Three needs. Three solutions. Three platforms…Discover the Flexa Sensors ecosystem!

Flexa Sensors. Weigh the moment

Why has Flexa Sensors developed three different systems?

The Real-Time, Internet of Things and NLP lines meet three different needs within the entertainment & exhibition sectors when it comes to suspended load monitoring

The IoT line is suitable for managing large networks with thousands of nodes that connect to the Cloud through one or more Gateways.
Data are updated approximately every 3 minutes. All information can be accessed by multiple devices connected to the Internet.

The Real-Time line is more suitable for managing up to a hundred of wireless cells. The system needs a local PC connected to a Gateway. Data are updated every second.

The LC-NLP line monitors the loads within a wired safety loop. The cable connection ensures constant control of the loads and an automatic reaction in case of anomalies, causing the immediate disconnection of the power supply to the hoists
