DEVICE 01

Satellite Sensor

Wireless device that measures continuously, stores data locally and transmits it over LoRa to the Data Gateway. Powered by two AA batteries, it runs for 1 to 5 years without maintenance, depending on the transmission interval. Plug and play installation, with setup done through the app over Bluetooth.

DEVICE 02

Data Gateway

Gateway that integrates the sensors and equipment in a sector, collecting, storing and sending the data to the platform over encrypted MQTT. It keeps monitoring continuous even during a temporary network failure, thanks to the local buffer. It connects to the internet over Wi-Fi, Ethernet or cellular, receives the sensors over BLE and LoRa, and speaks Modbus to integrate with the automation already in the hospital.

THE SYSTEM IN USE

From raw data to decision, in one platform

The hardware measures and sends. It is in the DROME platform that data becomes insight, alarms and reports. See three real screens of the system.

SCREEN 01 · MONITORING

Everything on one screen, live

The panel brings systems, units, equipment and sensors together in a hierarchical tree that updates in real time. Each point status shows by color and the detail is a few clicks away.

  • System, Unit, Equipment and Sensor hierarchy with live status
  • Thousands of sensors in a single view, with no page reload
  • Reorderable cards and zoom each operator tunes their own way

SCREEN 02 · HISTORY

Every reading, with forensic depth

The sensor screen shows the current reading, the history and the alarm bands on the same chart. You can compare periods, comment points on the curve and export everything for audit.

  • Chart with min, max, average and alarm bands on the same axis
  • Period comparison to tell a pattern from an anomaly
  • Auditable comments and raw data export
SCREEN 03 · REPORTS

Audit-ready reports

Every alarm occurrence is logged with reading, range, duration and justification, alongside the audit trail and calibration control. All exportable to Excel and PDF.

  • Occurrences with reading, safe range, duration and justification
  • Audit trail and calibration control in one place
  • Excel and PDF export for ANVISA, FDA and EU GMP
