Overview

SensorCloud is useful for a variety of applications, particularly where data from large sensor networks needs to be collected, viewed, and monitored remotely.  Structural health monitoring and condition based monitoring of high value assets are applications where commonly available data tools often come up short in terms of accessibility, data scalability, programmability, or performance.    MicroStrain’s SensorCloud was born out of a need for a better tool for these types of applications but the core features and benefits can add value to a much broader range of applications.
