AVE Technologies and Senquip bring years of experience to the problem of remote monitoring. Senquip’s philosophy is to use leading-edge technology to get simple-to-use, relevant, connected solutions to harsh Australian industrial sites.

The Senquip ORB-X1 exists to simplify remote monitoring and will save time and money by monitoring and controlling remote systems and sensors locally through the internet.

The Senquip ORB works great in rugged environments where IP ratings are essential and external antennas are likely to be damaged. Senquip ORB is typically mounted on a pole, on walls, and externally on machines. Users can write their own JavaScript on Senquip telemetry devices to process measurements, create custom events and control connected systems.

Senquip ORB will connect any industrial sensor to the internet

The comprehensive array of in-built sensors, the capability to interface to most industrial measurement devices, and the tough enclosure mean that the Senquip ORB-X1 works in diverse applications across many industries.

SENQUIP ORB-X1 BENEFITS

The Senquip ORB has a very low power usage at 120mA whilst running, measuring, and connected to LTE and only 65uA when asleep. It utilises an internal LiPO battery, with four AA batteries for expansion and 10-75VDC power input. You can connect a solar panel directly to the power input (no regulator required), connect it to an existing DC supply, or run it on battery for up to 3 years with 6 hourly measurement rate.

Senquip ORB uses Telstra LTE CAT-M1 and NB-IOT networks.
