Latest Innovation

The Smart Box is a new generation of wireless monitoring and control, designed for easy use and simple set up.

Key Features:
1. Monitor and control anything
2. Easy to setup and use. Plug and Play Monitoring

Smart Boxes diverse systems are created without the need for technical knowledge. Their low cost, size and power usage makes installing scalable distributed systems a straightforward matter. The advantages of Smart Box are its easy setup and Plug and Play feature making it child’s play. Smart Box also has a huge range of Sensors to choose from. Smart Box Sensors are pre-configured and contain the components necessary to take and automatically transmit measurements to a logger and on to the cloud.

British Research engineers set out to design such a system and to achieve this they focused on 3 main improvements; Easy, Choice and Versatility.

1. Easy
The Smart Box focus has been to make the whole system plug and play; this makes installation and setting up quick and easy. Engineers can setup up systems in minutes and non-technical users can quickly create their own monitoring solution. The control aspects are plug and play but require an understanding of the equipment you want to control. Other than that the Smart Box system is amazingly easy. The Smart Box and the Logger are plug and play and the sensors have been pre-calibrated to work straight out of the box. Just power on and the system can automatically send/receive data back to and from the cloud.

2. Choice
The second focus was choice. Our engineers have created a Smart Box for every Sensor. Don’t get our engineers wrong, there is a huge range of monitoring systems available as every sensor manufactured has their own Logger. Choice is great, but when you have to learn a new system for each monitoring and control application, it becomes difficult for both the engineers and management. Receiving complaints on how slow and time consuming multiple systems are is a usual factor, especially when having to learn new systems, remember old systems, repair or upgrade and having to add new requirements.
The British Research engineers designed the Smart Box System to give you a huge choice of Sensors in one plug and play system. We currently have over a hundred Smart Box Sensors available to choose from and are adding new Smart Box Sensors weekly; just find the Smart Box Sensors that meet your requirements and purchase it. Plug and Play out of the Box. Our engineers want a Smart Box for every Sensors and Transducer available, so anybody can define and build a monitoring and control system based on their requirements. For your control requirements, it is best you contact us and we can point you to the right Smart Box.

3.Versatile
Our engineers have designed the Smart Box System to allow any variation of Smart Box Sensors or Controls to be connected at any time. You can mix and match any Smart Box enabling you to build a very unique monitoring and control system very quickly. Each Smart Box is Plug and Play, so adding new Smart Boxes is an easy matter. In just one system you can monitor Soil Temperature, Soil Wetness, Leaf Wetness, Ambient Temperature, Sun Light and then whenever your monitoring requirements change, you can easily add a Water Level Sensors, Vibration, Co2, Dissolved Oxygen or Motion Sensor to the same network. If the sensors exist our engineers want to have a Plug and Play Smart Box for it. If you want a versatile Monitoring and Control System you can easily build and setup, easily upgrade and maintain then the Smart Box System is for you.

Summary
In building the Smart Box, our engineers have created a monitoring and control solution designed to be simple to use and simple to set up for home, scientific and industrial application; with a huge product range allowing anybody to have their own wireless monitoring and control system. Smart Box allows sophisticated and diverse systems to be created without the need of technical knowledge. Their low cost, size and power usage makes installing scalable distributed systems into difficult or sensitive areas a simple matter. Simply choose your Smart Box, place them in the required location, power them up and start accessing your results and control functionality. The user can build a unique solution by mixing and matching Smart Boxes, enabling wireless monitoring of a wide variety of parameters consisting of dozens of Smart Boxes.
