A full partnership: from the analysis of requirements to delivering the OEM branded complete system. Imbu’s holistic approach allows to jointly develop the best systems – technically, practically and up to how they can be monetised most effectively.
Complete IoT solutions, made to order, give OEMs real-time insight into the operation of their machines, used in situ. IoT offers increased reliability & reduced costs and enhances safety.
We provide an easy to understand, made to measure web-based portal, that allows OEM & end-users to make informed decisions, based on real-time data.
We cooperate with a number of major OEMs and clients. One of them, Howden, manufactures large compressors. Its IoT remote monitoring and performance evaluation system, UPTIME, designed and manufactured by IMBU, is the result of close and iterative cooperation. It was delivered “ready to go” and is being used on 3 continents.
Step by step: understanding the OEM’s operation and machines (keeping IoT monetization in mind) – jointly decide what to measure, transmit & power – electronics design, optimizing sensors, comms, batteries, etc. – build digital twin, if applicable – finalize clear presentation of results – field test and iterate as needed to go from engineering to market-ready.
We can deliver market ready solutions because we have “in house” most, if not all, capabilities needed for each project: from the business case analysis via technical understanding of the OEM’s equipment to know-how in the fields of electronics, communications, sensors, power saving, etc… This allows optimal design & manufacturing, running quick control iterations of prototype(s) in order to rapidly supply complete IoT solutions.
This complexity is what we find interesting. The IMBU team likes to be challenged in this respect. Over time, we have accumulated a substantial level of expertise and know how in addressing these problems. Today, our systems work in hot deserts, in – 40°C, off shore, in hazardous areas and in dusty mines.
In remote environments, designing an installation with low power consumption is critical but very challenging.
We have realized IoT solutions in desert environments with temperatures of over 60°C and in arctic environments where temperatures drop below -40°C.
Our IoT solutions can be found in remote and harsh environments (e.g. Nigerian delta, Kazakh remote locations, off shore, mining trucks, etc….).
Water, salt, remoteness, and chance collisions. At IMBU we have extensive experience in the offshore industry.
Low bandwidth can be challenging. It often demands analytics performed at the edge and minimizing the amount of data being uploaded.
Our compressor analytics can be packaged in enclosures and with barriers that allow its use in hazardous areas.
Smartcard is a self-contained, location-aware, mini beacon that is packaged into a credit-card form-factor.
Smartbolt is a self-contained, location-aware, miniaturized beacon packaged into an M24 bolt form-factor.
As connectors and cables are often the weakest links, IMBU has engineered its own sturdy line of cables.
Fully self-contained reciprocating machinery performance and condition analysis setup. Full remote compressor performance analysis!
Fully self-contained reciprocating machinery performance and condition analysis setup, half the IO-count of the SPEAK 2400 & half the size!
High-frequency sampling of vibration, pressure and rod-drop sensors, crank-angle referenced.
The IMBU Transmitter Module is responsible for offloading all data coming from the IO modules and 3rd party systems.
