The Next Generation Measurement Solution

ViFDAQ is a fully customizable, wireless measurement device for complex applications where no standard solutions are commercially available. High-precision wireless time-synchronization combines multiple ViFDAQ nodes to a single virtual device.

New areas of application like spatially distributed measurements or investigations on several moving objects become possible. The freedom of easy hardware customization enables a mixture of measurement quantities not available on one single off-the-shelf device.

Furthermore, the wireless communication interface greatly reduces instrumentation costs and allows for an easy operation.

Features

• very compact, modular design
• battery powered
• multi-hop capable WSN technology
• dependable, high precision wireless clock synchronization
• multiple sensor interfaces readily available
• extendable with new functionality
• easy integration / application
• scalable software framework (GUI / API)

Inputs

• analog signals (fully differential inputs)
• temperature sensors (thermocouple and RTD)
• pressure sensors (differential, absolute – down to 25 Pa)
• RTK GNSS positioning
• inertial measurement unit
• CAN-bus interface

ViFDAQ system is easily extended by additional interfaces and sensor technologies.

Use-Cases

• Rail/Automotive: vehicle monitoring and fleet analysis with cloud upload
• Edge Computing: process data directly on sensor
• WSN: quick installation and synchronous sampling on multiple (moving) objects
• Interior Concept: easy installation to test multiple cars in short time
• Integration: integrate ViFDAQ with other measurement equipment (e.g. PEMS) to monitor additional information
• Industry 4.0: production monitoring, predictive maintenance
• Embedded: measurement in constrained locations
