Wzzard Mesh Gen 2 improves on previous models in ease of usability and total cost of ownership, while also expanding end-user applications. It includes a light industrial model, ideal for commercial applications that don’t need a full rugged IP67 design. The new price point of the commercial application model also allows for quick and easy ROI.
Some main benefits of the new intelligent devices include:
Configuration and device management is completed through an enhanced cloud device management tool included with the hardware. It includes: status information, diagnostic information, firmware updates and bulk operations.
Wzzard Gen 2 now includes a light industrial model, ideal for commercial applications that don’t need a full rugged IP67 design.
Gen 2 includes a new sleep mode to extend battery life and simplify installation, and has the ability to monitor 100 nodes per gateway. Gen 2 has extended battery life for more than 5 years.
The enhanced cloud device management tool is included with the hardware purchase and allows for management of status information, diagnostic information, firmware updates and bulk operations. Additionally, sensor nodes can be physically deployed, then configured and managed remotely, decreasing cost of installation and ownership. This eliminates the need for specialized installation skill-sets.
The Wzzard intelligent wireless sensor platform creates a complete, quick and easy connectivity stack between sensors and applications. The platform uses Wzzard mesh sensor edge nodes and a self-forming, self healing wireless mesh network to transmit sensor data to a SmartSwarm Gateway. Both Ethernet and carrier-certified cellular options are available. Users are also able to utilize the Node-RED application platform on the Wzzard gateway, enabling local decision making, alerts and data conversion at the edge of the network.
