REMOTE VISUAL MONITORING

BONT-CLT system: the best solution for Energy and Petrochemical

sectors.

This application fulfils requirements of Energy and Petrochemical sectors, his-

torically served by CESARE BONETTI Company, when and where level data
needs to be transferred to a control room located far from the measurement
point or if such measurement reading is hard to be manually monitored.

The BONT-CLT system grants a remote monitoring providing a more

effective and efficient control process. The system can monitor several visual
levels and wireless transmit their signal. The system set up, based on simple
self-teaching technique, allows to be easily operated by unskilled technicians.

Other application includes:

· Control of laying/movement of viaducts (recommended configuration
GSM/GPRS)
· Monitoring slopes (recommended configuration GSM/GPRS);
· Stability check of towers, pylons, dams, etc., (recommended configuration
GSM/GPRS or cable).

MEASUREMENT OF SOLIDS

BONT-CLT system: the best solution for Chemical,

Food & Beverage and Mining Industry.

This application fulfils requirements of Chemical and Food & Beverage indus-
tries, thanks to its ability to evaluate and quantify the accumulation of loose
solid material.

The system broadens its scope and, beside the simple level measuring,
includes the volume and weight of solids measurement calculation and data
transmission.

This solution, available in either wireless or cabled configuration and suitable

to collect to one control room data coming from more and far different loca-
tions, offers the best solution for logistic management of materials (and relative
management cost) as well as for improving Just In Time policies providing
added value and competitive advantage for the end client.

Other application includes:

· monitoring the extension and volume of a river basin (GSM/GPRS);
· assessment of industrial waste output (wireless or cable).

INDEPENDENT CONTROL

BONT-CLT system: the best solution for Environment,

Public Utilities and artistic and cultural heritage sectors

This application fulfils requirements of water distribution and management sec-

tor, where and when for the user it is essential to have a reliable system able
to react autonomously to particular events.

BONT-CLT system is particularly useful in order to prevent or to manage

dangerous and/or alarm situations, especially when the position being moni-
tored and controlled is unattended, far or not easy to reach.

More than this, since the system communicates with users actively and proac-
tively via GSM/GPRS (protected by password and white-list).

The BONT-CLT artificial vision system and it is able to perform a

self-diagnostic process to identify any process/service malfunction, so repre-
senting the ideal solution for measuring levels, monitoring and unintrusively
controlling remote and unattended sites.

FEATURES

The BONT-CLT “Camera Level Transmitter” - a fast microprocessor (intelligent unit) that per-
system is based on “intelligent” sensors with ded- forms a matrix analysis on the target area;
icated firmware, and its conception is inspired by
the workings of human sight. It comprises: - an independent vision system enslaved to the
processor, which detects the luminance of the
individual elementary aureoles;

- a reception and transmission system enslaved

to the microprocessor, which relays the informa-
tion.

The system can be configured in different ways to

suit individual applications. Some examples of
typical configurations include:

- Independent sensor with GSM/GPRS modem

transmission of levels and single frames, for
applications in open and remote
locations;

- Sensor connected to PC via

cabled Ethernet;

- Sensor connected to PC using

wireless technology.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

The BONT-CLT uses cutting-edge technology.

The receiver performs a matrix analysis on the

target area to give a luminance value for each
viewed elementary aureole.
This information is then used as the basis for
measurements.

A straight line (“reference line”) is defined, mark-

ing the point where variations in level are to be
evaluated in terms of luminance variation. The communication firmware acts as an interface
between the system and a remote supervisor,
The system continuously scans right, along the although this is not actually essential in order for
