InVMA Ltd announces its new technology solution for accessing remote equipment assets.

InVMA Ltd has launched its new InVMA Asset Minder M2M (machine to machine) service. InVMA Asset Minder uses a connection device to access data within equipment controllers and then transmits the data over industrial grade 2/3/4G data telephony to a cloud based server. The cloud system handles data aggregation and information processing, with secure user access to information through any web browser, anywhere, and equipment alarms pushed by SMS, email or telephone.

InVMA Asset Minder technology solves the problem of monitoring remote and often unmanned assets which are away from a plant or facility network. Applications include monitoring of industrial compressors, generators, power distribution, building automation, tank farms, energy monitoring, bore hole abstraction, effluent discharge and anything that may be considered as requiring 'remote PLC access'.

InVMA Asset Minder is cost effective to acquire and to operate as it is provided as SaaS (Software as a Service), with no initial large capital outlay. InVMA undertakes installation and integration of their InVMA Asset Minder intelligent connector, which non-intrusively accesses data from the equipment's controller (usually a PLC) and prepares it for onward transmission to the cloud based host via 2/3/4G secure data connectivity. Access to the resulting data is by a user's browser, with alerting by email and SMS. The available information is a rich set of live data, trends, history, alarms and status – available in real time – anywhere.

Patrick Nash, InVMA MD, 'InVMA Asset Minder was developed to meet actual and predictable remote equipment access requirements for our customers. We have a mixture of end users and OEM customers and each sees the benefit of the InVMA Asset Minder system; this always involves decreased unplanned downtime and the resulting increase in customer satisfaction. OEM service managers can readily obtain information about their remote assets and anticipate out-of-schedule servicing, become aware of critical trends and can remotely diagnose equipment stoppages. End Users receive operational KPI benefits from improved supplier insight and, where they undertake their own system support, they can now access off-site and remote assets for continuous monitoring.'

‘InVMA Asset Minder technology was thoroughly researched and field tested with several key equipment suppliers and operators, acording to Jan Hemper, InVMA technical director.

"[This] is a complete system from data acquisition to user interface. We can interface to all PLC’s and many other controllers, gateways and intelligent devices," he said. "We have taken a modular approach at all levels; this allows InVMA to deliver solutions in a standard and supportable format and to do so quickly."

InVMA Asset Minder is a system that uses the latest technology to bring substantial business benefits to its users at reduced cost when compared with traditional SCADA / Historian / Alarming solutions.
