of routine lighting maintenance.
BitCortex allows mining and industrial sites to kick off their digitisation journey by buying a basic prerequisite – lighting.
There are hundreds of IoT services, and a dozen new ones are being developed as you read this sentence.
The catch is, you need a network to deploy them on.
And that’s when BitCortex comes in. Its robust network serves as a digital backbone and allows to effortlessly deploy hundreds of compatible IoT technologies.
Now you get to pick and choose. Think of it as an industrial AppStore – once you have it on your phone, you can install any of the thousands of apps ranging from games to social media to photography or complex calculators, depending on where your interests lie.
Same principle. Larger scale.
Get notified of any abnormalities and schedule maintenance in advance before costly accidents occur.
Locate people everywhere on-site in real-time including inside, on multiple levels and in areas with no CB radio coverage.
Immediately locate tagged equipment anywhere on site.
Here are some third-party IoT services that can be deployed through BitCortex network.
You can even have technologies that don’t exist yet. New IoT services are developed every day, and as they emerge, they too can be deployed through BitCortex network. Ultimate futureproofing.
