Connectivity

001
StrataHubs
Hubs collect, store and package data ready to be viewed on local device or sent to Short Interval Monitoring and Control (SIMAC)
002
Wireless
Connection
Total mine connection: data can be streamed wirelessly to control room for real time monitoring and evaluation
Where network connection is limited: StrataHubs store data and push data opportunistically when machine is within wireless range
Convenient fleet data: data is naturally and spontaneously available through wireless networks. No need for physical collection with USB keys or mobile devices

003

Machine-Side
Connection
(digital service tool)

Even without network, data can be transmitted to local laptop or android hand-held device for local review and interpretation. Later relayed to the central Short Interval Monitoring And Control (SIMAC) system
