When an ATM fails in is most likely to be one of the following causations:
the utility power such as that supplied by the municipality or Eskom has failed;the ATM hardware has failed; andthe network connectivity to the ATM has failed. In all cases a network management tool does not provide causation. The loss of connectivity to the ATM and the ATM infrastructure does not provide any measure of realtime diagnosis. Should power be restored the network management tool can potentially determine whether ther has been a power outage by referencing the system clock on the network equipment and determining if it has been reset.
Some network equipment have a "last gasp" functionality, but in most deployment cases this does not function. The equipment failure is combined upstream with a service provider failure and the alerts are not received.
The DS solution is to use a Powalert.
The Powalert is an Internet of Things sensor that interoperates with the wider range of se…

DS has an on board version of the PowaINFRA gateway that can be deployed on a vehicle. The gateway is powered by the 12V of the vehicle and typically installed under the dash. Additionally, the gateway has an extra sensor and metric ability of using Geo-location. The on board PowaINFRA gateway has the same capabilities as the standard PowaINFRA gateway and is compatible with the sensors in the PowaINFRA range.


Other vehicle tracking systems are typically wired and thus rely on the sensors to be connected to contacts on the main unit. No only is this a more difficult installation but it limits the number of sensors installed in a vehicle as it is not cost effective. Most vehicle installation of refrigerated trucks only have one temperature probe installed, either on the output or return vents of the cooling units. This is typically located at the front of the refrigeration trailer and the cooling varies within the trailer. Thus it is likely that the load can experience fr…

Temperature control and monitoring is the one of the most significant tools in the handling of perishable goods. Maintenance of a high relative humidity, and modification of the atmospheric composition can have a strong add-on effect, but is no substitute for good temperature control. The DS solution allows the constant and online monitoring of temperature and humidity and provides extensive reporting capabilities for compliance and auditability.
For this type of produce to be sold it has to be available in high grade and quality condition. This requires that the storage conditions be optimal. These conditions revolve not only around temperatures and humidity but additionally, room access control. It is important monitor conditions consistently and accurately and not only — not just to react when potential damage already has been done. The ultimate goal is to maintain a state of health as close as possible to 100 percent throughout the storage and distribution process…
