Dish Control Unit (Solar Thermal)

A Solar Thermal system uses a large, reflective, parabolic dish (similar in shape to satellite television dish) to focus all the sunlight, that strikes the dish, up onto a single point above the dish, where a receiver captures the heat and transforms it into a useful form. The advantage of a dish system is that it can achieve higher temperatures due to the higher concentration of light. Higher temperatures lead to better conversion to electricity and the dish system is very efficient on this point.

The most common problems with these dishes are related to the management and movement of the dishes and that is where we step in. Our Dish Control Unit (DCU) is based on advanced 32 bit ARM processor to control the vertical and horizontal rotation as well as management of a solar dish. Our controller performs the most complicated task of tracking the sun as long as appropriate. It takes inputs from a Sun Sensor and also from its Solar Position Algorithm to accurately determine the solar angle and then commands the elevation and azimuth actuators to move the dish. Necessary safety measures are incorporated to protect the dish in adverse weather.

Solar Hybrid Controller

Solar Hybrid Controller is micro controller based smart device for sun tracking when installed in a tree of PV Panels. With axis of tree being perpendicular to the earth surface, the SmarTree controller tracks sun using Solar Position Algorithm. The controller has an efficient BLDC Driver to control 24V BLDC Motor. It requires a Lead Acid battery to Power up and also has Battery charging circuit inbuilt to charge the battery when sufficient solar power is available. A separate PV Panel is required for charging purpose. The controller has all safety features included such as low battery functioning, high current protection etc. Powered by 32 bit micro controller, it is a standalone package performing complex tasks.

PV Tracker (Single & Dual Axis)

Tracking PV Panels has proved better efficiency over Static PV Panels in Power Generation. PVTracker Common Control Unit is a 32 Bit ARM Microcontroller based unit which can control Multiple MDUs (Motor Driver Unit) at a time. CCU has inbuilt Solar positioning algorithm to control and track single and dual axis MDUs.

Each RCU has an inclinometer for positioning and it can control a 12-24V DC Motor for sun tracking. A Combination of Multiple CCUs with MDUs is suitable for Power Generation at large Solar Field.

Additionally a Single Master Controller (MCU) can be installed to control whole field from single point. GSM Gateway can also be installed with MCU to monitor complete Solar Field from any remote place.

Automated Control Panel (Mainfold)

Digital and Analog ACP Systems developed by us have been deployed in Hospitals across the country. Automated Control Panel (ACP) is a panel attached to 2-4 banks having multiple gas cylinders. As soon as the gas in one bank runs low, it sounds an alarm and switches to the other bank. Specific colored LED lights indicate the bank in use and the bank on standby. The device also indicates whether the gas pressure is normal or low along the banks and the mains. The feature of parallel system is available where multiple displays are placed at different(or floors) which also show the same indicators as in the main System.

Gas Pressure Monitoring Systems

The system measures the pressure of the different gases coming from the pipe lines and indicates the measured levels on the panel in Psi or bar. In case of High Pressure or Low Pressure it gives the relevant Alarm. The alarm shows on the Master Pressure Monitoring System which is placed with the Administration and can also be communicated through SMS (using our GSM Gateway). Digital and Analog Gas Alarm Systems come in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7and 8 gas categories where the number indicates the number of gases the system can handle.

Nurse Call System

Nurse Call system acts as an interface between patients and the hospital administration/nurses. The main unit is placed with the administrator and its subordinate ‘Corridor panels’ placed outside every room. The corridor panel is connected to the very compact, easy to handle bed panels which are used by the patients to call the nurse.

Nurse Call System makes the patient administration efficient and greatly simplifies patient care. The patient can press the appropriate button when assistance is required, which will then show on the corridor and main panels. If the nurse is near the room, she will see the corridor panel light and immediately assist the patient. Otherwise, the attendant at the main panel can acknowledge the call, which will light up the LED ‘waiting’ on the bed panel informing the patient his call has been acknowledged. The main panel displays the corridor wise and room wise segregation of panels. Patient bed remote and Toilet Unit can also be integrated

The usual problems associated with installing such systems are extensive and complicated wiring. The usage of single photo cable wiring in Nurse Call System makes sure wiring is easy and not extensive.

Operation Theater Control Panel

The success of any surgical treatment is the absolute priority. It must not be affected by any technical disturbances. Our solution for operating theatres ensures the reliability of the electrical installation. It also provides you with the control of your operating theatre environment. This allows you to focus entirely on the success of your operation.

This panel is used to monitor gas pipeline pressure, indicate elapsed time in operation, day clock, and temperature, humidity values and also control several systems such as operation theaters lights, fans and their speed. Illumination and air conditioning system can be controlled by a relay group on the control panel. Additional accessories and equipment can be added to the panel according to the requirement.

Parking Ticket Dispenser and Parking Counters

Under the initiative of Make in India, we have developed Automatic Parking Ticket Dispenser controllers. With use of advanced technology, our controller is capable of automating parkings of Malls, Hospitals, Offices with multiple entries and exits. Our controller provides interface for Thermal Printer, Barcode Scanner, RFID, separate Boom barriers for two wheeler and four wheeler, Camera, LCD and other Input/Output controls. Inbuilt ethernet LAN enables it to get connected and controlled by central server where data can be stored. With option of complete customization from central server, our system is robust and easy to install on different site without need of firmware changes.

Parking Counters for multi-floor parking structure is also provided by us. A remote display can be installed at the entry of parking for displaying current parking availability on different floors. Separate display for each floor can also be installed. Central CPU can be configured easily for the first time which is than capable of counting on its own by using Parking IN/OUT sensors installed and connected to it.
