Built for the harshest environments on earth

The Neuron doesn't just collect data — it intelligently manages, time-stamps, and routes it to where your team needs it most.

🔌

Universal Sensor Interface

Connect any sensor, camera, or instrument — DGA monitors, moisture probes, temperature sensors, thermal cameras, handhelds — all through a single, standardized interface with out-of-the-box compatibility.

📶

Multi-Mode, Multi-Path Communications

Dual 802.11N radios, 4G LTE, RS-485, Ethernet, Zigbee, and Bluetooth provide redundant communication paths — ensuring your data always gets through, even in RF-challenging environments.

🧠

Edge AI Data Reduction

On-board intelligence filters, prioritizes, and pre-processes raw sensor data before transmission. Critical alerts are forwarded immediately; lower-priority data is batched — reducing bandwidth by up to 80%.

🛡️

Harsh Environment Rated

IP55-rated die-cast aluminum enclosure survives outdoor substations, hot server aisles, and industrial floors. Battery backup, surge protection, and a real-time clock keep operations continuous through power interruptions.

⏱️

Precision Time Synchronization

Every data point is time-stamped with real-time clock precision and synchronized across the entire sensor network — ensuring accurate sequence-of-events analysis and valid alarm correlation.

☁️

Cloud & On-Premise Flexible

Transmit to on-site servers, enterprise storage, or cloud-based PowerIntel analytics. HTTPS, FTP/S, and secure RPC protocols ensure data integrity end-to-end.

Deployed across the most demanding environments

The Neuron adapts to the specific monitoring challenges of each facility type.

New · 2024

🏢 AI Data Centers

As AI workloads push power density to unprecedented levels, the Neuron collects real-time thermal, power, and environmental data from every PDU, busway, transformer, and cooling unit. Its edge AI filtering surfaces thermal anomalies before they become failures — helping data center operators improve PUE and eliminate unplanned downtime.

Core Market

⚡ Electrical Substations

The Neuron aggregates data from thermal cameras, DGA monitors, moisture sensors, and protection relays across the substation yard. Multi-path communications ensure continuous data flow even when primary network paths are disrupted. Time-stamped data feeds the PowerIntel analytics engine for Sigma Delta Tau analysis.

High-Stakes

☢️ Nuclear & Fossil Generation

Nuclear and fossil generation facilities demand the highest reliability standards. The Neuron's IP55 enclosure, battery backup, and redundant communications make it the right tool for plant environments where data collection must be continuous, accurate, and tamper-evident.

Industrial

✈️ Airports, Ports & Industrial Facilities

From Hartsfield-Jackson to major port authorities, the Neuron provides the reliable data backbone for persistent thermal monitoring of critical power infrastructure at large-footprint facilities — where hundreds of measurement points need to be unified into a single coherent picture.
