Everactive, a technology company that sells category-defining batteryless, wireless Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, announced today a new generation of its Steam Trap Monitoring (STM) system designed to deliver predictive maintenance for large-scale steam system applications.
Everactive’s STM is a unique batteryless IoT system for steam traps that involves batteryless Eversensors connecting to a wireless IoT gateway using the Evernet 2.0 wireless network. With core advances in ultra-low-power electronics, system-level design, and wireless networking, Everactive makes it possible to continuously and indefinitely power Eversensors from harvested energy, thereby removing the need for batteries. Doing so enables Everactive customers to cost-effectively monitor industrial assets at scale.
Everactive’s new generation—based on its latest production chip technology—delivers wireless non-line-of-sight communication up to 250 meters (820 feet), or almost three football fields. This means complete coverage of a larger percentage of steam traps with far fewer gateways required throughout a facility. Everactive has increased the capacity of its IoT gateways to 1,000 Eversensors.
In addition to a much lighter footprint, the next-generation architecture also speeds up the installation process with a more fully integrated and sleeker mechanical design, as well as easier provisioning with an auto-pairing feature and QR code provisioning. Taken together, a single STM Eversensor can be installed on a steam trap and setup in the cloud in less than five minutes.
