The rapid growth in wireless technology has resulted in a plethora of new products and devices, including those used by HVAC professionals. Manufacturers are responding to the demand by offering a wide range of wireless tools they believe will help contractors and technicians do their jobs more accurately and efficiently.
Cooper Atkins Corp. offers NotifEye, a cloud-based monitoring and notification system that uses wireless sensors to detect temperature and humidity changes, monitor inventory, and send data wirelessly for access on any smart device. Patti Ellingson, director of industrial sales, noted the system is a cost-effective alternative to having to hardwire sensors throughout a building. “The cost savings on average per job is 60 percent since this is a self-installable system that does not require the drilling of walls and running of wire.”
