DATAC Releases GeMSeT, a Generator Monitoring and Secure Tracking Solution

December 9, 2003 - Dublin, Ireland and Houston, Texas – DATAC today announce the release of DATAC GeMSeT, a generator monitoring and secure tracking device for the construction and utility industries. DATAC GeMSeT monitors engine operations and detects alarms or failures, identifying issues before they become real problems.

“Users of DATAC GeMSeT can feel secure in the knowledge that their generator is being monitored continuously, ” said Cyril Kerr, CEO of DATAC. “This reduces downtime, the cost of maintaining generators and the risk of generator theft”.

DATAC GeMSeT has been designed to monitor the status and precise geographic position of generators and is used as a condition monitor, a fuel monitor and an anti-theft tracking device. The status and alarm conditions of digital and analogue inputs are monitored and alarm notification messages are sent using SMS on alarm occurrence. DATAC GeMSeT monitors its geographic position using GPS satellite system and alarms if the position drifts outside the user-defined “geo-fence”.

DATAC GeMSeT reports back to DATAC’s Flexview HMI office software, which can run on any Microsoft PC. FlexView stores the DATAC GeMSeT data in its database and provides mimics, reports, graphs and preventative maintenance alarms.

According to the UK Policing & Reducing Crime Unit, theft of plant equipment has been estimated to cost companies between £600 million and £1 billion per year. Worldwide construction plant theft is approximately £10 billion per annum.

DATAC GeMSeT is priced at US$950 making the generator monitoring and secure tracking device an affordable solution for large and small businesses looking to improve efficiency and remove the risk of generator theft.
