Efento Cloud is a platform for monitoring physical values with NB-IoT wireless sensors. It gathers data from sensors, stores it, and processes the data. Users can access the data through a web browser to view reports, graphs, and tables. The platform also allows users to set thresholds for parameters and receive SMS or email alerts if thresholds are exceeded. Efento Cloud provides a scalable and cost-effective solution for monitoring dispersed facilities.
3. ● Efento Cloud is a server platform
gathering, storing, and processing
data from Efento sensors
● The platform is ideal for dispersed
facilities or any facilities requiring
monitoring of parameters in many
points, such as pharmaceutical
wholesalers, cold stores, warehouses
● The data can be sent to the platform
from any location, and the user can
access it via a web browser
● The platform allows users to view the
data, generate reports from any period
of time and get SMS / email
notifications in case a parameter
exceeds safe value
Efento Cloud
Efento Cloud is a system for physical values monitoring, with SMS / email notifications and with remote access to the
measurement data and reports
4. Key features
Efento Cloud supports all functions necessary for effective and convenient control of environmental conditions in
dispersed locations/facilities
SMS / EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS & ALERTS
Once temperature / humidity / pressure threshold
is exceeded, user is notified by SMS / email
message
AUTOMATIC REPORTS
Measurement data can be sent to any email
address in the form of a PDF or CSV report. The
frequency of reporting is adjustable.
PRESENTATION OF DATA
Measurement data from any period of time can
be presented in a clear form of graphs or tables
SCHEME OF LOCATIONS
The platform enables mapping the structure of
any organization in the form of a tree and
assigning individual sensors to its branches
DIFFERENT LEVELS OF ACCESS RIGHTS
Access rights for different users can be limited
both in terms of privileges and areas/locations
FACILITY LAYOUT / MAP
Each location can be shown in the form of a floor
plan / map with the deployment of sensors
5. How it works?
The system consists of Efento wireless sensors and Efento Cloud platform which receives and proceeds all the data
NB-IoT sensors measure
temperature, humidity,
differential pressure,
barometric pressure,
device state and send
the data to Efento Cloud
The measurement data
can be sent to Efento
Cloud simultaneously
from many facilities /
locations, even
hundreds kilometers
away one from another
All the data goes to safe
Efento Cloud platform that
stores and process it
The users of the
system have access to
the data from
anywhere in the world
via web browsers - on
computers or
smartphones / tablets
If a monitored
parameter is exceeded,
user is alerted by SMS
or email

6. Why Efento Cloud?
Efento Cloud is a convenient, easy to configure, scalable and cost-effective solution
ACCESS FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD
Users log in to the platform via web browsers, no
additional software needed
CLOUD PLATFORM
Software updating and maintenance is provided
by the manufacturer for one-time license fee.
There is no subscription fee!
UNLIMITED NUMBER OF USERS
Any number of users can access sensors’ data,
you can assign specific access rights to each of
them
SCALABILITY
The data can come to the platform from any
number of facilities, no matter whether it is 10 or
1000. The configuration is always the same
LOW IMPLEMENTATION COSTS
Wireless communication technology reduces the
installation cost and the cloud platform minimizes
implementation and maintenance costs
EASY CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION
The system has been designed so that it can be
configured and used by anyone. The
configuration takes max 15 minutes
7. Why NB-IoT sensors?
NB-IoT allows battery powered sensors to send the data using GSM network and operate for years
Low cost
Easy
deployment
Long battery
lifetime
Reliability
Convenient to
use
NB-IoT sensors send the data over GSM network and do not need any wires
or gateways. User only needs to place a sensor in a place he wants to monitor
and register it on Efento Cloud
NB-IoT devices and connectivity are cheaper compared to other solutions. On
top of that user doesn’t need to maintain any additional devices - network is
maintained by a GSM operator
Operators provide very high SLA for NB-IoT networks. Sensor have built in
memory, so even in unlikely case of network downtime, they will resend the
missing measurements to Efento Cloud
Efento Sensors can operate for years on batteries. For instance sensor which
measures every 5 minutes will operate on batteries for 4 years.
Quick deployment, no wires, easy configuration and use of Efento Cloud and
long battery lifetime make Efento NB-IoT sensors one of the most convenient
monitoring solutions in the market
10. The list contains sensors with
current measurements,
status and information about
exceeded alarm thresholds
Sensors can be grouped in
any way e.g. by assignment to
a location
Filters allow users to sort sensors depending on their status
(normal, lost, alarm, low battery, switched off) and to mark
“favorite” ones
11. The range of information from
the dashboard can be
displayed on the map / floor
plan. The sensors can be
freely positioned on the map
/plan.
The status of each sensor is
shown by a suitable icon
For each location, the user
can assign a different map
After moving the cursor onto a
selected sensor, additional
information is shown
12. The measurement data can be
presented in the form of a
graph that can be freely
enlarged
The data can be presented on
a daily, weekly, monthly or
yearly basis
13. The measurement data can
also be presented as a table
The table shows data on a daily
basis, the information from other
periods is available in the form of
pdf / csv reports
15. Group edition of sensors
enables convenient and quick
change of their settings and
activation / deactivation
Ability to create any structure
(e.g. on geographical or
functional basis)
New devices appear on the list
of new sensors, they can be
named and moved to any
location
The table displays all sensors,
the user can edit their settings,
and enable SMS / email alerts
16. Each sensor can be named and assigned to a
location
The list contains all alarm rules assigned to selected
sensor
17. Alarm rules
Setting thresholds of the environmental parameters measured and establishing recipients of SMS / email alerts
18. The user can create any number of alarm rules.
When an alarm occurs, the system can send email
or SMS notification to any recipient
The alarm can be triggered by exceeding a
threshold, loss of communication with the sensor or
low battery
19. An alarm can automatically generate SMS or email
notifications sent to any recipients. The number
of the recipients of the alert is not limited.
Physical parameter subjected to
an alarm rule with a threshold (e.g.
air humidity above 35% RH)
Selection of sensors subjected to
the rule
21. The user can generate the report in
csv or pdf format
The report can cover any period of
time and contain measurements,
information on alarms and
technical data (e.g. low battery
messages)
To generate a report, the user
should choose the sensor(s). The
report can cover any number of
sensors, e.g. the entire group of
sensors located in Krakow.
It is also possible to configure automatic reports that will be sent by
email e.g. once a day or once a week

accounts in the system
Any user can get access to selected locations at one of
three permission levels. The user of administrator account
can configure the system (e.g. formulate alarm rules, assign
sensors to users in a given location, add new users),
manager account gives access to the data and the ability to
change some settings (e.g. alarm rules, sensor configuration,
automatic reports), and analyst account gives access to the
data without ability to change any settings.
