Two domestic knowledge-based companies have developed software for monitoring the safety of server rooms and building structure to prevent irreparable costs.
Paz Andish Company has designed a server room monitoring software to control different variables in a server room.
“Dideban is a software that can be modular and give more control to any connected sensor,” Reza Mohammadi, a member of the company’s Board of Directors, was quoted as saying by the news portal of Vice-Presidency for Science and Technology.
As a vital unit of every company, the server room needs round-the-clock monitoring that can be conducted by the Dideban software.
The software can inform the server room manager of the temperature, humidity and other variables of the server room via text message and also send a warning message when any of these factors reach a dangerous level.
By using Dideban, the server room manager can remotely or automatically control the ventilation, fire extinguishing, cooling and heating systems.
For instance, when the server room’s temperature enters the danger zone, Dideban can establish a special process to control the temperature, or turn off the server to prevent fire and any likely damage to the server room.
Also, if there is a power outage in the server room, the software will inform users to be prepared for any possible server-related problems. It can store data on errors, as well as login and logout registration, with solar, lunar and Gregorian dates.
The Iranian product is about 20% cheaper than a foreign counterpart with the same capabilities.
Currently, several clinics in the city of Isfahan are using the domestic monitoring software.
Mohammadi noted that Paz Andish Company has created 10 direct jobs and will increase its workforce with the rise in demand.
“The domestic product imposes lower costs on users because they are designed in conformity with local conditions,” he said.
Building Safety Monitoring Software
Another knowledge-based company has developed a safety monitoring system that can identify defects in a building’s structure.
The software can constantly inspect defects by using a system that consists of a combination of sensors and a processor connected to the building structure.
“The monitoring system determines the safety of the building structure, including the presence, location and severity of damage, as well as the structure’s stability,” Amin Pour-Kabirian, a member of the Board of Directors of Smart Sensor Engineering Company, was quoted as saying.
The monitoring system provides information about the condition and reliability of the structure, and whether it is vulnerable to cracks or collapse.
If these defects remain unnoticed, they could give rise to a heavy and sometimes irreparable cost. This monitoring software predicts and prevents the occurrence of such defects.
Moreover, the software reduces the cost and time of maintenance of the building structure by using a different maintenance method.
By changing the time-based maintenance system to the condition-based maintenance system, instead of the inspection being performed after a certain number of working hours, it can be performed based on the condition of the structure. In other words, when the safety monitoring system gives a warning, the software starts the inspection operation.
According to Pour-Kabirian, creating job opportunities, preventing currency outflow, reducing the costs of construction companies and increasing financial efficiency are among the most important advantages of this software.
Online Air Quality Monitoring Device
A domestic knowledge-based company has developed a device that can help monitor air quality online by collecting related data.
The device uses 16 sensors to measure parameters such as PM2.5 (particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers) and SOx (sulfur oxides). Exposure to high levels of these gases can cause serious health issues.
Saman Abargan Water Company also handles the installation, calibration, maintenance, repair and supply of parts of the air monitoring device, the news portal of the Vice-Presidency for Science and Technology reported.
Currently, about 100 locations in Iran use devices to monitor the ambient air online. These devices consist of analyzers, service tools, sampling pipes and data loggers.
The company offers two-year warranty for replacement of parts and free service for all its products, which are not extended by suppliers of foreign counterparts in Iran.
In addition to its accuracy and sustainability, the main advantages of the domestic device include its compatibility with climatic conditions, cheaper price compared to foreign models, prompt customer support and abundant supply of parts.
The company has also developed a software to provide domestic online monitoring services. By using the software, all the ambient information can be accessed remotely.
The software helps users identify the source of environmental pollution, which are mainly industries and vehicles, and monitor air pollution information constantly. The information obtained by this device is used to control environmental pollution.
