Hawk Measurement Systems (HAWK), a manufacturer of level, positioning, asset monitoring and flow measurement solutions, has designed and developed an in-plant and cloud-based measurement and monitoring system, HawkEye365.
The HawkEye365 Online Inventory Asset and Monitoring Portal is a complete remote and in-plant measurement and system, which is uniquely different due to the communications capabilities and compatibility with Power over Ethernet (PoE) level sensors. The advantages to PoE connectivity are secure in-plant and remote monitoring as well as remote sensor setup, diagnostics and troubleshooting abilities. The HawkEye365 portal not only monitors PoE transmitters but is sensor agnostic and can monitor any type of field device such as level, flow, pressure, temperature and pH. The multiple communication methods include RS485, HART, Modbus, Ethernet TCP/IP, Cellular, Bluetooth and PoE.
The HawkEye365 Online Inventory Asset and Monitoring Portal has the ability to monitor multiple tanks and applications worldwide in real time. The portal provides accessibility to critical data such as the ability to view volume, space, material height, historical trending, alarms and alerts, sensor setup, and diagnostics. Plant level operator screens are customized to the company’s specifications to include control room level and operations level interface screens. The graphical user interface will be common throughout and permissions can be set for different tiers such as plant-level, finance or executive level. If any troubleshooting is required, the HawkEye365 will communicate to remote service technicians for off-site diagnostics, sensor health and re-configuration, without the need to climb a tank or enter the facility.
