The AEM-1000 is 3.3 in by 2.2 in by 0.2 in. · Non-Intrusive Application – Given its small size, low thermal profile and self-powered features there is no impact to the application or monitored device. No connectors or wires needed. Use it wirelessly inside electronics housing. · Radio Frequency (RF) Communications - from feet (for security) up to 100 meters. Based on RFID standard using. This RF communications facilitates recovery of data from that environment monitoring and programming. · Non-Volatile Storage (NV) – used for environmental sampling data, including date and time tracking information. Also used for storage of programming information (serial number, start date/time, security data…). · Temperature Sensing/Sampling - Temperature sensing/sampling with date and time stamp, ranging from -10°C to 100°C. Non-volatile (NV) storage is used for this information. Sample time intervals are programmable in multiples of 10-seconds, up to one sample every 24-hours. Additional features are delayed start, high / low thresholds. · Motion Sensing (option) - Three Dimensional (3D) Motion sensing utilizing sensitive and programmable accelerometers. Interrupt based sensitivity in multiple step g-force level (1.5g, to 10g). · Shock Sensing (option) - At 10G Maximum measurement and NV storage is an extension of the 3D motions sensing to a higher g-force measurement. This shock measurement can be initiated by interrupt (at the exclusion of the lower g-force interrupt) or activated by the lower g-force energy sensor detecting motion. · Higher-Level Shock Measuring (Option) - 200G Shock measuring is used in single dimension. Also, preprogrammable in steps up to 200g. · Vibration (option) - Vibration is accomplished using the lower energy accelerometers listed above, in combination with the microcontroller for frequency and duration. · Tamper Monitoring and Recording - Tamper monitoring and recording via various monitoring methods for physical and RF/Software tampering are available. Utilizing non-volatile storage of type of tampering with date and time of occurrence. Definition of methodology is part of the customization design process. · Relative Humidity (optioin)- Relative Humidity (RH) sensing/sampling with date and time stamp, ranging from 10%RH to 90%RH. Non-volatile (NV) storage is used for this information. Sample time intervals are programmable in multiples of 10-seconds, up to 24-hours. · Additional Sensor (option) - interfaces are available for customization. There can be a large variety of functions, for example external thermocouples, strain gauges, resistance or voltage/current measurements and more. Part of the customizable design. · Reusable – The packaging and the functionality are designed for multiple uses. Once the current data is recovered, the data memory can be cleared and the programmable features can be reset for additional use, after additional use. · Self-contained Power - (battery powered) with associated hardware and software design is used to extend useful life. As new technology power sources emerge, they will be considered as alternatives. Expected useful life is dependent on several application specifications and will need to be determined based on customization needs.
AEM-1000 The credit card sized RFID tag that delivers environmental monitoring The AEM-1000 is a “Smart” RFID tag that brings environmental monitoring functions to conventional RFID tracking and identification. These environmental monitors include temperature, humidity, motion, shock, and vibration and all are stored with time/date stamps in internal non-volatile memory. This self-contained, small design allows for a unique and powerful view of your environment; Non-intrusive, Autonomous Environmental Monitoring. The size of a typical credit card, the AEM-1000 contains an expansive array of environmental monitoring and data storage functionality. Small enough to be applied as a label on shipping package or installed inside a product’s electronic housings (e.g., portable computer housing) without disturbing airflow, weight or heat dissipation. The environmental monitoring features of the AEM-1000 provide a new perspective on products in use, in transport or in storage. While fragile or perishable items particularly benefit from this environmental monitoring, there are numerous other applications. Manufacturing equipment monitoring, for example, can prevent factory shutdowns through early detections of equipment issues. The design of the AEM-1000 allows for data to be continuously collected and stored (onboard) while still maintaining vigilance over the surrounding environment. Stored data can be transmitted by RFID technology, without removal of the tag. This autonomous function allows the AEM-1000 to be used in a warehouse, aircraft, truck or rail car. Security and tracking are additional values from the AEM-1000. All of these features helps you answer the questions, “Where is my product? How long has it been there? What environment has it been in? Has it been tampered with? Each AEM-1000 can be used over and over, in different situations, with different measurements. Very customizable with multiple programmable features; like delayed start, high and low thresholds. Setup and data retrieval is easily accomplished through radio frequency (RF) links. ---See the AEM-1000 datasheet for more details---
