Increased loads combined with resistive contacts can lead to significant increases in the temperature of critical switchgear components. The onset of Thermal runaway is highly likely in these situations, which if unchecked, can result in serious operator injury and system downtime. SenGenuity has developed a solution that includes the use of passive (no batteries, no energy harvesting) sensors and wireless readers to provide a cost effective and electrically non-invasive equipment monitoring solution.

  Wireless Rotating Solution
The use of wired sensors to measure the temperature of rotating surfaces with use of sliprings is costly and sometimes impractical. IR thermal imaging cameras provide a non-contact solution to this problem, however, they too turn out to be impractical when the rotating surface is moving at high speeds. SAW based passive (no batteries, no energy harvesting) temperature sensors provide a cost effective alternative to measuring temperatures on rotating equipment. Read more



  Wireless Food Probes

Surface Acoustic Wave Technology has the capability of making food probes completely wireless. SAW based passive (no batteries, no energy harvesting) temperature sensors embedded in the food probes are wirelessly interrogated by oven electronics via embedded antennae. Wireless food probes do away with the risk of handling hot cables when the taking food out of a heated ovens. Also, the probes can be cleaned easily without the added burden of a wired cable.

  Viscosity Sensing

The condition of oil and lubricants as they are used in engines and other important assets is becoming increasingly important as environmental concerns and economic constraints driven by fuel and lubricant prices are forcing manufacturers and consumers to optimize engine and equipment performance. Furthermore, the control of viscosity in high speed ink printing is critical to ensuring high quality finished product. Read more
