Accudata Enters IoT Space With Honeywell Wireless Gas Detection Solution

Accudata Systems is making its first play into the Internet of Things (IoT) space with a wireless gas detection offering.

Houston-based Accudata, No. 169 on the CRN SP 500, has teamed up with vendor Honeywell Analytics to sell the ConneXt Pro, which combines readings of toxic gases like hydrogen sulfide with location information from the portable monitors that are attached to a wireless network.
That toxic gas data -- along with the location of all operators -- is instantaneously displayed on a graphical overlay of the drilling site or refinery. The additional information is used by workers in the safety shed to undertake preventative maintenance and craft a more effective response in the event of an emergency, according to Accudata CEO Patrick Vardeman.
