Advanced Wireless Data Collection

Dec. 21, 2020

DataSure 4.0 is an advanced wireless data collection system for acquiring precision measurement data. It offers an unprecedented range and data security, multiple gateways, compact size, and high speed.

The system operates on the latest wireless networking technology that uses short-wave radio frequencies to interconnect cell phones, computers, and wireless electronic devices, enabling much faster speed, greater bandwidth, and longer range for higher data throughput. The range of DataSure 4.0 is ten to twenty times that of any data collection system on the market.

DataSure 4.0 features higher bit rates and a very high-speed connection of less than 50 ms of data travel time and has an ultra-low latency network that enables high data volumes to be processed without delay, even at full capacity. Users of DataSure 4.0 can versatilely utilize multiple gateways that serve as central or distributed points for data collection, versus conventional systems that have only one gateway. The compact gateways and repeaters can easily fit in the palm of a hand.

Starrett DataSure 4.0 is built on a highly secure proprietary wireless platform. Transported data is encrypted using a multi-layered approach that absolutely prevents any outside access to the data, whether passive or active.

With DataSure 4.0, a new network topology can be configured to many simple or complex situations, and distributed remote gateways can also be utilized. Data is transmitted from gages that have either built-in radio transmitters or externally-mounted end nodes to gateways, and is operable on Android or IOS mobile platforms and Windows-based computers including laptops, desktop PCs, thin client PCs, and servers. DataSure 4.0 repeater and bridge components can also connect directly to PLCs and other high-speed serial automation equipment for real-time data collection or remote machine operation.

Starrett DataSure is compatible with all Starrett electronic digital gages, as well as electronic gages of other tool manufacturers. DataSure 4.0 works with gages that have built-in wireless capabilities, such as the Starrett W798 Calipers, W733.1 Micrometers, and W2900 Indicators, or via Starrett and other tool manufacturers’ electronic gages by externally mounting Starrett DataSure End Nodes on the gages. The Starrett Wireless Tools, as well as the DataSure 4.0 End Nodes, include an IP67 level of protection for use in harsh shop environments. In addition, DataSure 4.0 End Nodes are rechargeable, eliminating battery replacement and associated costs.
