Introduction

We develop robust, reliable and efficient IoT solutions to track and communicate with anything that moves. We collect and analyse useful data, providing the insights our customers need to make success defining decisions.

Our Products

Built Tough. Easy to use.

Barnacle

Limpet

Sentinel

Bridge

Barnacle

The Basalt Barnacle integrates a best-in-class GPS receiver, a Long Range (LoRa) radio transceiver and a range of different environmental sensors to provide telemetrics data in real time. An onboard cache allows the device to act as a data-logger in the field, passing the collected data off to the Sentinel when it returns to base.

Low-power flexibility

The Barnacle can be run on AA Lithium batteries for 3 years, or a rechargeable Li-ion battery can be provided. A range of environmental sensors can be used, including Accelerometer, Time of Flight (proximity), Humidity, Temperature and Acoustic.

Limpet

The Basalt Limpet is a ruggedized Bluetooth Beacon, supporting all common protocols. It allows the integration of one extra environmental sensor and is well suited to location and presence tracking at bases and depots.

Goes the distance

Powered by two standard AA batteries, it can attain a lifetime of 3 years. This can be extended to 5 years when Lithium batteries are used.

Sentinel

The Basalt Sentinel is a powerful gateway which communicates with the rest of the Basalt range of products. It supports wired LAN, LTE and WIFI to communicate with the cloud, and provides Bluetooth and Long Range Radio (LoRa) communication for data acquisition from the Barnacle and Limpet products. In LoRa mode, the Sentinel can receive data at multi-kilometre range.

Deploy it where you need it

The Basalt Sentinel is available in indoor and outdoor versions, and can be coupled with a battery backup. A solar charging version is also available, making the Sentinel the most flexible and powerful device of its kind on the market.

Easy deployment, powerful analysis

Basalt Bridge is the command centre of our product range. It provides easy to use interfaces for a range of different user types. Field operators can use Bridge from mobile devices to provision and deploy Sentinels, Barnacles and Limpets; Engineers love its powerful stochastic analysis capabilities; Developers and Business Analysts admire the ease of integration with third party systems.

More than just tracking

Although the real time location tracking capabilities of Bridge are second to none, it offers so much more. A powerful time-series database, coupled with a stochastic analysis engine enables the semi-automation of preventive maintenance activities. Real-time Geo-fence capabilities allow for presence and exception alerting for valuable assets - providing valuable data to both you and your customers.

Who we are

About Us

We combine a deep expertise in embedded system development with a unique user oriented approach to system design.  Our hardware is rugged, reliable and built to last for years in the most challenging of environments. It looks tough, because it is tough – but that doesn’t mean it needs to be hard to use.  Our hardware is combined with a software platform that is open, flexible and user friendly.  We have put a lot of time and effort into the areas that other vendors see as an after-thought:  provisioning, updating, maintenance and analysis is performed using the Basalt Bridge –  and it is a joy to use!  

 

We’re also agile enough to be able to quickly adapt our platform to customer needs. We regularly customise either our hardware of software to fulfil specific requirements, or integrate with legacy systems.  And we do this in days or weeks, not months.

Our Successes: Case studies

For the last 20 years we produced hardware and software for anything that moves. Be it private jets, yachts, buses or trains – we have built a history that we’re proud of.

Our Approach

Smart application of open technologies

The open-source world has been a huge driver of innovation in the software world for over twenty years.  It has taken time for that change to be felt in the world of heavy industry, but we’re doing our best to accelerate the adoption of this vast treasure trove of ideas and technology.  Our products, our tool-sets and our development processes are deeply rooted in the open-source world. This gives us unparalleled flexibility and speed to market: both for new products, and when adapting our systems to meet specific customer needs.

  • Both our software and hardware development processes start with a survey of the open source community: who and what can we leverage when solving a specific problem?
  • We're dedicated to using and providing standards based APIs whenever possible. This makes it incredibly easy for our customers to attach the Basal product range to their existing technology stack.
  • This approach is mirrored in the hardware that we build: rather than relying on proprietary chips with closed software and vendor lock-in, we always strive to follow the "open way". This ensures that our hardware products can be constantly improved without sacrificing security.

Our Value Proposition

Unparalleled insights, informed decisions.

So it’s great that our platform is so capable, and so flexible; but how does it help your business?  The answer is knowledge.  By combining our rugged, battery powered IoT sensors and data loggers, with our resilient and easily deployable gateways you’ll be able to improve your business processes in ways you never dreamt of.

Our sensors are light weight and low power.  They can be operated on a pair of standard batteries for years at a time.  But that doesn’t mean they’re not powerful: we utilise industry leading GPS receivers and best-in-class Accelerometer and Environmental Sensors.  Pair that with state of the art micro-controllers and kilometre-range wireless communication and you’ve got a potent weapon in your arsenal.  If you need to know what your machinery, rolling stock, vehicles or assets are doing no matter where they are, if you want to spot problems before they emerge  – then the Basalt product range is right for you.
