Energy & Industrial

Control Systems Remotely, Accurately, and Easily

Lantronix products provide remote access, control and troubleshooting – resulting in efficient data acquisition, control, reduced costs and even better customer service.

Updates to power systems are made simple, and devices already in place can be networked using Lantronix servers to reduce system construction costs.

Reduce Costs and Save Resources

With Lantronix technology, costs related to power failures, human meter readings, inaccurate data collection and more are all drastically reduced if not virtually eliminated. Now you can control your entire system, read meters, and allocate power according to need from one central location.

 

Substation Energy

Regional energy company chooses Lantronix solution to meet strict cyber security compliance requirements

  • Centralized, out-of-band network management
  • Standardized control over end-user access to the network
  • Elevated security of entire network environment
  • Out-of-the-box compliance to new regulations
  • Reduced cost and complexity of network management

“We’re responsible for keeping the lights on in the region. With the Lantronix solution, we can completely control who has access to our IT infrastructure.”

Solutions Overview
Automated Meter Reading

Get Real-Time Meter Data

In commercial applications, automated meter readings and real-time data acquisition are necessary to allow the power company to bill based on usage without physical meter readings. By networking meters to routers and central computer systems, utilities can identify exactly where the power is going within a given building and bill accordingly.

Reduce Your Overhead
Gone are the days when you had to send a technician out to read meters at every location. Remote control and the ability to read devices out in the field from a single, central location reduce your staffing requirements drastically—and allow you to keep your best people in house—not on the street.

Bill Customers More Accurately
Lantronix makes accurate billing without physical meter readings easy. Meters are networked to a centralized computer system showing exactly where power is going – helping power companies bill based on actual usage without the need to send someone to read the meter.

Protect Critical Areas

Reduce Chances of Power Outages Remotely

For facilities where power failure is not an option, including hospitals, certain factories and “mission critical” areas, power outages are not just an inconvenience–they can have critical or even fatal consequences. Lantronix device servers enable companies to sense when and where power is pegged at a near-maximum level and then automatically slowed or shut down to protect the critical areas.

Allocate Power to Where It’s Needed Most
Real-time data on the network enables you to decide where to allocate power in low-supply situations, saving mission critical areas or even simply reducing overall costs.

Identify Where Power is At Maximum—and React from a Remote Location
Lantronix device servers can indicate where power has almost reached maximum levels helping to identify where power needs to be reduced or shut off to prevent an outage. This is especially important for hospitals, factories, and mission critical areas of many businesses.

Broad Compatibility

No More Compatibility Problems

The utilities industry has long recognized the benefits of IP-based communication. At the substation level, however, there are often compatibility issues with communication hardware as a result of it having come from a variety of vendors. With their versatility and protocol independence, Lantronix device servers can bring together a diverse array of serial devices on the network.

Dependable—Especially at Critical Moments
Lantronix device servers’ remote management capability makes them dependable tools for monitoring power allocations during critical high-demand periods.

Heat Wave, Rain, Snow – Bring It On!
Metering and power-generating equipment is often located in environments where weather is a real factor. Featuring DIN rail mounting and ruggedized housings, Lantronix products are designed to withstand potential weather-related damage and temperature extremes. They also and feature specialized mounting and housings which ensure equipment safety.

Industrial Automation

Increase Equipment Efficiency and Productivity

In today’s industrial environment, the quest for greater efficiency, productivity, quality control and inventory management is practically universal. As a result, the need for more efficient control of equipment such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), robots, process control equipment, temperature monitoring systems, barcode scanners, scales and mixing stations is increasing dramatically. Lantronix devices can facilitate the need for control, diagnosis, repair, and communication between equipment—making factories run more smoothly.

Monitor, Manage and Control Equipment from Anywhere

Ethernet is rapidly gaining momentum in industrial automation with high speeds and the ability to simultaneously support multiple protocols. Lantronix products enable manufacturers to take advantage of Ethernet to remotely monitor, manage and control equipment over a network or the Internet. This improves efficiency by providing real-time access and control of all types of industrial automation equipment from virtually anywhere.

Enhance Device Communication with External or Embedded Solution

Lantronix offers external and embedded device server products to properly link your equipment to the network. External device servers can be established within minutes, and embedded units within a few weeks. Both options allow you to easily and inexpensively enhance communication, functionality and intelligence.

Keeping Product Development on the Fast Track

Rockwell Automation needed to maintain its industrial automation market leadership by upgrading its networking capabilities. To reduce development costs and engineering resources, Rockwell relied on the expertise of Lantronix. Lantronix’ XPort device server enabled Rockwell Automation to reduce development costs and hasten time-to-market — giving them a competitive advantage.

Building Automation

Control All Systems from a Central Location

Facilities managers are responsible for overseeing and improving building safety as well as reducing energy costs. Lantronix building automation technology helps create an intelligent building, giving managers the ability to control each system from one single location.

Manage and Diagnose Systems Remotely

With a single building management network, remote management and control is possible for:

  • Security systems
  • HVAC
  • Lighting
  • Elevators
  • Fire and burglary systems
  • Electrical and water metering
  • Building access

Reduce Energy Consumption and Overall Costs

Managing HVAC systems properly is a key factor in the reduction of energy consumption and costs for a building. Networking these systems alone can result in a dramatic cost savings. From building safety to cutting costs, Lantronix building automation solutions help to enhance the intelligence of a building and the peace of mind of facilities managers.

Cutting Expensive HVAC Bills Dramatically at University of South Florida

To manage their HVAC systems, USF spent thousands of dollars monthly to lease phone lines that provided slow Internet connections and were inefficient for monitoring technicians. The integration of Lantronix’ device server technology allowed USF to network enable multiple buildings’ HVAC systems via a high speed Ethernet connection to a centralized control center.
