Spinwave Systems Introduces Wireless Energy Management System.

The WaveLink product line is a comprehensive wireless sensing and control solution for energy savings programs. The technology allows building owners to cut their energy costs and reduce their carbon emissions in less time than with hard-wired technologies, and with lower installation costs. Flexible configurations of wireless sensors and control devices can be installed quickly with minimal disruption to daily operations.

Wireless sensors and controls can be installed without labor-intensive processes such as drilling through walls and ceilings, making it possible to retrofit existing buildings much more efficiently than would be possible with a wired installation.

Once in place, the systems monitor and automatically control energy consumption, resulting in significant energy savings from the day of installation. Systems can be configured for a variety of different buildings, and have been deployed in hotels, schools, commercial office buildings, and retail facilities, often producing energy savings of over 40 percent, according to the company.

“The use of wireless technology makes it feasible to install a comprehensive energy savings system in buildings where it otherwise wouldn’t be cost-effective, or even possible, to install energy management technology,” says Rainer Wischinski, Spinwave’s Vice President of Marketing.

The WaveLink product line includes wireless thermostat controllers, sensors, input/output modules, and a Modbus radio module that allows existing Modbus RTU devices to be wirelessly enabled. A web-enabled gateway allows the systems to be configured, monitored, and maintained using only a web browser. The gateway can be easily accessed by automation systems through Modbus TCP or Modbus RTU.

Spinwave (tm) Systems, of Westwood, Massachusetts, is a developer of wireless sensors and controls specifically designed for commercial building automation. (4/22/08)
