PRESS RELEASE Of interest to editors and journalists covering: Energy, Gas/Petrochemicals, Wireless/Telecom, Internet/Software, AL News Gas Technology Institute Selects Rymic's Wireless Internet Enabled Data Acquisition And Control Products HUNTSVILLE, AL - March 23, 2004 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Gas Technology Institute (GTI), a leader in energy and environmental research, has selected Rymic Systems' rymicNETTM family of Internet-enabled data acquisition and control systems to collect field data for various aspects of research at locations throughout the United States and Canada. rymicNET enables organizations to continuously monitor and control remotely located devices and equipment anytime, anywhere-regardless of where the equipment or the user is located. rymicNET is a completely self-contained system that combines data acquisition and site computing in a compact and ready-to-deploy unit. The rymicNET system continuously collects data from sensors, cameras, and other devices, converts that data into useful information for the customer, and makes the information available to users via the Internet. With on-board processing, rules engine, and scripting capability, the rymicNET system performs actions such as output control, alarm notification and report generation based on conditions, thresholds, and events. GTI will use the rymicNET system to continuously monitor parameters such as gas flow, air temperature, water flow, water temperature, humidity and electric power for furnaces, water heaters, and other heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. Information provided by the rymicNET system includes flow rates, peaks, usage, demand, and profiling events such as water draw and space heating. The rymicNET units will report the collected data to GTI's headquarters in Des Plaines, Illinois, where it will be used for further analysis. With rymicNET's wireless sensor support and cellular communications capability, GTI will be able to install monitoring systems with minimal impact on its customers' facilities. Installing conduit for wired sensors and tapping into the customers' networks or phone lines are no longer necessary with the rymicNET solution. "The ability to receive real-time data from our test sites is very important to us," says Tim Cole, GTI's Associate Director, Residential/Commercial Programs. "Now we'll be able to monitor the data continuously, and also communicate directly with the data acquisition system and change parameters as needed." GTI is the leading research, development and training organization serving energy markets. GTI is dedicated to meeting the nation's energy and environmental challenges by developing technology-based solutions for consumers, industry, and government.
