Applications for Web-Thermographs:
Worldwide access to measurement values via Twitter™
As a rule the desire to make measurement data available anywhere and anytime is associated with considerable installation outlay and a large amount of hardware and infrastructure. A better solution places the measurement data on the Internet with little complexity and makes it possible to use a client to obtain this data simply and from any location.
Traditional access to a client presumes penetrating the internal company network, which in the case of sensitive networks can be a security risk. The micro-blogging service Twitter lends itself to access, since all the client accesses remain in the public network and no access to internal data is necessary.
Worldwide access to your measurement data via Twitter is now possible with al Web-Thermographs having firmware version 1.58 or higher. All you need is a Twitter account and a few settings in the device configuration.
