2008 Product of the Year award for Cummins Power Generation
The PowerCommand iWatch wireless monitoring system from Cummins Power Generation won the Gold award in the power generation category in the 2008 Product of the Year from Consulting-Specifying Engineer magazine. The PowerCommand iWatch wireless monitoring system remotely monitors generator sets via cellular or satellite networks. Users access operational data using the Internet or receive e-mails or text messages about alarm condition updates. The system uses a Modbus or hardwired interface to communicate with a Web server over a satellite or cellular connection.
Wireless remote monitoring of standby, rental or prime power generator sets is convenient and it significantly improves reliability by providing real-time information and historical data logging. For on-site power systems that provide continuous power, real-time remote monitoring can help improve performance and allows users to react to alarm conditions in a timely manner, leading to higher power system reliability and greater peace of mind.
