Top 3 requirements for Remote Data Acquisition?
Reliability, Reliability, Reliability
We view any measurement which is not being directly controlled by an operator,
perhaps with a PC, as remote. Operations may include limited wired / wireless network capability,
but generally always require some level of autonomous data acquisition.
imc DataWorks specializes in multi-parameter, mixed-signal mechanical data
acquisition, measurement, and control. This includes the remote monitoring of Mechanical,
Electromechanical and
and Civil Engineering measurements required for a number of different disciplines, such as
bridge and roadway / runway monitoring, wind farm monitoring, and even the data recording
of automobiles and trucks on long duration test runs.

- update test configurations
- Remote access through conventional PC interface and/or ftp
- Support multiple user monitoring stations
- Harsh Environment: temperature extremes, dirt / dust / moisture / water spray
- Integrated signal conditioning & requlated sensor power: strain gauge, load, torque, pressure, temperature, ...
- DSP for on-the-fly calculations and data reduction
- Pre-Analysis with automatic test logbook, conditional triggering
- Distributed and Multi-point synchronized recording
- Onboard storage, timed recording, periodic saves, and safe shutdown on power failure
- Backup battery / UPS power solution, with wide range input power
- "Auto Start" capability for self-restarts after power / battery failure

Accurate data is tough enough to get in the lab; when in the field, leaving a system unattended for
days, weeks, or months of operation, it is reassuring to know that over 20 years of innovation and development, along
with the teams of dedicated and concerned engineers, stand behind your imc equipment.
Remote testing is not the place to be using home grown, "beta" software. This is the place for proven solutions.

Customer Profile
Road Testing at Volvo Truck
One of the most challenging aspects of on-road vehicle testing
is testing in remote areas, well removed from the R & D center.
With the help of imc technology, Volvo Truck has implemented a test
system that crosses state and country borders. The key feature: every
truck's measurement process can be observed and controlled without
the test engineers ever leaving the office, significantly reducing the
chance of expensive retesting due to bad road data.
