Amega Scientific Corporation provides Centralized Monitoring and Alarm Systems (CMS) that monitor key temperature, humidity and other inputs, sends alarm notification and archives data - all while keeping you compliant! Over the past 10 years, Amega Scientific Corporation has become a leader in centralized monitoring systems.
The AmegaView CMS was designed with the EPA and FDA Regulation mandates (GLP/GMP) in mind, and makes it a snap to meet regulatory requirements including 21 CFR Part 11 compliance and Joint Commission, FDA AABB, CLIA, ICH, ISO 17025 and other governing agency standards.
Technical Skills – Solar Technology, Texas Instruments MSP430 Series Processor, Texas Instrument CC1100E RF module, TI Simplicity Wireless Protocol
The Task - Design Solar Powered Sensors to Create a Battery-less Monitoring Solution Amega Scientific designs monitoring systems comprised of a variety of sensor types used across the United States and Canada within Hospitals, Blood Banks, Pharmacies, Laboratories, Invitro Labs, Forensic Labs and within various Government Facilities. These systems must be ultra reliable and require little or no maintenance. The current sensor nodes operate either wired or wireless. The current wireless sensors contain batteries that must be checked and replaced to ensure constant up time. The requirement for the new product was to support dependable solar powered wireless sensors to replace the battery driven sensors in some installations.
The RightHand Solution - Solar Cell solution with Power Storage and Ultra Low Power RF Transmissions.
RightHand's complete design included a board schematic and layout, board embedded application firmware, customized RF protocol, power collection and storage circuitry and power management software. The solution uses the latest Texas Intruments MSP430 ultra low power processor and CC1100 Radio. Power management software monitors power storage and adjusts to the environment while the solar cells collect and store power for operation in evening hours.
The system's gateway can communicate with multiple sensors and pass the sensor reading and stored power data to the central monitoring system. The system also uses TI’s Simplicity protocol, which is a slimmed down version of Zigbee. It is perfect for a low power system.
