About CSIRO
CSIRO is Australia ’ s national science agency .
CSIRO started life as the Advisory Council of Science and Industry in 1916 and has advanced Australia with a range of inventions and innovations that have had significant positive impact on the lives of people around the world since . These include fast WiFi , polymer banknotes , the CSIRO Total Wellbeing Diet and Aerogard , just to name a few .
CSIRO works with industry , government and the research community to turn science into solutions to address Australia ’ s greatest challenges , including food security and quality ; clean energy and resources ; health and wellbeing ; resilient and valuable environments ; innovative industries ; and a secure Australia and region .
buildings are already standing however , gathering data would have been difficult without the use of software .
“ Structural wiring would have had to be done between floors of buildings , we would have been there for a good while just doing the structured cabling ,” David Tripp , O ’ Brien Electrical Wantirna Director , said .
“ But using simPRO IoT we could do this wirelessly and simply retrofit sensors . It was such an advantage .”
Peter Darley , simPRO regional director ( Asia Pacific ), said this setup and data collection is made possible by the technology used by simPRO IoT .
About O ’ Brien
“ simPRO IoT uses a Low Powered Wide Area Network standard called LoRaWAN . This enables the remote monitoring solution to be retrofitted to assets already installed in a building ,” he said . “ It is also perfect for commercial applications like this because it is low frequency and has a long range and is able to penetrate buildings and other obstructions .”
Once collected from assets , data can be viewed and interpreted in simPRO ’ s customisable dashboard .
“ We ’ re really excited to have been able to work with O ’ Brien and CSIRO on this fantastic project ,” Darley said . “ It shows that IoT can be used for an incredibly broad range of use cases . IoT has an exciting future for many industries throughout Australia and overseas .” p
