“In terms of installation, a warehouse can have 40-foot high
ceilings so it would be costly to run conduit and wires all over
for gas monitoring, power and connectivity. Loading docks
tend to be situated at the ends of a facility, so wireless could
be a big benefit there too. By avoiding the cost and complexity
of requiring an electrician for such areas, you could probably
save about 20 percent on installation costs,” says Rainone.
Acme, for its part, has developed a wireless version of its
MGMS system that incorporates a unique Wi-Fi capability so
it is not necessary to have a control panel as the sole point to
receive feedback from the gas detection network. With the
wireless MGMS users can observe current conditions via their
computers, tablets and phones, with real-time alarms in case
of emergency.
“When it comes to reducing installation cost and expediting
the project, there is going to be a benefit with wireless.
Because anytime you eliminate conduit and wire from one
sensor to the next, to the next — and you eliminate all that
material and labor — there are going to be savings with
wireless,” concludes Rainone.
